Web Site Outage

Some of you have noticed that my web site has been down for that last couple weeks. The problem arose when I had my ISP enable ASP.NET 2.0 on my domain. As a result of Microsoft only allowing SQL Server connections by default while running in medium trust mode, MySQL and ODBC connections did not work. Although it took a couple of weeks, my ISP finally enabled ODBC connections from ASP.NET. Although I’d prefer to use the .NET provider, I’m pleased that they now support a working method to connect to MySQL from ASP.NET.

Currently, I restored my web site to it’s previous working order. Eventually, I plan to implement some of the new ASP.NET 2.0 features. For now, I’m glad to have my site back.
