asp_database_setup thread: Database Permissions on other servers ....


Message #1 by "david potter" <djpotte@p...> on Thu, 6 Feb 2003 18:56:47
How do you utilize databases that are located on servers that are not the 
web server. I am using Dreamweaver and ASP.NET.  This looks like a 
permissions issue.

You haven't provided enough information.

For example when you say "databases", what type of database are you talking
about? A database server such as SQL Server or Oracle, or a filebased
database like Access .mdb files?

When you say "you" are you talking about your ASP.net pages, or your
Dreamweaver development environment?

Please be exact in what your requirements are.

Cheers
Ken

I have a MS Database on another Windows 2000 Server. I am trying to access 
it with the Dreamweaver MX software as I am building the database 
connections. I am trying to use ASP.NET pages. 

thanks

dave

Hi David,

a) What is an "MS Database"? A Microsoft Access database? A Microsoft SQL
Server database? A Microsoft FoxPro database? Microsoft is a company. They
have several database products.

b) When you create ASP.Net pages (or any other type of "dynamic page", eg
PHP, ASP, CF etc), you need to create a "connection string" that tells the
page how to find the database. This connection string has to be valid for
the *server* that the page is going to be hosted on. So, you need to tell us
where your ASP.Net pages are going to be running as well. It's all very well
if Dreamweaver can find the database, but your ASP.Net pages can't...

Here is a list of connection strings if that helps. Select the connection
string for your database type:

Hi..
You dont say anything about which database you are running.
*******************
Important!!!
Have you remembered to give the "aspnet" user approperiate permissions? 
******************
If it is a Access db you just store it localy in your project.
If it is a SQL db you're accessing you can store the path in 
the Webconfig file. And then you refere to the path in the page load sub.
