Oh, it doesn't?? Let me go take a look at it.
quote:
1. Unzip Files:
a. The Snitz_Forums_2000_v3_1_sr_3.zip file should be unzipped into a directory on your server.
(usually /forum/)
b. The tools.zip file (located inside the Snitz_Forums_2000_v3_1_sr_3.zip file) should be unzipped
into a sub-folder of your forum called /tools/.
Hmm, ok, that's step one. What do I do next?quote:
2. The snitz_forums_2000.mdb file needs to be uploaded into a directory where
the directory permissions have been set to read/write, i.e. a cgi-bin/ or
fpdb/ folder. Also, it's advisable to make sure this directory is not
accessible by the web to stop people downloading the database. Bottom line,
set up the "IUSR_YOURMACHINENAME" account (or EVERYONE) to have full control
of that file/directory outside of your web server (most secure).
Ok, uploaded my database, what next?quote:
3. Open the config.asp file in your favorite text editor (DO NOT USE FRONTPAGE FOR THIS !).
a. Remove the ' in front of the "strDBType" variable with the database type you want to use.
b. Update the "strConnString" variable with the correct path to your .MDB file or to the SQL-server database
Make sure you remove the ' in front of the variablestring you want to use.
c. If you need to rename the prefix on your tables, then update the
"strTablePrefix" variable as appropriate. For a first install the default setting doesn't need to be changed.
d. If you are sharing a member list with another version of these forums,
then update the "strMemberTablePrefix" to point to that list in the same
Database. For a first install the default setting doesn't need to be changed.
Ok, is that it? Yep, that's it. Just go to the default.asp file in the forum folder, using your browser and your done.
And I got all the quotes I made from the readme.txt file.
