I am trying to install Webwiz Forums and I'm running into trouble...

I get to the point of configuring the database settings (I'm using SQL 2000) and testing the connection (which is successfull).

However when I cleck 'Next', I'm taken back to setup.asp

When I check the database, no tables have been created.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This can happen if you do not have write, write, and modify permissions enabled on the forums 'database' directory so that it can write the settings to the configuration files.

Well... The permissions on the directory were ok. But in IIS I had to set the virtual directory permissions to read/write.

Thanks
