step 3 problem

Hey guys,

New to this

I have a slight problem connecting to my SQL server. I had purchased a microsoft sql server and had tried connecting to it for step 3 but there are connection issues. When I connect through it with my sql developers app, it seems to be fine?

Should data host = sqlsomething.mssqlservers.com?

or does it need to be in an ip address?

Thanks, urgent!

Try to change your host to localhost if the installation is on the same server.

Don't mark Urgent in your post event you want to pay for !

the thing is, its not on a localhost...

its on a microsoft server... will it still work? or does it have to be on a local machine?

any way around this hehehe

I also had this problem on Ubuntu 9.04 / mysql-connector-java-5.1.7 / java-1.5.0-gcj-4.3-1.5.0.0. The solution above worked for me as well. Thanks very much!
