For higher security it is highly recommeneded that you at least rename the forum database and/or if possible move the location of the database to
a folder above the root directory of your web site, good web hosts will have a directory set up for this called private.
- Locate the file wwForum.mdb forund in the database directory in the admin directory (this is the forums access database).
- Rename and/or move the location of this file on your web space.
- Edit the two files called common.asp with a text editor like notepad. One common.asp file is with the main files and the other should be in a directory called admin.
- In these two files you will find the following line of code: -
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("admin/database/wwForum.mdb")
- Change the part marked in blue (admin/database/), to the new path to the database relative to the common.asp file you are editing, if you are editing the common.asp file from
the admin section you won't have, admin/database/ written in front of the database name, don't worry, just enter the path to the database infront of the database name shown above
in red.
- Change the part marked in red (wwForum.mdb), to the new name of the Forum's Access database.
- Save the amended files.
