I apologize if in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong area. I just downloaded v9.65 and am trying to work through getting a forum up, but, I'm in no way, very knowledgeable when it comes to networking, etc. I have my own domain (www.djlifeguard.com) through hostsave.com. I know how to FTP files to my server (I using FTP Voyager). I uploaded the "forum" folder and content to my root directory and was able to access it with my web browser. I chose "Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008" (not sure if that's the right one or not really), as I don't even know what "SQL" means. Under "Server" I entered my domain name (http://www.djlifeguard.com), and filled out the rest of the info. But when I click "Test Database Connection", I get the following: An Error Occurred Connecting to the Database Error details:- ADODB.Connection.1 The application is using arguments that are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another. Where do I go from here? Thanks!! -Steve |

You need to contact your web host and ask them what databases your account supports. If you have SQL Server or mySQL databases ask them for what the connection and login detail would be for your database ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Your actual web address www.djlifeguard.com redirects to a myspace folder Are you sure you even have the correct permissions in the first place to upload a site/files? ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

Looks like there is something not right on the server that you are using. You would need to contact your hosting provider and get them to fix the issue.

Hi DJ - sorry I guess my comment looked quite rude re-reading it back in the daytime As Bruce says it sounds like an issue with the host setting up the database I would assume that you use some control panel to login into your client area, and normally somewhere there is an option to setup a database There are of course 4 things you would need to know: The database name The database username The database password And the database Server http://www.webwiz.net/webwizforums/kb/mySQL_install.asp" rel="nofollow - This page shows you the documentation for MySQL ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |
