Just put your db string in the textbox and continue. It will automatically update the storeconstants file.]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:57:34 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/setting-up-pc-connecting-to-database_topic3539_post13574.html#13574 <![CDATA[Setting up PC, connecting to Database : Hello,I am following the Wiki...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/setting-up-pc-connecting-to-database_topic3539_post13572.html#13572 Author: BlackReefDesigns

Hello,

I am following the Wiki to setup the ProductCart software on my server.  I have already ran the script and now I am at the 'connecting to database' part:

Quote

Connecting to the Database

You can connect to your SQL database using a DSN or DSN-less connection. We recommend using a DSN-less connection. Make sure that the user used in the connection string has been setup for SQL authentication, not Windows authentication.

DSN-Less connection to a MS SQL database

"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER-IP,1433;Initial Catalog=DB-NAME;User Id=USER;Password=PWD;
 
 “SERVER-IP” is the server’s IP address
 “DB-NAME” is the name of the database

 “USER” and “PWD” are the user name and password that grant access to it"


Just to confirm - I need to update the string in the storeconstants.asp file with this, correct?  I don't see any mention of the storeconstants file in this wiki document, so I just want to make sure before I move forward.

In the past I have always had EI install the software on the server just to save some time, but now I am doing it on my own.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,
