Community Server

Hello, This is my first time with with setting up, access database, and i need some help..

Im using godaddy for my hosting account. I have windows package. IIS 6.0 ( IIS7 does not support access database i guess) I enabled access database. and set up a dns.

Okay so first i left the database path as (./data/NFL.mdb) I can sign in as admin using this. but i cant make a new account.

 So then i tryed (../access_db/nfl.mdb) And i moved the nfl.mdb file to the access_db folder. and this is what i get.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'd:\hosting\donlally\pool\access_db\NFL.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/pool/includes/common.asp, line 572

So Im kind of lost here please Help!!

 This was the response from footballpool@brainjar.com

It's a little hard to tell from godaddy's documentation, but try each of

these as the database path:
 
../../access_db/nfl.mdb
../access_db/nfl.mdb
./access_db/nfl.mdb
/access_db/nfl.mdb
d:\hosting\donlally\access_db\nfl.mdb

The last 2 worked for go daddy!!

 It was bound to be one of those :). For anyone on godaddy, this is what you want to use in your config.asp:

     'Location of the database.
    const DATABASE_FILE_PATH = "/access_db/nfl.mdb"

Just be sure to upload the NFL.mdb file to your access_db folder (rather than the pool/data folder).

 I'm wondering if this is still the case? I have moved the NFL.mdb file to access_db folder and have renamed the path to "/access_db/nfl.mdb" however I am still not able to create users.

Thanks

Hmmm.. they may have changed things. Check these pages

 Thanks, it was the path:D:\Hosting\822835\html\................ That finally worked!

I am also having a similar issue setting up the database on 1and1.com.

I have moved the database to /db/NFL.mdb. (db is the folder 1and1.com has setup for access databases)

I've tried all of these as the path but none work:

../../db/NFL.mdb
../db/NFL.mdb
./db/NFL.mdb
/db/NFL.mdb
E:\kunden\homepages\15\d379279440\www\db\NFL.mdb
