I am using the forum (ver 7.01 SQL) and i keep getting this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

However the server DOES exist... it seems to happen under load. Any ideas?

Check that your password, username, database name, and server address are correct.

Ok the error came up once on your latest post at the bottom of the default page but when I hit refresh i didn't got the error anymore but the latest posts still didn't show up...

I guess you're using a mod with it's own db connection string, so open your default.asp (or whater file the mod is) and make sure the connection string is the same for the forum, or a much better idea would be to mod the mod to use the same connection objects as the forum...., here's the code I used for that mod on my default.asp:


   Dim PostCountInfo
   Dim strTopicSubjectInfo
   Set rsCommon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
   strSQL = "SELECT " & strDbTable & "Topic.Topic_ID, " & strDbTable & "Topic.Subject, " & strDbTable & "Forum.Forum_ID, " & strDbTable & "Forum.[Read] "
   strSQL = strSQL & "FROM " & strDbTable & "Forum INNER JOIN " & strDbTable & "Topic ON " & strDbTable & "Forum.Forum_ID = " & strDbTable & "Topic.Forum_ID "
   strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE ((" & strDbTable & "Forum.Password) Is Null) "
   strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY " & strDbTable & "Topic.Last_entry_date DESC;"
   rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon
   If rsCommon.EOF Then
    Response.Write "<span class=""smltext"">No Forum Posts Made</span>" 
   Else
    Do while NOT rsCommon.EOF AND PostCountInfo < 6
    intForumID = CInt(rsCommon("Forum_ID"))
    intForumReadRights = CInt(rsCommon("Read"))
    Call forumPermisisons(intForumID, intGroupID, intForumReadRights, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
    If blnRead Then
    PostCountInfo = PostCountInfo + 1
    strTopicSubjectInfo = rsCommon("Subject")
    Response.Write(vbCrLf & "<a href=""/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=" & rsCommon("Topic_ID") & "&PN=1"" class=""smLink"">" & strTopicSubjectInfo & "</a>") 
    If NOT rsCommon.EOF Then Response.Write("<br />")
    End If
    rsCommon.MoveNext
    Loop
   End If
   rsCommon.Close

This error can also happen if the SQL server can not be connected to. This can happen if there is a problem with the network for example the network has to much load on it and con not connect to the SQL server. This then is a problem with the network rather than the forum software.
