I am a beginner and try to install the guestbook. Already step 3 (readme-sql.txt)gives me problem, create database on the sql server.

On my server I get following information:

UserName: <username>

Password: <password>

My SQL Host: mysql.fiddleandabow.com

Database Name <same as username>

Now, what exactly do I have to put in the file SQL_server_connection.asp.This is what I put in but I can not log in:

'Enter the details of your SQL server below
strSQLServerName = "mysql.fiddleandabow.com" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
strSQLDBUserName = "username" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBPassword = "password" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBName = "same as username" 'Holds name of a database on the server

i have just seen that you have mySQL server. the guestbook is not designed for the MYSQL database type it is designed for the MSLSQ Database servers.

it wont work on your server if thats a dedicated MySQL server with no MSSQL support
