Have a look in the ASP -> FAQ section of this site on how to set permissions on the server.

You need to give the IUSR account on the server Read, write, and Modify permissions on the database directory.

to avoid this problem i tried to upgrade the db on my local machine with iis (i suppose i have all the permissions i need) but the result is the same. The permission on the file (in the properties label) are not set on read-only. I don't know what else can i do.]]> Mon, 15 May 2006 17:35:28 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/upgrading-to-v-8-for-dummies_topic19585_post107024.html#107024 <![CDATA[Upgrading to V.8 for Dummies? : The part &#039;database is read-only&#039;...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/upgrading-to-v-8-for-dummies_topic19585_post107023.html#107023 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

The part 'database is read-only' is the clue here.

It looks like your database has the 'read-only' attribute set on the file before uploading, or more likely you d not have permissions on the directory to write to, or modify the database.

Contact your web host to make sure they have the correct permissions set on the server for you to write and modify the database.

forgiveme borg, i'm a stupid. I speak a terrible english but i read it exactly like it was italian......... and viceversa.

so that report was in italian and, you are right, the prloblem is that:

Impossibile modificare la struttura della tabella "tblForum". Il database è di sola lettura. -> Impossible to modify the structure of table "tblForum". The db is read-only

and

Nessun valore specificato per alcuni parametri necessari. -> no value specified for some necessary values.


But i've not modified the db nor the permissions. Ho can i do?

(i hope you have understood something from my english)

The errors are in a language that I can not read, so it's hard to tell what the exact problem is, but for some reason, it looks like the tables in your database can not be modified to make them compatible with version 8.

It could be a permissions issue, or you have modified the database yourself, again not being able to read the error message it's hard to tell.

Make sure you have permission to modify the database tables and you haven't modified or customised the database yourself.

I take it this is when using the upgrade tool?

The message suggests that the path to your database is incorrect.

probably the simplest way to do this so you know the path to your database is correct is place the upgrade tool and your access database in the same folder, then just enter the name of the Access database only, as you won't need a path as it will be in the same directory.
