There are two common.asp files, one in the admin area and one with the main forum files.

You maybe looking at the wrong file.

You will also nned to change the path in both files.

Your path looks a little strange:-

Server.MapPath("..\..\websitename\db\database.mdb")

Why have you got the part marked in red? To get to your web site root would it not be?:-

Server.MapPath("..\..\db\database.mdb")

strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("..\..\websitename\db\database.mdb")

i looked at this section and from the admin area this part  (..\..\) will take you to the website root folder.

not knowing the file structure layout. you may need to add another ..\ to the path.

Hi, i'm spanish so sorry for my inglish.

I've installed the version v7.9 of web wiz forum in my website. I can log as administrator but when i try to enter in the administrator menu it appears the next message:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0176 : 80004005'

Path Not Found

/ligasonline/forum/admin/common.asp, line 123

The Path parameter for the MapPath method did not correspond to a known path.

I see the common.asp and inte line 123 is empty:

122 Dim blnUseApplicationVariables 'Set to true if application varibles are used'These are used for forum permissions

123
124 Dim blnRead

I've changed the position and name of my database. I've put it in websitename/db/database.db

The forum is:

websitename/forum/etc...

And i do:

strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("..\..\websitename\db\database.mdb")

I've tried to do all the possibles combinations but nothing...

Also i've tried to do a physicial connection, but also crashes, it appears a message of dns connection failed.

If you know what i can do, please tell me.

Tnx at all
