I know there's been issues with this in the past but I can't seem to get mine working either even trying other previous attempts at it by other's.
I'm using 3.8e and the database is setup and the ODBC also.
Spoiler:
It does successfully connect to the database as well.
If it helps I'm using windows 7 64bit
Managed to get it working on my virtual machine but not on my actual desktop.
Actually im running on a virtual machine too, same thing happened to me so i ended up with a Virtual machine.
My question is did you put the server ONLINE or it is running local ?
I'm trying to figure out how to put it online via my virtual to let play my friends and see how it react but i'm not able :( I tried and did several search but nothing for the moment :(
let me know
[DBServer]
BillDBDSN=RMEBrain0
BillDBTableName=tblBillID
UserDBDSN=RMEBrain0
chack your rmServer.ini set Data Source Name: RMBrain0 as the red part as your file
i tried those :
RMEBrain0
RMBrain0
REMBrain0
RMBrains0
all not work , svMapCenter.exe still said that "Can not connect to BillDB"
do i need install another software ? like framework or VB or VCRed ?
please help me
thanks in advanced
It depends a lot on what OS you are using. I have only been able to successfully launch using windows xp. I get this same issue using 7, and i know for a fact I have set everything up correctly because I have hosted an redmoon server myself back in the day. If anyone can get it running using windows 7, i would love to know how. Windows xp isnt even supported anymore ;p
Make sure you set your ODBC settings in both the 32-bit manager aswell as the 64-bit manager.
im havin the same problem as you except im on xp. but every time i go to test odbc connection it gives me an error "Microsoft SQL Native Client Version 09.00.1399
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Have you installed SQL with mixed mode login?
Did you enter the correct data? Please provide this so we can help you further.
make sure you set up mixed mode,check ODBC check your INI !!! After few times not fix, suggest if you have no server yet ever ran, RESTART EVERYHTING!
I had this kinda problem to, i think it matters for other services that r messing with ur sql, so when i tried solving that in REGEDIT finding services ETC for 3 times and still errored (in my way IMPOSSIBLE! but guess not) Delete my server deleted all sql and components, reinstall and it runs.......i was really amazed
It is RME NOT REM. It is coded in the sql procedures either change all the procedures or use the right syntax.
And that is not the only reason someone can not connect to the database.
Check the rmp.dll make sure you put it in the right directories and is the right version if it is not in the right place he will never get it connected to the billdb.
