I assume this problem is related to a userID and password that I must put somewhere, but I am not sure where to look and I wonder if anyone can point me. I want to write a CGI program for REBOL/Command which I have purchased, to look up a record in a table in a database maintained by Microsoft SQL Server, through ODBC (which I assume is the only way). I have isolated the problem with the following script: -------------- #!c:/rebol-cmd/bin/rebcmd.exe -cs REBOL [ ] print "content-type: text/html" print "" print "" print [<HTML><BODY><PRE>] COG-CON: open odbc://cogsdale COG-CMD: first COG-CON print ["Database is open"] close COG-CMD print ["Database is closed"] print [</PRE></BODY></HTML>] ---------------- When I run this script at a REBOL/Command prompt, that is, not through a browser, it works just fine, as shown by the following result: ---------------------- >> do %odbctest.r Script: "Untitled" (none) content-type: text/html
<HTML> <BODY> <PRE> Database is open Database is closed </PRE> </BODY> </HTML> >> --------------------- But when I run it as a CGI program, through a little test harness that looks like this... ----------------------- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Program runner</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <A HREF="http://10.66.250.149/cgi-bin/odbctest.r";>Run ( 'http://10.66.250.149/cgi-bin/odbctest.r"; ) the program</A> </BODY> </HTML> ---------------------- ...I get the following result: ----------------------- ** Script Error: ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'COB-DOMAIN\IS-SWHITE$'. ** Near: COG-CON: open odbc://cogsdale COG-CMD: first ------------------------ The script I run is not the actual same script in both cases because it must exist in the cgi-bin directory and the REBOL command directory, but it IS the same, as in an exact copy. I copied it before I ran it, and I went back and verified that they were the same after I had run them. I am very aware, from sad experience, that this kind of situation is a source of errors. I know that I can put a user ID and password on this line: COG-CON: open odbc://cogsdale to make it like this: COG-CON: open odbc://userid:passw...@cogsdale and I tried it with the password that I believe is my Windows password. The ODBC connection is set up to use Windows authentication. I also tried to change the ODBC connection to NOT use Windows authentication, and the userID and password I entered in the required boxes was rejected. (Maybe that is the key.) So I am scratching my head a bit here and wondering if anyone can offer guidance. Thank you.
