ask your host for :

MSSQL server name (the server that holds the MSSQL Database)
Database Name (the name of the databases you can use/access)
Database Username (username to allow you to login to the database)
Database Password (the password used for the username you have that authenticates your login)

that is all you should need , it was stated above

Email your hosting company and ask for the following things:

1. SQL Server Name
2. Username of SQL database
3. Password of SQL database
4. Name of SQL database

Once you have all those 4 things, enter them into the database_connection.asp file in your database directory of your forum]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2007 21:06:27 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/database-connection_topic24199_post126965.html#126965 <![CDATA[Database connection......>>> : charades wrote:This thread...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/database-connection_topic24199_post126963.html#126963 Author: javi712

please correct me if I am wrong


No, you can run any database type you'd like. You can setup Web Wiz Forums on SQL, mySQL or Access.

Now if you have the option of SQL, go with this option as it is the fastest and safest way to run your forum.
