Subject: IIS server, connection to offsite database server
Posted By: Hazzardusa Post Date: 8/9/2005 6:36:11 PM
i currently host with godaddy and i have xp pro. i have my working website setup on a godaddy server and i am trying to set it up on my own computer using IIS. so far the website works great except that it cant in any way connect to the database on godaddy's site. heres what the global.asa file looks like,

Sub Application_OnStart
    Application("Website_Url") = "http://www.MM.com" 'this was edited because thye website has not been released yet
    Application("Data_Server") = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=BLANK;password=BLANK;Initial Catalog=DB_11279;Data Source=whsql-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net"
End Sub

i dont see why this wouldn't still work, i am currently contacting godaddy to see if they dont allow offsite database calls, thats my only idea so far.
if this is the case, does anyone know of any good webhosts that host plain asp and allow offsite database calls?
