If I were you I'd read over the user notes here: http://us3.php.net/mssql_connect , even if you've done it already. It took me a few hours of debugging to work out all the issues, but I got it eventually. My problems were that I had to enable dual-mode authentication (Windows and SQL Server), and I had to install MDAC 2.8 on the machine running SQL Server (which is a Windows 2000 box, XP should have it pre-installed).
Also make sure you have the 'sa' account enabled, the password for it disabled, and that you allow remote hosts to use that account when logging in. Then try logging in as 'sa', with no password. Also, double check that your server port is 1433. If not, set the 'port' key in your connection. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
