ASP Server.CreateObject Error

[smurfer]

I am making a copy of a web site we have running on a new test machine, I have created the site identical to the original with the only changes being the database name, and the machine name (as it is on a new machine). Everything else is identical. However when I try to view the page I am receiving the following error related to the creation of the database connection:

"Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/global.asa, line 250 Invalid ProgID..."

line 250 of my code looks like this...

set objDB = Server.CreateObject("OEPDB.DB&quot

I have researched this error and seen many postings on it, but no obvious resolutions, could anyone advise what could be wrong?

Thanks,
SM

SM,

There are a couple of things you can check.
1. Did you create a system DSN for the connection? Normally with a global asa file it requires a ODBC defined system DSN.
2. Is there an access control list applied on the new server. ASP connecting to backend databases require additional NTFS permissions to run properly. In particular the C:\winnt\temp requires everyone r,x,w,l and modify. View the following for required ACL permissions to run a web server.

Hope this helps.
