XPost: Problem with IIS 7 and DB's

Ok, I wrote test (ASP, ASP.Net & PHP) all of them hitting the same database.

This is the first time I try to connect to a DB under Vista/II7 and it seems
that I'm missing setting some type of security but don't know what.

When test the ODBC connection everything works fine, when executed from
inside ASP, I get this error:

Unable to establish connection to database.
Error information:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Unable to start database
server
Other possible cause of this problem:
The database cannot be opened, most likely due to incorrect connection
settings or insufficient security set on your database folder or file.
For more details please refer tohttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q306518

The link does not help me. I have seem many reference to IIS 7 having lots
of problems connecting with DB's (BTW, I'm using Sybase ASA 9.x)

Any help will be appreciated.

IIS does not connect with databases. It runs applications that connect
with databases.

I suspect you are seeing a variant of this:

It really illustrates a hidden weakness within the database being
used.
