Unable to start DataServer, SQL Server does not exist or access denied

**shin1234** · 17-06-21

Hi I have experience in setting up MuOnline server, however I am having an issue in attempt to setup the following server.

https://forum.ragezone.com/f197/rele...r-97d-1123147/

Firstly, I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2016 with SP2 and I have successfully restored the DB for SQL 2005 and up.

Secondly, upon trying to startup my dataserver1 i am receiving this error - >

# SQLStateL08001, diagnosis:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. #

Thirdly, in attempts to narrow down the issue, I have wrote a simple script on python to connect to my MuOnline.dbo.Test_Table, a table which I created on SQL Management Studio to test if I am able access my MS SQL Server on an external connection. And Yes it works, I am able to return my Test_Data1, Test_Data2

Fourthly, I am suspecting the issue lies in the OCDB that was given. Here's a script for the OCDB that was given in the above link for x64 bit OS

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Upon further checking, the folder for DefaultDSNDir \ODBC\DataSources does not exist in my C:\Program files\Common files

But I am not sure if it is right... Greatly appreciate if anyone could help
