Can anyone tell me what I type in these on PHP BB 2.0.19 (I got confused with ODBC DSNs & Databases)

Database Server Hostname / DSN:
Your Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:

Everycombination i try comes up with:


Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in D:\Domains\gamingdevil.com\wwwroot\forums\db\msacc ess.php on line 55

Can you PM me the setup URL?

[Jacob]

Have you used the database included in the zip file you downloaded?

[subzero]

What you mean? What Database?

[Jacob]

You need to use the ms_access_primer database in your /db folder (the file can be found in /installs/db schemas folder of phpbb zip file that you downloaded)

Ah, thanks never read:

"Before you install phpBB 2 you need to create a Data Source Name or DSN. The exact way to do this will depend on your hosting provider, if you are unsure you should check with them before proceeding. In general though you should create a System DSN which points to the location where you have stored an unarchived copy of the ms_access_primer.mdb file (this is contained in the ms_access_primer.zip which can be found in install/schemas/). The name you give this DSN will be used during installation. Do not proceed until this step is complete!"

Works fine now, ty
