I am new to the ww forums and need some basic guidance.  I created the database in SQL server, entered the paramters in the connection.asp file.  Then, I navigated to the msSQL_server_setup.asp page.  I don't know which pieces of information to enter here.   Any advice would be great.
 
Thanks

Generally you enter the same information as in the database_connection.asp file.

It only asks for the information again as sometimes people setup a SQL Server Login that only has read and write permissions, and no permissions to create and alter tables. However as you are having to ask I doubt you have gone this deep into SQL Server permission system, so you should be able to enter the same details as in the connection file and leave the grouping on 'DBO'

I modified the connection.asp page to read the following:
 
strSQLServerName = "MACHINENAME\SQLEXPRESS"
strSQLDBUserName = "webwiz"
strSQLDBPassword = "BLAHBLAHBLAH"
strSQLDBName = "webwizforums"
 
where machinename and blahblahblah are replaced with real data.  I also created a webwiz account via SQL Server 2005 Express Managment studio then:
 
On the General page for the login profile:
 
1) set the password to match what's in the strSQLDBPassword variable above
2) enabled enfore password policy
3) set the default database to webwizforums
 
On the Server roles I enabled all.
 
On the User Mapping tab I enabled map on the webwizforums db, user webwiz, default schema dbo
 
On the Securables tab I didn't do anything
 
On the Status tab Permission was granted and Login enabled.
 
Sorry for the simplicity of the question.

Thats seems correct. The only thing you have not mentioned is that SQL Server needs to be installed in mixed mode to allow TCP/IP connections.

Sorry for being dense here:

Server username would be webwiz
Password would be BLAHBLAHBLAH
Server username would be either DBO or ???
 
Is that correct?

On the setup page leave DBO as DBO as this stands for Database Owner which the user you have created in SQL Server should be the DBO (Database Owner) on the database.

Thanks.  I googled the error code and found it was my SQL server install was not in mixed mode.  I reset the registry value for login authentication mode and it popped right up.
 
Thanks.
