I have go-daddy.com
 
If your forum is in a sub-directory directly under your go-daddy.com root directory, then that common.asp should look like this:
"../access_db/wwforum.mdb"
and the common.asp in the forum\admin directory should look like this:
"../../access_db/wwforum.mdb"
In other words, you need a ../ for each directory deep that your common.asp files are.
 
The other option would be to use a hard coded path in both files:
"d:\hosting\yourgodaddyusername\access_db\wwforum.mdb"
 
I used a file called "whereami.asp" from when I was running a snitz forum to figure out the path (yours may be different). Whereami.asp won't work in your access_db directory because of the permissions, but you can put it in your godaddy.com root directory and find out where it is located and just add the access_db directory to it. Just search on google for whereami.asp if you decide to go that route.

1st turn off firendly HTTP errors in IE so you get what the actaul error message is.

2nd DSN connections are slow and don't really work for Web Wiz Forums, so you should use the DSN-less connection.

I have installed Web wiz on my website, and am hosting through go daddy. The page loaded fine no problem i went through the registeration and click submit and get internal error 500...
 
Ok so i login to my control panel add MS Access support to my website which creates a secured folder called access_db. I load the mfb in that directory and edit the common.asp file to point to "../../access_db/wwDatabase.mdb"
 
Now default.asp wont even launch...
 
Okay well i did have to create a DSN with a username and password for this database. So I change the line to "DSN=access_wwDatabase.dsn","username","password"
 
Stil no dice. Im completely lost on how to get this workin with godaddy hosting. Any help?
