6. If you are using an Access database, also request that the host allow the Everyone<br />

and IUSR accounts to have Modify or Change permission on the fpdb folder and the<br />

files that it contains.<br />

7. If you are using a SQL Server database you will have to create the database by<br />

upsizing a <strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> Access database. Please refer to the upsizing guide in the<br />

Knowledge Base on www.<strong>StoreFront</strong>.net.<br />

This will complete the creation and minimal configuration of the remote web. You can test the<br />

site’s basic functionality by opening a browser and entering the URL of your web in the<br />

address window, followed by /search.asp; i.e. http://www.yourweb.com/search.asp. If<br />

search.asp loads correctly, then you have an active database connection in your site. Also<br />

attempt to connect to the remote database using one of the <strong>StoreFront</strong> development tools. If<br />

you connect successfully, this indicates that the MSADC Service and System DSN are<br />

functioning correctly.<br />

CREATING A DATABASE CONNECTION<br />

The ASP pages in your web must be able to communicate with your database in order for<br />

<strong>StoreFront</strong> to function properly. Follow the steps below to create a database connection in<br />

your web.<br />

1. Open your web in FrontPage. You can do this by clicking on File, then Open Web.<br />

In the Folder Name field, enter the URL to your web site on the live server or local<br />

machine.<br />
