    Posted: 01 January 2007 at 7:17pm
I am in need of some help.  I am changing to a new server, a win2003 server machine.  The peson who set up the last machine is no longer with me.  I downloaded the 8.03, liked it, had this other person install it, and registered it.  Now, going to a new machine, I don't know what he did and I'm trying to do it by myself.  There is no data on the other machine we need so I downloaded the new 8.05 and was going to install it on the new server.  I have downloaded SQL Express and installed it.  That seems to be working just fine, although I think that is where most of my problems begin.  I changed the database_connection.asp script to:
 
Server = our IP of the server
Username = what the other person used  (I remember him saying that was a generic name)
Password =  (same rationale)
Database = meddir_forum
 
When trying to run the msSQL_server_setup.asp script, all I get is the text of the script in my browser.  When I hit refresh, I get a page with a 3 field form to fill in with the last field being DBO.  I put in the user name and password fields and hit enter but get an error message. 
 
How do I get my tables setup so I can configure the forum.
 
Thanks

I didn't think I had given enough data to hurt myself,  but just in case I am taking your advice.

Did you install Active Server Pages (ASP) support on that machine?
How do you browse the database setup file? Did you just click on the file or did you try a real domain like http://localhost, or http://yourIP, or www.yourdomain.com?

I'm using IE7 and I opened the browser, went to ->file ->open, and browsed to my file.  I clicked on it and it loaded it into my browser.  I expected it to run as any asp script would, but instead, I just got the text of the asp file.  When I hit refresh, I was then presented with the asp file as I described in my original post.  Yes asp, and asp.net 2.0 are installed and working fine because I have a bunch of asp forms that submit and I am also using persists aspemail and it is working fine on all of my pages where I use it.
Do I need to do something like http://localhost/path/database setup file?

Yup... that\s the probelm.... because when you browse the file from File >> Open >> Browse, it doesn't go through the ASP engine and therefore the ASP code of that file doesn't get excuted. whereas when you browse it with a valid url like http://etc.. it goes through the ASP engine in which the code of the file gets excuted.

OK, now I think it is running the script because I get an error message back that says the script will not connect to the database, check userid, password, etc.  I think I'm so close but it sounds like I have a user or permissions issue.   Would someone famaliar with sqlexpress give me some tips on how to setup my config, so I can run the database script and get my tables configured?  Thanks,

Okay... I'm getting the same thing except when I navigate to the file http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/msSQL_server_setup.asp I'm getting an HTTP 500 error. Any suggestions?
 
I'm running ASP.Net 1.1. Should it be 2.0?
 
Thanks so much.
