Database problems!

Guest

Help!... I've had my site up and running for a few weeks - both databases
were working fine. I was away for 3 days, and when i returned, both databases
have mysteriously stopped working. I don't beleive I had made any changes to
the web to incur this. Here is the message I get:

Database Results Error
The operation failed. If this continues, please contact your server
administrator.

I've set up a brand new database from scratch (using the database wizard) to
rectify the situation, but I still get the same message. The other database I
am using is a simple login/password using .asp (article 321439) - it too does
not work. I am using FP2002 - and a relative rookie in website design.

I saw your initial post - what you've given isn't enough to tell me anything
except you have serious problems. I'm assuming you have verified the
database(s)?? Sometimes, you have to completely remove the existing
connection, then add it as a new connection and verify.

If that doesn't do it, contact your hosting service immediately - they can
likely see what's up by reviewing their error logs.

I have verified the database... I've even se up a brand new database just the
test it.. It seems to go flawlessly on my computer in Frontpage... but once I
publish it.. I get the error. I have already contracted the hosting company -
they tell me to contact Microsoft. (!) They're no help.

Have you delete the database and connection on the live/remote server and then re-imported the
database and re-created the connection?

Also, make sure that the database has the correct permissions. It could be
that the server is no longer giving the IUSR account permissions to these
databases. Also, how are you connecting? Through a DSN? If so then make sure
someone hasn't changed the DSN on the server. If you can supply more details
of the connection method, or even the connectionstring used to connect to
the db (without any usernames and passwords when posted here) that could
help give us a hint.

Hope this helps,

Yes I've done that... I've even set up a brand new databse and attemtped to
make use of it... but still the same error.

I generally create/modify the web on my home computer, and then publish it
to the remote server. But I've tried both methods: editing then publishing,
and changing it on the live remote server. Still no luck.

Ask your host what changes or updates they have made to the server prior the time you notice this
problem. Make sure the database is in Access 2000 format.

Something new...

I was trying to create a new database while on the live server... and I
received this message after Inserting Database Results, and choosing database
"fpdb/test.mdb":

**************

Server error: Unable to retrieve the list of record sources from a database
using the connection string:

DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=fpdb/test.mdb.

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may
appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.
-------------------------------------------------------


Source: ADO
Number: -2146824584 (0x800a0e78)

*************

I'm not sure how I am connecting - everything else works fine... if I
publish any changes through FP2002, they do show up when browsing online. I
did not manually create the connection string... I simply use the Wizard in
FP..

I've been looking through these pages you kindly provided me... but none seem
to apply to my situation. These seem to be very specific, while my error
message does not seem to give much of a description as to what the problem
could be... I'll keep looking through these pages...

Thank you.. I will ask my host about that.. unfortunatly they take hours to
respond... I checked the databases, and both databases on my web are Access
2000 format

However this must be corrected by the web host.

Hi all... thank you for all your help... my problem seems to have been solved.

I was in contact with the host, and they were about to go in an troubleshoot
the site, so I had to enable global anonymous access on the site through
Front Page so they could get in. (I have anonymous access disabled while the
site is still under construction...) As soon as I enabled the anonymous
access, the databases started working again.

I don't know how or why, but maybe this will help someone else out there who
had this same problem.

Thanks again.

I am having the same error and this is what I have found:
( it;s kinda hard to follow so try and keep up)
Someone told me:
The FP2003 code has changed slightly. To see the true error, open the hidden
folder /_fpclass/ and edit the fpdbrgn1.inc file
At about line 19, change :
fp_DEBUG = False
to :
fp_DEBUG = True
Now I did this and you get a more detailed error message same one just more
info.
Sadly I can't tell you the message exactly right now as I need a password to
access the website and I don't know the password.(my boss does)
But I do know what it meant.
It mentioned that one or several fields were empty. There are required
feilds in your forms. The thing is I don't know which ones. We tried giving
every one of the fields a default entry. The database has to query each of
the required entries in order to update the page, otherwise it doesn't know
what to update. If it is left empty then there are too many records you could
be referencing and it doesnt know which one you want to update, but if you
have a default in one that isn't required then something goes wrong. I
haven't quite figured that out yet. So I am assuming if we can find the
fields that are required and have a default query for them and no others it
should work. We tried looking it up on the internet fand ran into another
problem we did not even know we had. There are certain words that you can
have in a database, but that FrontPage won't enter into the database. such as
date, year, and some others.Here is the site we went to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q109312/
I don't know where to go from here.?????? I hope this helps someone so they
can help me!?!?!?!?!?!?

OK
So did you rename your DB fields in Access to not use the reserved words as filed names
- you will find a more comprehensive list of reserved names at
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2080

And after that what specific error did you get

This has to be a hosting issue, have the host check the application root setting for the root web or
subweb if using one.

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing
a Service Pack or security update, please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services:

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.

-2146824584 has been a constant problem with my sites over the last several
years. The solution is to have the Hosting service review the IIS server
software installation. If you do a search of the Microsoft Knowledge Base
(KB) it is explained in detail. During installation the stuff (ok not exactly
tech jargon) needed is optional thus not normally installed because the
people that run the hosting services "Hate" FrontPage, don't understand it
and, in most cases, won't support you as a result of the formentioned
bigotries.
Usually this problem occurs when an upgrade of the IIS software is installed
or (I'm guessing here) when a server crashes and a re-install is necessary. I
use GoDaddy and I have had to complain on this deal seemingly every year and
until I get the issue escalated to their engineers nothing happens. The loss
of a $9.95 per month account doesn't carry much weight and Mocirsoft has no
investment in resolving this problem. It doesn't sell much new software don't
ya know.
Again this year the ability to use the FrontPage Database Results wizared
doesn't exist on my accounts at GoDaddy. I have already talked to them on
several different occassion and it doesn't appear that it is going to be
resolved as it has in the past. IN Closing Good luck on this problem...
