Brinkster Professional and Web Wiz Forums

I have had a Web Wiz Forum on a Brinkster Free site for a long while and it works great.  Because I needed space I opened a Brinkster Professional account.  I wanted to move the forum to the new account but the Database pathway changes.  They now have a database folder outside of the webroot that you have to insert all database's in and the forum goes inside the webroot. 

Instead of /username/db/whatever.mdb it is now

/username/database/whatever.mdb.  Has anyone else here run in to a problem similar to mine.  I have searched there database and talked to there support until I am blue.

Thanks

What's the problem? Just change the

WWF files and point to where the database is now.

I use their database folder and indicate the "Absolute Root Path:" found in the website settings.

Ex. :

'Physical path to database
strDbPathAndName = "c:\sites\XXXXX\XXXXXX\database\XXXXXX.mdb"

and put the other lines in the sections in comment.

Good luck.

I also use the Brinkster professional account and everything is working

Only change the question marks(?) for your own site path this is my actual code ...

 '---- Set the path and name of the database ----- 

 strDbPathAndName = "c:\sites\Single??\username\database\??????.mdb" 

 '-------------------------------------------------

you can also check if it points to the right type of database also in the common.asp files

'Database Type
strDatabaseType = "Access"
'strDatabaseType = "SQLServer"

If it doesn't work I would delete the forum and re-upload it. Maybe you have a corrupted file.
