Create a database on the SQL Server or use an existing one.
Edit, with a text editor, the file 'database_connection.asp' found in the 'database' directory entering, where indicated, your SQL Server name, your SQL Server Authentication details, and the name of the empty database you have created for the Forum on the SQL Server.
Run the file 'msSQL_server_setup.asp' found in the main folder of the Forum in your web browser. This file will create all the tables, relations, and default values in the empty database you have created on the SQL Server. It is highly recommend for security purposes that you delete this file from the Web Server once the database is fully created.

contact your host, they will be able to [rovide these if they dont show within your control panel or within any emails etc.

but those are the sections that need to be edited to connect.
