SYMPTOMS
When browsing an ASP page, the following error may occur:
OLE DB Provider error for ODBC Drivers error 80004005
[Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source Name not found and no default driver specified.
CAUSE
The Global.asa file is not located in the root directory of the
application.
WORKAROUND
To determine if a directory is designated as an application root and
verify that it also contains the Global.asa file, perform the following
steps:
- In the Internet Service Manager (ISM), verify that the node is configured as an application.
To do this, verify that the node displays the package icon in the ISM. To further verify, view the property sheet for that node. On the Virtual Directory tab, under Application Settings, an active name should be listed for the application. If the name is "Default Application" and it appears dimmed, the node is NOT an application.
- Verify that the Global.asa file is located in the root directory of the application.
To determine the root directory of the application, view the property sheet for the application. Check the Local Path setting on the Virtual Directory tab.
