I wish to use the fedex.mdb database as it is the only fedex database available from the AddON, my problem is my store(VPASP606) is running on MySQL, and evrytime it excute the fedex.asp, it was trying to find "countries" table from the MySQL database instead from the fedex.mdb.

I did change the setting in fedexconfig.asp as below
const xfedexdb="fedex.mdb"
const fedexdblocation="D:/inetpub/httpdocs/database/"
const xfedexdatabasetype="MSAccess"

The MSAccess is the DSN i configure at ODBC setting for MS Access Driver, and the connection to the fedex.mdb was tested successful for this DSN.

I also found that in Amin Menu, under Advanced, there is a field xotherdatabases, (as explained,it is used with xothertables. It lists the database names in which those tables can be found. If left empty, then the other tables are assumed to be in the same database as the products. ) So, i set xotherdatabases=fedex.mdb and xothertables=countries....But it still look for "countries" table in MySQL database which is of nor existance .....
very much grateful if someone can help or give some hint where to troubleshoot it further..

Thank you for so fast repond, i had tried, but still same, i also change the xotherdatabase to fedex instead of fedex.mdb, but also same... The error is "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

Table 'MySQL_Database.countries' doesn't exist

/fedex.asp, line 512

Note : I use a DSN to point my MySQL databse to a remote server rather than the localhost, as i set up the MySQL database in remote host. But the access database is in localhost, i did also set up a separate DSN for it, and tested connection OK.

Hi,

The below modification only applies for customers running on a windows based server:

Please change line 152 of fedexinterface.asp from:
shopopendatabase connection

to:
OpenOtherDatabase connection,xfedexdb,xfedexdblocation,xfedexdatabasetype

CheckDatabaseOpen connection

Hi!

I'm currently testing VP-ASP Deluxe on my local machine.
I have made the changes recommended by Radek in this topic:

const xfedexdb="fedex"
const xfedexdblocation="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vpasp\database"
const xfedexdatabasetype="drive"

and

change line 152 of fedexinterface.asp from:
shopopendatabase connection
to:
OpenOtherDatabase connection,xfedexdb,xfedexdblocation,xfedexdatabasetype
CheckDatabaseOpen connection


And now I'm getting the following error on the fedex.asp page:

Error Type:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0172 (0x80004005)
The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.
/vpasp/shop$db.asp, line 276

What should I do?
Thanks.

In IIS you need to set Parent Paths to not be disabled.

At the top level Default Web Site folder select properties by right clicking on the folder.

In the Home Directory tab click on Configuration.

In Options ensure Enable parent paths is ticked.

If this does not work you will need to post a ticket in the help desk so we can look into this further.

Thanks,
Cam
