Hi, I have install the forum on my DEV machine and it works fine with the SQL settings and stuff. However, when I try to run the setup to create the table, it gave me error when I run it so I displayed out the codes to generate the tables and use that in the Query Analyzer. However, the info that is in the SQL_server_connection.asp file doesn't gives me error when I try to access the forum. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005' [DBXXXXXX]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). /ctpdev/forum/common.asp, line 261 The login info is the same as those I used for my root site and the root site has no problem accessing the SQL server.Anyone has any ideas? |

Are you trying to create or re-create the table? If it's already been created, you have to drop it before re-creating it. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

Hi, no I am not trying to re-create the table. This message shows up when I am trying to access the forum page. I tried it locally and it was alright. |

Could you explain what you are doing, you shouldn't need to use a query analizer. Follow the install documents that come with the forum. You need to edit the MS SQL Server connection file entering the correct details for your SQL Server, then run the file msSQL_server_setup.asp, entering a username and password that has permissions on the MS SQL Server to create tables on the database. This file will create all the tables, stored procesdures, etc required for the forum. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Yes, I know I shouldn't use the Query Analizer (QA), but the thing is
that the msSQL_server_setup.asp doesn't run with the ID/password we
were supplied. The ID/password works for the main site which the forum
is also installed in. So in the end, I output the codes onscreen and dump it into QA to create the tables/relationships and stored procedures. I edited the SQL_server_connection.asp to connect via DSN and it works, but if I use SQLOLEDB as the provider, it gives me the error. |
