Support Question 1:

I Installed the In/Out Board and tried to access it at http://localhost/InAndOut and I'm getting the following error.

Error Type: Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80004005) You do not have the necessary permissions to use the 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\InAndOut\InAndOut.mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you. /InAndOut/<filename>, line 118 Page: GET /InAndOut/<filename>

or a similar error like "The website cannot display this page".
Most time this error is the result of installing the In and Out Board to a networked folder.

Solution:

This error can occur if you install to a directory other than the default location (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\InAndOut).

Give the IUSER_ServerName internet guest account permission to access the database. 

How do I do this?

Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder.
Right-Click on the InAndOut folder (or the folder you installed to) and select Properties.
Select the Sharing tab and Click "Share this folder".

In the Edit Alias popup, Check the Read and Write boxes.
Click OK to close the windows.

Support Question 2:

When I go to http://localhost/InAndOut the InAndOut Board doesn't come up.

Solution:

This error can occur if you do not have Windows IIS Web Server (or another Web Server) installed on your computer.

How do I install it?
To install Windows IIS Web Server (it comes with Windows):

1. Access Add/Remove Programs in your control panel.
2. In the Left column, select Windows Components
3. When the Windows Component is displayed, select Internet Information Services (IIS)
   
   
   
    
4. Select Next, then OK. You will not be asked to Restart.
   
    

Now you can access your In-Out Board at http://localhost/InAndOut or the folder you installed to.

Users on your network can access it in several ways.

1. If you installed the BC In-Out Board to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\InOut\, the BC In/Out Board would be accessible locally (from your computer) at: http://localhost/InOut
    
2. You or Your users by replacing localhost with the web server's network IP address. eg: http://168.192.0.1/InOut
    
3. Your users can use your domain and the BC In Out Board subfolder you installed to, on your intranet. eg: http://www.OurIntranet.com/InOut
    
4. You or Your users by using your computer's network name.
   eg: http://FrankSmith/InOut
    
5. Your network administrators can also create secure access such as a sub-domain for you and your users.
   eg: https://InOut.OurCorp.com/

 

Support Question 3:

I installed the In/Out Board on our network server and when I try to access it, the server is looking for a network password before I can view the Login page.

Solution:

A) This may be an permission error (for IUser_MachineName).

• Click Start>control panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services
• Expand the left tree, right-click your WebSite>Properties
• Click on Directory Security, then in "Anonymous access and authentication control" click on Edit
• Enable Anonymous access>browse> enter the credentials of the admin (like Administrator) (check names), and Click OK
• Apply the settings.

   If you are using Firefox, it may be a Firefox config settings issue;

• Open up Firefox and type in about:config as the url
• In the Filter Type in ntlm
• Double click "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", type in the address, and press enter

B) This may also be a Windows firewall issue if you can't access it via the public Internet (www).
