I have installed the forum and moved the database into a private directory and upfated both common.asp files, the forum looks great but when I go to the admin page, after inputting my admin username and pasword I get an error message saying that the page cannot be displayed, i have kept the original structure and all the files on the server.

HTTP 500 - Internal server error

Any ideas?

turned off friendly errors...this error appears:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'

Invalid Path

/forum/admin/common.asp, line 104

The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.

The path to your database is wrong.

If you are using a physical path to the db then you need to remove the mapPath method.
