Hi,

I read the other thread about this but I'm still confused. My MS SQL Server is on a Windows 2003 box and my Joomla/Table JX is on a Linux box. I receive an error that says "Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MSSQL server X.X.X.X,1433".

Where do I get ntwdblib.dll file and do I need to copy on Windows server or Linux server? The file that I saw seem to be for a Windows machine and the following info that was pointed out in the other discuss seems to be related to Windows.

Okay thanks. MSSQL support is installed and active when I run phpinfo, but I still receive the following:

Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MSSQL server X.X.X.X,1433

It may be my SQL Server machine restricting access so I will also contact my hosting company, but any ideas on what else to try?

Thx

Hi,

I had my hosting company verify everything was set up properly on the SQL Server, but I am still unable to connect. Please advise.

Thx

Hi, I wasn't able to solve this but we decided to use MySQL instead.

In Database Host you need to set:
hostname:port
not like you set hostname, port.

Try this
