Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while writing to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_loginUser()_update_USR_Code
File Name:- functions_login.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft JET Database Engine
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.


That's the error message I'm getting when I try to login in to a clean install.  I'm hosted at GoDaddy's "economy" level shared server.  In the hosting control panel, I don't see where to set file or folder permissions for pre-existing folders and files.  I have to create the directories it seems..  Am I on the write track?  Help help.  I'm a noob!

This is a permissions issue.

The database needs to be placed in a folder that has read, write, and modify permissions.

You will either need to see if GoDaddy have a folder setup for this, or ask them to change the permissions for you.

My permission choices are

read
web
browse
write
set root
reset

I want the database secture, right?  So I'm assuming I'll only allow the read and write persmissions, is that correct?

You need read, write, and modify permissions.

I don't know how GoDaddy allow you to set permissions so you will need to contact their support about how to set permissions on their system.

I would imagine it is a common issue when using Access databases at GoDaddy, so they probably have an online FAQ on this.
