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. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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 http://www.sbkhan.net/webwiz/forum/default.asp - www.sbkhan.net/webwiz/forum/default.asp ,you can check the error also on above link.
Please help and advice.
Thanks. ------------- With Kind Regards, Shan Khan |

The error means the path to the database is incorrect. But as the above link works, I guess you have found this out yourself. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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. |
