    Server Name for SQL 2005 Connection String

    Hey Everyone

    Where can I find the server name that my site is hosted on. I'm trying to set up YAF (YetAnotherForum) and need to configure the connection string to set up the database.  The connection string looks like this:

    Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;

    Thanks in advance

    Drew

     You need to use the database manager on Helm to set up the database, and an SQL account.

    Once you have done this you'll be able to configure your connection string based on what you've set up. 

    See http://www.zensupport.co.uk/knowledgebase/article.aspx?id=10749 for details


    Kindest regards,
