IIS7 still supports classic ASP, but a few changes in the execution model have changed the groundwork a bit for using ASP with an MS Access mdb database.
First, as with IIS6 as well, we recommend you do NOT store your MS Access mdb file in the (ftproot)/httpdocs folder (or below). It should instead be placed in the (ftproot)/private folder. This is a security measure.
Next, we need to make a permissions change for you on the server side you can't make through the control panel. So, please open a support request, reference this KB article, and indicate that you need the necessary permissions changes for ASP accessing an MS Access MDB file, and confirm the location and name of the file in question. Here's a sample submission:
As noted in KB article 1568, I'm using classic ASP on your IIS7 based hosting, and need the necessary permissions changes to support accessing an MS Access mdb file, located at: (ftproot)/private/mydatabasefile.mdb |
