Can’t get to html site

What you need to do is get on to your web host and ask them to create write permissions on the folder containing your access database.

If you read the following it should hopefully help you:-

http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/docs_access_move_db.asp

What you need to do is move up a directory, for which you use:-

../

For example if you have the forum in a folder called 'forum' under the root of you web site 'www/forum' for the main common.asp file you would use:-

../../databases/wwforum.mdb

And for the admin common.asp, just add an extra '../' to move up an adfditional directory:-

../../../databases/wwforum.mdb

please turn off http friendly error messages within Internet explorer advanced options, if you need more details on how to do so please visit

you may find your host doesn't allow that sort of pathing, you may have to use the physical; path, ie E:\domains\user\databases\www_forum.mdb for example.


you can find the physical path by contacting your host.

../../databases/wwforum.mdb and ../../../databases/wwforum.mdb should be correct so i would suggest the physical option.

This means the path you have entered is incorrect.

Check that the path to the database is correct.

Ask your host what the path should be, it maybe simpler to use the physical server path in your case, if so your host should be able to give you the physical server path to your database.

The install instructions I linked to in the previous post will tell you how to use the physical path to the database.
