The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Moving to a 64bit system

Asked by Sabastion in Web Servers, Miscellaneous Web Development, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: 64bit, migration, ADODB.Connection, asp, classic asp

I'm really having a hard time with a recent server upgrade. For the longest time the company I worked for was using a 32 bit windows 2003 server. Recently the server has died on us so we had to get a new server. Unfortunately the only servers that they hosting company has now come with windows 2008 64bit.

I have been fighting with it for a little over a week trying to get our old websites to work.
Our websites are classic asp using ADODB.Connection. I have spent days trying to make it work correctly. I have gotten the server to give me useful errors but cant seem to get any of the solutions to work for me.

Can anyone give me a hand?  Here is a run down of what I have done so far.

- Accessed IIS and enabled detailed errors and posting of errors to the browser.
- Set up test website
- Created the test database
- Created a database login
- Created a user for the test database using the new login
- Set up a 32bit worker process and assigned it to the website
- Loaded test page

That's about as far as I get before I start getting errors. I do apologies for my lack of knowledge. I usually don't deal with this portion of a server. Unfortunately for me I'm now the only one that can do it. Any help would be appreciated. At this point I'm even considering paying to have it done if I cant find a company that can do it.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.

Also here is the page i am trying to use to test the server and the error that I'm getting.

ERROR
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
