try to use:

strDbPathAndName = (Server.MapPath("\") & "\databasefolder\wwforum.mdb")

my example is the path to server root\databasefolder\wwforum.mdb

This way uses the path relative to root and not relative to the wwf folder!

That doesn't look like a correct path, more the path on the FTP server, which maybe different to the path to your web site.

You could either ask your web host what the path is to this database ortry a work it out by uploading a file to your web site containg thefollowing:-

<%
'Physical path of the root directory
Response.Write Server.MapPath("/")
%>


This will give the physical path to this file on the web server.

Hi there

Ive changed the following line

strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("admin/database/wwForum.mdb")

to

 strDbPathAndName = ("E:/FTP_Data/InternetServices/users/********com/database/ww Forum.mdb")

It still doesnt work. You think it might be the host?

Cheers

If you are using the physical server path you need to remove the Server.MapPath method.]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 11:02:43 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-set-up-problem_topic8976_post47343.html#47343 <![CDATA[Forum set up problem : Hi All I was wondering if you...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-set-up-problem_topic8976_post47323.html#47323 Author: ch_e_wy

Hi All

I was wondering if you could help me. Ive got the forum up and running fine on my own machine. I've tried to move the forum to a remote server, their file structure is as follow

websitecom -> database -> wwForum.mdb   
websitecom  -> www -> asp files

Ive replaced the code in the common.asp with the phyiscal path for the database. Probs is it doesnt seem to see it.

Anyone got any idea how i rememdy this.

Cheers
