    Posted: 21 October 2003 at 1:03pm

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with the Mailing List ASP.

I am new to the ASP world and I wanted to try the Mailing List ASP script to see how it ran and it's functions.

I unzipped the file and copied all contents to a folder on my server wwwroot named Mail. I then moved the database part to the folder called database on the server.

I can login into the admin.htm part via the web. But how do I change the script to point to the database which is located somewhere other than the mailing_list directory?

I was reading how to change the script via the readme.txt But I will admit I am still a newbie to all this.

I got stuck here

'Create database connection

'Initialise the strAccessDB variable with the name and the path to the Access Database
strAccessDB = "mailing_list.mdb"

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Chris

there would be a line that has Sever.MapPath("your path here")

change the path to the correct path to your db folder

There is where I am little confused?

What is the path?

Is it //db or ..db

When I FTP in I see several folders.

When I 1st login I see the url.com folder when open that folder I see 4 folders. DB, log, www, special. Now if I click on the www folder I see the site and the folder I named mail which I moved all the mailing_list files too.

Trying to figure out what that path would be.

Your db directory is outside of your root web (www) space which is a good thing as no one can download it on you. For the path, you'll use a physical path such as c:/whatever/myhost/myaccounf/db/...

Your host can give you the path to the directory that contains www, db, log, etc.


Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
