Hello everyone. I know nothing when it comes to SQL. I have an access DB version of webwiz working on one box and I'm trying to get the SQL version working on another box. I get the following error when I try to run the SQL DB configuration file. And BTW, I'm using SQLexpress. Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
 
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.

Detailed Error Message:
Login failed for user 'administrator'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

1. You need to install SQL Express in mixed mode to allow TCP/IP connections.
2. By default remote connections are blocked in SQL Express, so if not running as localhost you need to allow remote connections.
3. SQL Express installs with the default name SQLEXPRESS. For example if it is a localhost connection you would use localhost/SQLEXPRESS
4. The default system administration account has the name 'sa' but should be renamed for extra security by running the SQL below on the SQL Server:-

ALTER LOGIN sa WITH NAME = [username];

Change username above to the new name you want for your SA account.

I reinstalled SQLExpress in mixed mode.
not sure how to unblock remote connections, but I did enable tcp/ip - I think.
 
Now I only get -

I hate to ask for any more help, but I think I'm almost there.

Have you create an account on the SQL Server called 'administrator' and does it have DBO permissions on the forum database you created?
