[cobalt-users] RAQ4 ASP DSN Help Please!



I am trying to set up a simple web based database, on a recently aquired
RAQ4 with Chilisoft. I have exported my Access db to dBase 5 format. I am
new to Linux etc and would appreciate any help on the following.

Where on the server should I put the database file, I want to ensure that it
cannot be directly access by the public, what permissions etc need to be
set.

In trying to set up a DSN I am getting the following error when I test it :-

HTTP Error 506
506 ASP Not Available

The ASP service is unavailable for this host. Please check the URL to ensure
that the path is correct.

ASP is enabled, and I am able to run simple ASP scripts on the site with no
problems. In setting up the DSN in the control panel there is a field
labelled 'Database' - is this for the filename, or the path of the bdf file,
or what?

I was delighted when I found an ASP server for Linux, but am finding the
process of getting it working very frustrating, the documentation is
somewhat complex for someone new to Linux. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
