Hi,

I purchased ASP Protect, extracted everything and everything was going okay till I got to the step on opening the "get_me_in.asp" file.  When I navigate to the page I get this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xb84 Thread 0xd54 DBC 0x18ef4f4 Jet'.

/aspprotect/scripts/populate_config_variables_inc.asp, line 11

I verified that the IUSR, ASPNET & IWAM all have R, W, M, E, D rights.

I am using ASP Protect 8, with the access database it came with on Windows 2003.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks,

Jay

Hi,

Thank you for the fast response.  I tried the Test_physical_path.asp and it shows:

That path does not exist on the server and is not correct.

The file specified could not be found.

It is also remotely possible that read permissions are not set for the anonymous webserver account where that file resides. However, That is unlikely because read permissions are there by default.

The database is right in the program files in this path:

C:\Program Files\Serena\Collage\aspprotect\data\database\ASPProtect_acc ess2002.mdb

I'll PM you the path that the "setup_info.asp" gave me.

Thanks,

Jay

C:\Program Files\Serena\Collage\aspprotect\data\database\ASPProtect_acc ess2002.mdb

doesn't seem right to me... a web should never never be located there..


use the path the setup page told you to use.. test that path in the "test_physical_path.asp" file

then if it reports the path is valid make sure the folder the .mdb file is in there has permissions..

I have no idea why you put a copy of of the databse inside the program files directory structure but I know whatever your doing there is out of the norm..

The asp code wants the path to the mdb file on the server.. not anywhere else..

Hi,

It's a content management system.  In IIS there is a website for it and it points to the root folder of where the database is.

I switched the "test_physical_path.asp" file to the path the setup file gave me and I get the same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jay

I got it figured out.  The site is accessible from the outside but since it's a CMS system it has to be setup on a physical path in order to run.

The issue was the file I was changing was not the actual file I was hitting on the website.  Meaning the folder that I had aspprotect in wasn't the corect directory where the virtual server was being pointed to. Our DB guru got back and I asked him and he was able to find that the directories were wrong.

It's all better now.

Thank you though for all your help.
