I cant install mybb 1.6.4 into mssql database.
i have another option make this database into remote server like 177.xxx.xxx.xx remote mysql service.
Please help how and what to do.
Thanks in advance.
MyBB doesn't MSSQL.
When installing, select MySQL and enter the remote MySQL server information.
E.g.
Hostname: 177.xxx.xxx.xx
User: user_mybb
Password: xxxxxxxxxx
Database: user_mybb
Its cant happning here.
I tried but failed , anyone here interested to help me manually ?
i need it done for my free web-hosting forum.
Since it's a free web hosting forum, why don't you look for a one that support PHP and MySQL?
Just saying
You also need a port, probably after IPAddress of host name, like ipaddressofhost:port , am not sure about what the port number has to be but as far as I remember, it should be something like 3365 or 3065, not sure.
MySQL's default port is 3306.
Yes, try the one Malcolm said. I've used this thing is past for testing, if you've done everything correctly, that should work fine.
Well i am giving away windows server and its better to use some mssql .
Well i found the port its good anyway , i am switching to phpbb forum .
mybb is my first choice but its failed me to impliment i cannot do any thing unless some professional guy help me.
I still prefer mybb please help me .
Well i found this setting working with phpbb forum(config.php) :-
$dbms = 'mssql';
$dbhost = 'xxx.xxxx.xxx.xx';
$dbport = '14xx';
$dbname = 'ixxxx';
$dbuser = 'xxx';
$dbpasswd = 'xxxxxxx';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';
that would work with MyBB as well, try to see my post and implement it?
How to do please explain
* Hostname: 177.xxx.xxx.xx:14XX
User: user_mybb
Password: xxxxxxxxxx
Database: user_mybb
