How do I install the script

Edit row 4 and 6 in the file "settings.asp" to point to your database and image directory.

Run default.asp - user and password = admin
For security reasons you should add you as a new user and delete admin or edit the admin profile.

How do I find the path to the database and image directory

Run path.asp to get the virtual path to path.asp

Example:

If you get:
/wwwroot/news/

Change the database path to
\wwwroot\news\db\db.mdb

and the image path to
/wwwroot/news/images/
