Hi all,
I've been running webwiz on my own server at home for our website and it has worked really well. . .
I have recently moved our website and the forum to proper hosting, at lunarpages. I got an ASP enabled account so we could continue to use the forum. I use an access database.
I uploaded all the forum files to the new host, but now get an error when trying to access the forum. The error is:
 

Technical Information (for support personnel)

  • Error Type:
    ADODB.Connection.1 (0x80004005)
    SQLState: IM002 Native Error Code: 0 [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
    common.asp, line 257

  • Browser Type:
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

  • Page:
    GET /forum/default.asp

  • Time:
    Wednesday, May 10, 2006, 3:18:07 PM

  • More information:
    Sun ONE Active Server Pages Support

The files are exactly the same as they were on my server 2003/iis 6 server here at home.

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!
Thanks and regards,
Ryan Taylor.

Web Wiz Forums requires a Windows web server running IIS with ASP enabled.

Looking at the error looks like you are on a Linux server running Sun's chillisoft ASP, which is not supported.

The reason for this is that ASP is a Microsoft technology and although chillisoft do make software to run ASP on other servers it doesn't fully support ASP so more complex ASP software like Web Wiz Forums can not run on it.

You will need to look for hosting on a Windows web server to run Web Wiz Forums, and full list of requirements for running the various different versions of Web Wiz Forums can be found by clicking the 'forum requirments' link in the left hand menu.
