alright, this should be much easier I know...but I'm struggling. I can't get past

Web Wiz Forums Database Microsoft SQL Server Setup. here is the error:

 
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 'rxeob_user_forum'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Error Details:
Login failed for user 'rxeob_user_forum'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
-------------------------------------------
Does this simply mean that I do not have full privligaes to the Database I am trying to use? It says owner is DBO but the user I created is of another name. I tried to give that user full rights but I'm pretty helpless when it comes to IIS and MSsQL server 2000.

thanks,
Andrew

You need to make sure that SQL Server is installed in mixed mode to allow TCP/IP connections.

Check your SQL Server login settings in Web Wiz Forums.

If this is a local SQL Server install you would need to use 'localhost' as the location/name of the SQL Server. If it is the free SQL Server Express then you would use 'localhost\SQLEXPRESS' as by default the Express version installs with this name.
