Let's see, you have a mysql database server and are trying to connect to it with a mssql connection string ?

Are you sure you downloaded the right version of this forum software ?

Ok do you have
  1. Mysql version of forum?
  2. A working mysql db? Also tried to connect?
  3. Other software that does work whit it?
All things you need to do is edit the db connection and run mySQL_server_setup.asp if this isn't giving errors then you db is up and ready, you should now be enabelt to see the forum.
