have been trying to install blindly on my host for a few weeks now without being able to see any errors. So my host emailed me the server config files which i will attach, so i could work on it myself. I am using the recommend webconfig the only change to it is line #31 to enable error messages. I am receiving the following error message when i try to run install. The file is there I can see it, I tried re-downloading as well to no avail.

Server Error in '/' Application.

As it says, you're missing the urlrewriter.config file in your root. Copy it there from the archive.

Thank you

since the error was on line 19 i had assumed that the db.config and app.config from lines 17 and 18 already loaded.

http://www.connectionstrings.com/default.aspx?carrier=sqlserver but have not been able to get them to work.

My host says that I must connect to my MS SQL database via ADODB or asp.net not through ODBC or OLEDB, link to details below.

http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/asp_net/14.html

I have contacted my host again and was provided the following script which they say connects and shows that my database is working correctly, but the script says sqloledb which they said I can't use so I'm confused.

<%

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=******.net;UID=******;PWD=******;DATABASE=******"


'will iterate to display the records got from the database

'closes the connection

conn.close
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing

%>

So if someone can tell me how to modify that to work with the forum it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried several times and can not seem to get it right.

Thanks for the idea but it is still a no go I can't get either version to connect to the database and the the beta one gets stuck on a security issue.

I have the 1 and 1 shared win hosting with MS SQL database is that the same setup you are running?
