Installation problem

Hi,

I just uploaded the forum files to my website and tried to login with the Administrator account. However, it's not working.

The error is the infamous 'updateable query' error, but I'm very certain that the directory where I put the forum database has the proper access rights, because my regular website database "lives" there as well.

I'm positive (checked, double-checked and re-checked again) that I've changed the 2 common.asp files so that the DB path looks like:
strDbPathAndName = "d:\www\flevooware.nl\database\wwForum.mdb"
And I know for certain that I've uploaded them as well.

So what else could be wrong?

Regards, Marja

BTW. the forum is located here: http://www.flevooware.nl/dreamweaver/forum/

But that's in the installation guide and it is correct that it is needed if the database is not in the default forum location.

This database directory is outside the website root and is thus a safer place for a database.

Anyway, there are instructions on moving and/or renaming the WebWiz DB if needed ( http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/docs_access_move_ db.asp?mode=asp), and that's what I need to do.
It's just not working the way it should.

Thank you for your replies, but that's really not the only thing I need to do.
Please read the official instructions at http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/docs_access_move_ db.asp?mode=asp to see what I'm trying to do: placing the MDB file outside the website itself.

No, not to another website... just outside the website directory structure.

My domain is set up as follows:

• FTP-root
• database
• www

My website root is the 'www' directory, while the database is in the directory named 'database'.

This is really a very common domain setup.
