1.3. My ASP pages are now asking for a username and password when someone visits them. I didn't set this, what's going on?

When all ASP pages on a domain prompt for a username and password and the you know that they shouldn’t, this is usually because of problems with
permissions on your directory structure.  When you encounter a problem like this, you need to contact Technical Support right away and ask them to reset all the permissions on your domain.

1.6. How do I secure my web.config file?

Setup a ".htaccess" file in your public directory to just redirect requests to Web.config to your regular webpage. Use the line:  Redirect /Web.config http://www.domain.com
Anybody using ASP.NET and Web.config files should have this file in place to ensure the security of the data in their Web.config.

1.7. How do I create a DSN for my database connection using ASP/ASP.NET or ColdFusion/ColdFusion MX?

DSN Requirements:
1) Domain Name
2) DSN Prefix (your DSN will be called by prefix_domain_ext)
3) Database type (MS Access, MySQL, MS SQL)
4) Language you are using to connect to the database (ASP, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion, Cold Fusion MX)
5) Database name (cAsE sEnSiTiVe)
Note: If this is an MS Access .mdb file, you MUST create a databases directory OUTSIDE of the public directory and place your .mdb file there. If this is a MySQL Database, please first create it through Database Manager inside your WebsiteOS and then include the full name of the database.
** You MUST activate Windows Services before a DSN can be created for ASP, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion, or Cold Fusion MX.
Please contact our Technical Support Team with the above information & a DSN will be created for you.
