Making a site

I got everything up and running with wamp, but I'm stuck at connecting.

$mssql_user = "sa";
$mssql_pass = "*****";
$mssql_database = "GunZDB";
$mssql_host = "POP-NVGO60RPW0P\SQLEXPRESS";

$conn = mssql_connect($mssql_host, $mssql_user, $mssql_pass) or die("");
mssql_select_db($mssql_database) or die("");

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: POP-NVGO60RPW0P\SQLEXPRESS in C:\wamp\www\reg.php on line 10

What do I do to get it to connect? I've tried every user and pass combo possible, none give results.

edit: By the way, I've tried both wamp and AppServ.

Hmm... Did you set your own pass for windows SQL Server because you have to in order to connect

 

[peaceofpi]

Yeah. I assume I did, anyway, since I can log into SSMSE with a user/pass and not Windows auth

 

[Omer]

Then use that user and pass and set the port right?

 

[peaceofpi]

Have you any ideas on what the port could be? It's the only thing I haven't tried.

 

[Omer]

You must be registered to see links

Use this and enable port 80 TCP

 

[kochon]

have you tried no user and no pass ?

 

[peaceofpi]

I opened every possible port through Windows firewall and both wamp/matchserver are running, no dice >_>

Are you on a router? + Use your computer name\SQLEXPRESS

Example: FUMANCHU\SQLEXPRESS

 

[peaceofpi]

I'm on a modem that doubles as a router. And if you actually read the first post, I did use that name.
