or else how do i go about it? since the above does not work


MDB databases are binary files, they are not client/server databases.
"Files" can only be accessed directly from within a file system.

Do you really want your web server to also act as a file server?
Not only does this raise tremendous security issues, it is also
dead slow over the internet. You must either switch to a "real"
database server or use a middleware layer.
