MS SQL "database type" not supported
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't get MS SQL supported in my PHP installation.
I've just installed PHP BB (and I have tried their forums) and want to use
MS SQL, here's my setup
MS Win 2K SP4
Apache 2.0.50 with OpenSSL v 0.9.7d
MS SQL 2000 SP3
PHP 5.0.5
PHP BB 2.0.18
Apache has been running for some time serving other live sites (with MS SQL
integration) - no trouble there. I've done an install of PHP (1st & fresh)
onto the above, which tested fine with a simple test page.
I have looked at the php.ini (based upon php.ini-recommended) file and
(thanks to a posting on a forum) tried a few settings (like changing
"mssql.secure_connection" from "off" to "on")
I have copied all the DLL's to the same directory that holds PHP.exe (to be
sure) and this is in windows PATH variable of course.
I have uncommented the extension=php_mssql.dll as well of course.
Elsewhere, ppl have mentioned having MS SQL Client tools installed, which I
have.
And, just in case it occurs to anyway, I have restarted Apache after
changes.
As a complete noob to PHP and PHP BB I've now run out of ideas, although I'm
sure it's a simple solution of getting the settings right.
I'd appreciate someone letting me know what the php.ini settings should be
(and if necc, and changes to httpd.conf) I should be doing.
Thanks in advance.
