ok i am very new to cgi and forums and what not and i am trying to install my forum and im am getting kinda stuck if anyone can help that would be great

1) Remove the ' in front of the "strDBType" variable with the database type you want to use.

how do i know what kind of database i want to use?

2)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.

i put that in my cgi-bin so i am guessing i change strConnString to cgi bin?

3) 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.

how do i know if i need to change this?

im sorry if these are really basic questions but im not very good with code so.... any help

thanks!

#1 just use "access"

#2 go here: http://forum.snitz.com/archive/default.asp?catid=11&cattitle=Forum+Setup+Tools

and download the Where Am I? (.ASP) file to find the path to your database and insert it into one of the strConnString lines. The ones labeled for use with Access2000 are the preferred ones.

#3 just leave them like they are.
