I would appreciate it if someone could pop into my forum (http://www.old-ager.com/forum/default.asp) and take a look at my problem. I don't exactly know how to describe it, but it looks like some files are not being accessed or something because I have broken image links, no table borders, etc... All that shows up is the initial install text (i.e. Testing Forums thread). What's strange is I don't get any error messages.
I have been scanning the forums for two days now trying to find anything that describes what's going on, but being an absolute ASP newbie, I'm afraid I may have missed something that the rest of you might find to be quite obvious.
I have tried the different strConnString settings as described throughout the forums and in the readme.txt file, but the problem is always there.
Currently, I am setup to use a DSN and have selected in the config.asp the following:
strDBType = "access"
and added this:
strConnString = "DSN=snitz" (tried "DSN=snitz;" also)
My files are stored as follows:
Forum Files: .../old-ager.com/user/htdocs/forum
Tool Files: .../old-ager.com/user/htdocs/forum/tools
Database: .../old-ager.com/user/private/snitzforum.mdb
* I converted the original file to Access 2000, renamed it snitzforum.mdb, and the same thing kept happening.
* The permissions on my "private" directory are set to read/write/execute for owner only.
I hope I have provided enough info and again, I would appreciate the help.

I'll make a guess that your forum website isn't set up as a web Application, or otherwise doesn't support Application() variables. The forum config information is loaded into Application variables and from the looks of your page, the config settings are missing.

Doug,
I feel a bit dumb right now because of all the things I tried based on the posts in this forum, the one thing I missed was running setup.asp, and guess what happened...
It seems to be working just fine. For some reason, trying to run default.asp immediately after installation did not work. It just hit me as I was staring at my forum directory: RUN SETUP.ASP!!!
Thanks for the help anyway!
