call godaddy support they can get you the exact information you need. like my post above make sure you put the info in the correct place in the connections page.

mysql on godaddy is running the correct version so it should work.

Thanks for the reply oldgym,

I have entered what I believe are the proper settings and still get the same results. The thing I'm not sure of is the "server-name"

I have two IP's to choose from. I get one from the godaddy server, but when I click on the mysql database it transfers me to "star technologies PHP" page and it has a different IP. I have tried using both of these IP's with the same results. Maybe I'm not supposed to be using an IP?

Its also telling me,

     "You need to have myODBC Driver version 3.51 installed on the server".

How do I know if thats done or not? ]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2007 14:28:02 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/setup-forum-on-godaddy-servers_topic23436_post123475.html#123475 https://forums.webwiz.net/setup-forum-on-godaddy-servers_topic23436_post123456.html#123456 Author: oldgym

you need to make sure your database_connection.asp settings are as follows, only fill in the red areas...

    strSQLServerName = "servername-secureserver.net" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server (This is the name/location or IP address of the SQL Server)
    strSQLDBUserName = "oldgym-username" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
    strSQLDBPassword = "oldgym-password" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
    strSQLDBName = "DB-namehere"     'Holds the name of the database

   
   
    'Initilise the DB Connection String
    strCon = "Server=" & strSQLServerName & ";User ID=" & strSQLDBUserName & ";Password=" & strSQLDBPassword & ";Database=" & strSQLDBName & ";"
End If

------------------------------------------

goaddy offers 1 sql database with shared hosting so i suggest you take advantage of that instead of using access.

also godaddy does have the aspupload component installed on all servers so all you have to do is add permissions to the uploads folder and posting files and images are available.

I am getting the same error that you got at godaddy, oldgym. If you don't mind my asking was it a spelling error on your part or in the file itself?

Thanks

If you ever have enough of GoDaddy you can always checkout our hosting at www.webwiz.net and can even setup Web Wiz Forums for you on your hosting account.

We will also be launching a range of Web Wiz Forums only hosting packages so if you only wanted your forum hosted and not your whole site there will be cheaper options available for that.

turns out I had a typo in my database file. for future godaddy hosting customers, godaddy really has a generic support system.

they are easy to get to and available 24/7, they are in the USA and speak good english   but all they could tell me was that the SQL DB is setup correctly bye bye!!

you are pretty much left in the dark for anything other then basic providing of information. I suggest anyone that has a website racking in big bucks, not to go with godaddy because if something happens you really cant get anyone behind the scenes to investigate.

as for me, my websites are small time so i get what i pay for.

Thanks, Borg and the rest of the webwiz family,

ps. I really love yourapplications and am waitng for9.0

The error means that the details you have entered to connect to the SQL Server are incorrect. Contact GoDaddy for the correct details.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 08:11:44 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/setup-forum-on-godaddy-servers_topic23436_post123259.html#123259 https://forums.webwiz.net/setup-forum-on-godaddy-servers_topic23436_post123253.html#123253 Author: oldgym

anyone succesful at installing the SQL version of 8.0a forum on godaddy hosting server?

I was running the access version successfully but need to upgrade because of heavy traffic. so i created a SQL database with godaddy and plugged in the info into the database_connections.asp file.

when running the mssql_server_setup.asp file i get the following error

Error Connecting to database on SQL Server

Check the following is set up and correct:-

SQL Server User Name
SQL Server Password
Name of the SQL Server
Database name set up by you on the server
Empty Database set up by you on the SQL Server

Check also that you have entered the correct details in the file 'database_connection.asp' found in the 'database' directory.
---------------------------------------


anyone with experience with go daddy please help.



thanks in advance
