I recently had to change servers. I uploaded the files to the new server. I checked the DB and did some test emails. Everything seems ok. But I went to log into the backend admin and if I enter a wrong password I get the correct error message.
But when I type everything correctly the shopadmin1.asp page is just blank. It shows the background color but no text. So I am logged in but just can't see anything but the purple background color.
When I view source I see this:
<font face="Arial" size=2>
<p>ADODB.Connection</font> <font face="Arial" size=2>error '800a0e78'</font>
<p>
<font face="Arial" size=2>Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.</font>
<p>
<font face="Arial" size=2>/shop$db.asp</font><font face="Arial" size=2>, line 846</font>
And line 846 displays this:
Set objRec = con.Execute(SQL)
Please help as I need to get into this backend ASAP, Thank you, Preston. |

Do you perhaps have a broken link to a css file that controls the display of that page? Just a thought.
View the source of the shopadmin1.asp when it loads in your browser and see if there is anything indicative of what might be going on.

The database connection that is being used is not open. Can you post 10-15 lines of code from both before and after line 846 in shop$db.asp?

| Make sure your "xshopid" in shop$config is unique. Don't use the default as duplicate session variables on the same server causes blank pages and many other anomolies. |

OK, what I've determined is that VPASP is trying to look for an SQL database for some reason. In my shop$db.asp file I have database blank:
const xdatabasetype=""
This should look for an Access database, which is what I have, but it's looking for SQL.
Here is the code from line 835 to line 867, it's the same file you have I didn't change anything:
' all admin now must use standard open
Sub OpenDB (ByRef con, d)
ShopOpenDatabase con
End Sub
%>
<%
'--------
Function GetAccess(user, con)
dim objRec
sql = "select * from tbluser where fldusername = '" & user & "'"
Set objRec = con.Execute(SQL)
if not objrec.eof then
getaccess = objrec("fldaccess")
else
getaccess=""
end if
if getaccess = "" then
if lcase(getsess("Admintype")) = "supplier" then
sql = "select * from tbluser where fldusername = 'supplier'"
Set objRec = con.Execute(SQL)
if not objrec.eof then
getaccess = objrec("fldaccess")
else
getaccess=""
end if
end if
end if
objRec.Close
set objrec=nothing
End Function
--
Should i convert to an sql database or does anyone know how I can fix this? the only variable is that I switched hosting companies. I asked them about it but they said that the db connection is there and it should be working, that the problem is in the code and they don't look into the code.
Please Help!!! Thanks. |

you shouldn't be using the OpenDB function directly(eg you'd use ShopOpenDatabase or ShopOpenDatabaseP instead, or EditOpenDatabase for a specific table etc), there must be some custom-coded stuff in your code somewhere that hasn't been done right, or the config settings are wrong. You shouldn't need to upgrade to sqlserver or mysql; it should all work fine in access.

The only thing I changed was the hosting company. I don't really know how to write code so there is no custom code and I'm not sure what you mean by:
(eg you'd use ShopOpenDatabase or ShopOpenDatabaseP instead, or EditOpenDatabase for a specific table etc),
How do I change to use these?

try changing your xshopid in the shop$config.asp file; it might be that your session/cookie is still referencing the old site's full path for the access database.
eg if your xshopid is:
mysite650
then change it to:
mysite650_001
that'll force it to pick up any change to the location

I tried that already. Why is it looking for sql and not finding my access database?
Thanks |

I've noticed that if you FTP the database down to a local system and then re-upload it that you get this error, but if I download the DB by direct link and then FTP upload it, it works ok.
Does anyone know why though? |

| Yeah I just uploaded the database file from the server instead of through dreamweaver and it works. Don't know why but it's probably the hosting company because I've never had this issue with other hosts. |

| OK, when I upload this it loads in but when I change the permissions then I get the errors. If I don't change the permissions then I can see the shopadmin but cannot write to the db to change anything. What's going on with this. I also have other sites hosted with this and at this host with no problems. This is really pissing me off!!! |

| So I called the hosting company and told them that I can't set the write permission. I asked if they could try to set it on their end. Viola!. It worked. Not sure why it's not working on my end. But that did the trick. Ask your hosting company to set the write (or all) permissions on their end for your database. |
