 Topic: Can't seem to get set up
Posted: 26 July 2006 at 4:38am |

Hello- I looked for an answer to what I am facing but am still a bit confused...I am a realtive hack, but am trying to set up the forum on a new website I am building, sremal.com. I uploaded the files easily, and added the info to the database_connection.asp page, but every time I try to go thru the set-up page, I get blocked with an error stating there is a problem with the form, specifically "Username - Enter a Username with tbale creation rights on the database." I have created only 2 users so far for this database, and both with rights to edit, but neither seems to work. I did add both (one at a time) to the database_connection.asp page.
Any ideas?

You haven't mentioned what database version you are trying to use?
Also, is this on your own server, or that of your web host?

You still have not said which database version you are using, Access, SQL Server, or mySQL?

Contact the SQL Server admin to get the correct settings from them, they may also need to set a user with DBO rights for you to be able to create the database on the SQL Server

I will do that--I actually contacted them before you, but you actually take your support requests as initiatives...I still have not heard back from them. Thanks for the prompt attention, I hope I can get it rectified, but feel good knowing I can come back if bad things continue. I appreciate you.

all they have to do is give you
IP/Domain alias to the server : Server address
Username
password
some hosts give seperate logins for editing and connecting/reading from the database.
sort of a edit database user and a Website username with editing disabled, i can see a good side ie, more secure but then, if someoine wants to get in they will.
