Hey,
I set up two forums yesterday, and they worked fine.. Now all of a sudden neither forum works (without me modifying neither code nor messages).
I use the following connection string:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" and then the Server.MapPath instructions.
Well.. this worked fine yesterday, and almost all day today.. But now all of a sudden the database can't be opened. I get an internal server error (500) when trying to access the forum, and when I try to go to setup.asp, I get the following error (on both forums, i.e. two separate databases):
The database could not be opened !!
Check your config.asp file and set the
strConnString so it points to the database.
Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Code : -2147467259
Any idea?? I haven't changed ANYTHING since it was working.. no posting, no code modifications no nothing..
Please help..

Do you have some more specifics on your error? If you have IE, go to tools-Internet Options-Advanced and uncheck 'show friendly HTTP errors' to get more details returned with your error.

Ok.. thanks for the tip.. didn't know it was available.. :)
Anyway, just after I made that post, the forum worked again, only to go down with the same error just now..
Here's the error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
/ichl/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
Any ideas? I don't understand why it can't open the database all of a sudden since it seems as if one moment it can open it, then it can't.

I've seen similar errors due to the server being busy. If the problem comes and goes and isn't duplicatable, it's probably a resources problem with your web server (not enough memory, too slow, not enough bandwidth, etc.)
