Hi, I just uploaded this program to my webserver and am incountering a few problems, that I could use some help on.

First, when I try to login to the database to do anything I get an error referring me back to the common file. I believe this is telling me that I need to change the path the program takes to see the database but I am not sure how or where to change it in the code in the common page.

Second, I pulled up the forum on my site in IE6.0 then closed program to do something else. When I went back I cannot see if in IE6.0 I get a 404 page, yet I can view it in opera and mozilla.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to figure this out for hours now and am frustrated!

Thank You,

Lisa

Did you try reuploading files ?
Is it running on IIS ?

I reuploaded and still cannot get it to work.

How do I know if it is running on IIS? We use Dell for our webserver.

ask someone if the server is running windows nt 4, windows 2000 or windows 2003 server..

it would also be easier to help if you paste your errors here.. at least that with the common file..

Through messing around think I uncovered some additional needed info. I think that it can see the database but when I tried to add a forum I got the error that the database was read only. How do I change that? I use CuteFTP to down and up load files. Can I do it through them?

Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

Well, if it had been a linux websvr, u could have run the command CHMOD and made it write. bcuz the database folders need 2 be read n write or else it wont work.
However, since its windows webhost, CHMOD WONT WORK HERE.
Ask your host, to make that admin/database folder read and write. usually they give u a special folder path only for database so that u can keep it in read n write mode. ask them if they have that.
if they have it, u can move the forum/admin/database/wwforum.mdb there but that only wont do. u need 2 change the path in the asp files 2. the files which have to be changed are explained in detail in the help file.

hope this helps....
