i've uploaded the newspad folder and edited the 'database_connection.asp' file but when i run the SQL server setup tool it comes up with the following 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: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. as far as i know the only thing i may have done wrong is the SQL servername when editing the 'database_connection.asp' file , i put in an IP address but to be honest i wasn't sure if that was correct or whether that was what i should be putting in .
PLEASE HELP !

You have to have setup a database first with your hosting company, and they should provide you with your login name, user details etc http://www.webwiz.net/webwiznewspad/kb/sql_server_install.asp - Check the documentation again and just review what you have done. It sounds like a very simple mistake somewhere ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |
