I have performed a search of Installation problems but not found an answer.  I am in a shared hosting environment at WebHost4Life, using MSDE 2000 (if I remember correctly). 

 

I modified the SQL_server_setup.asp file to include my connection string per the WWF instrustions.  In reading the previous posts from my search, I read the install script does not read this file.

I included the username and password per the instrucitons in the installation screens but get the following errors:

Error Creating the Table tblCategory (it may already exsist)

Error Creating the Table tblForum (it may already exsist)

AND SO ON AND SO ON FOR EACH TABLE CREATION ATTEMPT.

My first thought is that the installation script does not allow me to select the database for table creation.

But, being new to ASP, that may not be it.  I am accustomed to working with PHP and MySQL.

I have the WWF files in the public folder, in a subfolder "forums".  Those files are served from server177.WebHost4Life.com

The database I was attempting to use is served from server 66.102.133.65

The database name is "chasin"

UserID is "xxxxxx"

Password is "xxxxx"

Could someone provide some basic guidance here?

Thanking you in advance for your assistance, I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Joel
