Hello people,

I have a very big problem which I don't understand:

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: 127.0.0.1 in C:\xampp\htdocs\include\class.mssql.php on line 42

Database error: connect (127.0.0.1, sa, $Password) failed
MSSQL Error: 0 ()
Session halted.

The password in the config file is OK, the password in SQL is OK.
I did install the website on a different host connected to the same database, and it's worked, but.. when I install the website in the server , where the database is ... it's not connecting to it and I can't solve this problem !
Allready 24 hours passed since i'm trying to fix it and i can't...
As for web hosting i'm using XAMPP.
Hope some one will answer to me and help me solve this problem.

Regards,
DarkStone.

Do a search on the error code you are gettint online.

...Well this is not a php forum, try sitepoint.com/forums or php.net

this forums focus more on microsoft technologies

the ip address 127.0.0.1 specifically refers to the local machine and is reserved as such.

Try using the same ip address to connect to your sql server as It was using on the other webserver.
SQL can have access limited to specific ip addresses. 127.0.0.1 wont necessarily be one of them.

You are not understanding the point.

When he first posted the thread, he put his real IP, then i adviced him not to post his real IP, so he replaced it with the present IP.

That is not the idea people, i can't solve this problem... i did change the ip / password / host several times.
The SQL pretends to not have any problems , but , i think there is a problem with it... something about a restriction, and i don't know where i can change that.
If some one is capable of helping me , i will really appreciate that.
I inform you again: " I'm using SQL 2000, running on a WINDOWS SERVER 2003 DEDICATED SERVER RC2 "
