i have a bad feeling. the forum files, config.asp had pointed to a database that is no longer there, when the provider switched me to plesk. i have now a different ip for the database. is it possible that the forum still loaded posts to the old dtbase host adress and that the provider now deleted this and is no longer working, and if i oint to the new server ip that many posts are gone? and in which files would i have to switch all the ip database info? heeeeelp

the database details are in the config.asp file

I'm sick to my stomach. when i change the db info in config asp the forum comes back on, with all being out of shape, and more errors. what the heck is going on here?

is the forum not compatible with ODBC 5.5.51 Driver???
the provider switched me to plesk. so when they say they moved me over, i guess that means they copied data from the database from the old hosting to the new one, basically giving my data a new server address but never telling me that i would have to change the config.asp file or other things. which i think means that all the posts made to the forum were stored to the old hosting, and now it seems the old database address was deleted basically deleting all posts made in the last months? could this be possible what i'm thinking here?

when i open setup.asp i get this:


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.
