Can anybody help me please? I have used my Forum without problems for a long time, but suddenly nobody (included myself) cannot open the forum, as we get the following error in internet explorer, when trying to open the forum:

 Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'
An exception occurred: 'Close'
/wiz_forum/forum/common.asp, line 260

And in line 260 I find the following html script:
adoCon.Open

(By the way in line 256, 257 og 259 the script says:
'Set the connection string to the database
adoCon.connectionstring = strCon
'Set an active connection to the Connection object

I have not changed the common.asp file since august month and everything have worked fine until yesterday!

Help please!

Yours
Jil

Hi Mart

I know, but I was in doubt where to put it, that's why :)

Sorry, but can you or anyone help me, please?

The error indicates you are running out of data base connections. Most likely connection are being left open too long or are not closing and releasing the object properly.

Could be a mod, or something you done sometime ago that only shows up after some number of concurrent db connections. Once it occurs, you'd have to restart the server to clear it.

The forum closes all connections immediately after use. The connection pool is at a server level, so the problem could be in other code on your site - or on someone elses site - but shows up when the forum tries to open a connection.

Your web host should be able to tell you if the connections are being retained by your site or someone elses.

Hi dpyers and thanks :)

Could this have happened if I by mistake had been logged on as administrator and not logged regular out of the forum again?

Do you think I should ask the web host to check up connections or to try to restart their server? (I don't think they will do that :)

And by the way, I have an ordinary web-site running on the web-host's server, and this is functioning without problems!

Are there any special asp files I shoul try to upload again? I've already tried to upload the common.asp file again, but it didn't help!

Try uploading the files again as mart said.
If the problem happens again, contact your host about it to check acess connections.

There's a thread around here about a problem with access on Win 2003 servers that might be related to this. I forget the details about it, but think It may have been related to unavailable connections. To fix it requires a patch from microsoft.

Try re-uploading your files, but you should have made a new thread in the support forum.
