When I type in my address bar http://localhost/webwizforums/forum/admin/database/wwforum.mdb - http://localhost/webwizforums/forum/admin/database/wwforum.mdb or http://localhost/webwizforums/forum/admin/database/ - http://localhost/webwizforums/forum/admin/database/ it will automatically download or display the database file. Is there anyone try to do this? or in my case?
How can I solve this problem?
Although I put one index.asp page into this dataabse folder and solve the second case but the first still remained.
Please help?

please read the documentaton that comes with the software. it gives you details on preventing the viewing/download iof the database. you have to put the database above trhe root folder. another idea is to change the extention of the database from mdb to .asp and reflect this within the common.asp files this way it still can't be downloaded even if within the root folder as its exevuted like a .asp fil,e and not a mdb file. and if viewed it shows a jumblled mess not the database. the best ay is to place above the root folder. many paid hosts allow this , somes the folder is called private or secure or _database |
