How do I check the connection settings? Which file do I need to modify?


Ok in the database_conection.asp folder I've typed in my info:

strSQLServerName = "x.x.x.x.x"
strSQLDBUserName = "Name_Name"
strSQLDBPassword = "xxxxx"
strSQLDBName = "Name_Name"

I was told set up was complete so I went to the url/forum and I get this message

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while connecting to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_SQLServer_db_connection
File Name:- common.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Invalid connection string attribute

all of my information is correct and my server is running MySQL 4.1

I see no reason why this shouldn't be working does anyone know?

Got it--and the forum was great in seconds. Will have great fun looking at this--appreciate your fast reponses (I received multiple posts here within hours to my web hosts single email that took days), and your advice to get me moving. It must be very well put together if I can't break it, because I do have the touch.  :)]]> Sat, 29 Jul 2006 04:51:00 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-seem-to-get-set-up_topic20820_post111715.html#111715 <![CDATA[Can't seem to get set up : means your connectiopn settings...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-seem-to-get-set-up_topic20820_post111696.html#111696 Author: dj air

It was a problem on their end, which once fixed, was no longer an issue--it set up immediately. However, when I tried to get in then, I got this error:
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while connecting to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Thoughts?

This all depends on how your web host has their SQL server login setup for you.

The only people who can tell you this info is your web host.

I often find phoning web hosts gets you a faster response than trying to email them.

So when I get to this form, I use the user with the writing permissions, correct? What about the last field? Do I leave that as-is (as DBO), or change it to the user name too?
 
SQL Server Username:
< name=name>
SQL Server Password:< = name=>
SQL Server Username for creating tables < id=user value=DBO name=user>

all they have to do is give you

IP/Domain alias to the server : Server address
Username
password

some hosts give seperate logins for editing and connecting/reading from the database.

sort of a edit database user and a Website username with editing disabled, i can see a good side ie, more secure but then, if someoine wants to get in they will.

I will do that--I actually contacted them before you, but you actually take your support requests as initiatives...I still have not heard back from them. Thanks for the prompt attention, I hope I can get it rectified, but feel good knowing I can come back if bad things continue.

Contact the SQL Server admin to get the correct settings from them, they may also need to set a user with DBO rights for you to be able to create the database on the SQL Server]]> Wed, 26 Jul 2006 12:55:52 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-seem-to-get-set-up_topic20820_post111509.html#111509
