I would contact your server admin then as it sounds like a server issue.

Also make sure that your site is running on a Windows, with Microsofts IIS web server, if not you can not run this software.

Sorry, just wanted to tell those who started the thread that they're not the only one with the problem, they may not have seen the other posts. No need to yell...

I'm eager to get my forum up and running and I think your installation guide lacks some information regarding a Windows 2003 setup. Seems that Web Wiz can't run on IIS6 out of the box.

That is incorrect as it can run on windows 2003 out of the box as it does on my test machine.

The biggest problem when writing software of this kind is making it compatible with running on every type of server with every type of set-up and in every language.

This is almost impossible when witting ASP and the best that can ever be archived is about 98%, there will always be those that will have a server set-up that won't run the software.

On my win2k3 test machine it runs straight from the box without the need to dig inside the IIS setup so I am usure where you will find the part to enable session veriables.

But if you open Internet Information Services from the control panel and have a dig around in the settings, I'm sure it will be in there somewhere.

Also things like Norton, firewalls, virus software, can course certain parts of IIS not to function.
