Anyone with Godaddy hosting?

 

Ok so i login to my control panel add MS Access support to my website which creates a secured folder called access_db. I load the mfb in that directory and edit the common.asp file to point to "../../access_db/wwDatabase.mdb"

 

Now default.asp wont even launch...

 

Okay well i did have to create a DSN with a username and password for this database. So I change the line to "DSN=access_wwDatabase.dsn","username","password"

 

Stil no dice. Im completely lost on how to get this workin with godaddy hosting. Any help?

 

If your forum is in a sub-directory directly under your go-daddy.com root directory, then that common.asp should look like this:

"../access_db/wwforum.mdb"

and the common.asp in the forum\admin directory should look like this:

"../../access_db/wwforum.mdb"

In other words, you need a ../ for each directory deep that your common.asp files are.

 

The other option would be to use a hard coded path in both files:

"d:\hosting\yourgodaddyusername\access_db\wwforum.mdb"

 

I used a file called "whereami.asp" from when I was running a snitz forum to figure out the path (yours may be different). Whereami.asp won't work in your access_db directory because of the permissions, but you can put it in your godaddy.com root directory and find out where it is located and just add the access_db directory to it. Just search on google for whereami.asp if you decide to go that route.
