Web Server / Database Problem

[xRebelKid]

Hey everyone, this is a really serious problem.

I'm trying to test the web server for this server and its really a issue not connecting to the database.

I tried 3 webs from ragezone, Wizkid Register page (PHP FILE), I used 2 tutorials from ragezone and i google'd one..

Every time i get a a message saying i can't connect to the database and i have no idea what it is.

I uninstalled SQL and Installed it again, I've used xampp, App Servr, & WAMP.

I've had help from others and the same thing happened.

What should i do ?
Do you think its the database?
Should i Download a brand new Database?

Feel Free to ask questions ! I really need help

What do you fill in at the connection details? (Host, User, Pass, Database name)

[xRebelKid]

Host : MYHOSTNAME\SQLEXPRESS
User : sa
Pass : *My Pass*
Database : GunzDB

[Dave]

ODBC or MSSQL?
Because you usually don't have to fill in an username and password with MSSQL.
Else you should check if odbcad is set up correctly.

Im using MSSQL ,

the odbc is working properly.

i did USer DSN and System DSN
