If it's SQL 2000 and Windows XP ( with service packs) .
You must have at least service pack 3 on SQL Server for it to work. There should be a reference to this in the windows event log as well. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dusty Hale Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 4:54 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] dsn's in cf admin I'm used to setting up dsn's for SQL Server with the server name "(local)" when in fact the server instance is local. However, I just installed SQL Server 2000 Eval on my laptop and am trying to set up a dsn to a database I just created. I've verified the server name is (local) and I tried that and also the IP 127.0.0.1 (CF 7 and SQL 2000) I get this error (in cf admin dsn section) when using the ip: Connection verification failed for data source: tester java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect I get this error when using (local): Connection verification failed for data source: tester java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local) The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local) If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. I also have SQL Server 2005 Express running on the same machine with a different instance name and setting dsn's to that one works fine. thx Dusty ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
