Web Wiz Forums is not made to use a DSN, you need to use the faster DSN-less connection to the database.

The forum is setup already for a DSN-less connection.
The only thing you may need to do if you have to have the database in a
different folder to the default folder is to change the path to the
database in both the common.asp files.
DSN-less connections don't require a DSN setup on the server so are
simpler to setup and reduce calls to the registry that are required
for a DSN connection.

Hello,
I have already done this by changing DB path, but it gives following error:
"
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'd:\websites\sbkhan.net\wwwroot\webwiz\forum\data\wwForum.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/webwiz/forum/common.asp, line 260 "
I have hosted this forum on www.sbkhan.net/webwiz/forum/default.asp, you can check the error also on above link.
Please help and advice.
Thanks.

The error means the path to the database is incorrect.
But as the above link works, I guess you have found this out yourself.

Please read the documentation that comes with the application / download. as this question is answered there.
it is because more than lickly the folder that holds the database doesn't have read, write and modiy permssions placed on it.
