    Posted: 15 July 2005 at 8:26pm
Now I've uploaded the Forum onto my server every time I try to access the site I get the log-in box.
 
I've temporarily renamed index.asp to NOindex.asp but I still get the log-in box.
 
I want users to access the Forum from my index.html page - how do I do that?
 
Thanks and kind regards
 
Mike

You cannot have the forum on index.html unless you re-configure IIS to host asp pages on the html extension.
When you say you get the login box, do you get the forums login screen or a server logon prompt? If it's the latter, contact you host.

Hello Michael and thank you for your prompt response.
 
I think I confused the situation by making two posts but I discovered the second problem after I'd posted the first message.
 
The log-in box says "Enter Network Password" and asks for "User Name", "Password" and "Domain"; as I've never seen the Admin log-in for the Forum, I don't know what it looks like, so from your comments I guess I need to speak to my hosting company about this?
 
Prior to uploading the Forum the site had a dozen or so html pages however, now that I've uploaded the Forum, when anyone accesses the site they get this log-in box; I don't seem to be able to restore index.html as the loading page.
 
I'm not trying to run asp on an html extension. I have just started to learn about .asp so I don't want to go there!
 
I do however have an index.asp file, as well as a default.asp file and lots of other .asp files. The index.asp file was part of the Forum download so I naturally assumed that is was the opening page of the Forum, which is why I thought that if I changed index.asp to NOindex.asp the site would return back to index.html but this doesn't seem to be the case and I'm stuck with this log-in box.
 
Incidentally, my host runs Windows and asp is enabled but I can choose v1.0 or v1.1 - does it matter which?
 
My host also provides a folder called "Databases" so that's where I have placed the database and I have re-directed both "common.asp" files to the new location.
 
So what have I done wrong?
 
Thanks and kind regards
 
Mike
 
PS. If it's any help the site is at www.mikehenson.org and the host is www.redstation.co.uk (Entry Level Hosting)

if you are seeing the pop up box then you need ot make sure the Iusr is set correct within IIS if this is hosted remotly then it most likly shouldn't have that.

have you set htaccess on the folder that will require a username and password.

is this a in house network/intranet?

when clicking your website link i cant find the forum, it maybe me not looking right

I had a couple of hours to spare and as my post had not even been moderated I thought I'd start again.
 
I started by clearing the site at my host's server, uploaded my html site and then uploaded the whole forum folder to the root directory so everything is in a default condition.
 
Now, when I run default.asp I get the log-in screen but entering "Administrator" and "letmein" returns the following:
 
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e09'
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
/forum/login_user.asp, line 171
 
I use Bullet Proof FTP and I've tried to change the attributes of the uploaded database but that doesn't seem to work.

that error means that either the folder holding the database and/or the database its self is set to read only.

make sure the folder holding the database is read/write and modify enabled

that should fix the problem

I have checked all the files and none are "Read Only"; is it likely that their status might change when uploaded?
