[Kaori]

any help with this problem plz

I thought you have setup some mir3s before?
You will never see many things in the future. Better title next time.
did you follow the guide?
did you import your cd3gbasedata?
edit cd.ini (eg. 127.0.0.1, sa, sapass)

 

[JoeAshton]

ye have set them up before but this first time i had that come up ><

did follow the guide
restored the CD3gbasedate
and cd ini is all fine

 

[Tass]

make sure the names all relate to one another. Must all relate to what the CD3G db is called.

Check your OBDC

 

[JoeAshton]

bump still got this problem any more ideas??

 

[Kaori]

is your sql server's TCP open properly?

 

[hallmat]

Is your password correct in your cd.ini and also the ip is it set to (local) the ip is where you have your Db's setup

 

[PwnedTBH]

The IP in CD.ini must be the name of your SQL Instance, thats why you get this Error, or Pass and ID is wrong, change them and it will work..

 

[robhw]

where is the SQL instance as i get the same error?

 

[JoeAshton]

still getting this msg coming up even with diff set of files that i know are working fine all ips are fine and CD.ini is fine as well

 

[Kaori]

which msg? basedata? for sure SQL info is wrong... check your cruel ini

 

[JoeAshton]

redone it 4 times now and still get same problem all ips server names are right

 

[Kaori]

here's your task

sample cruel ini
ip = (local)
user = sa
pass = pw

goto control panel -> admin tools -> odbc -> system dsn -> new dsn
name = whatever
server = (local)
next
With SQL Server auth
Check Connect to sql server
Login = sa
Password = pw
next

screen shot whatever you get in the next screen

 

[hallmat]

Here look and compare
Translated into English

CD.ini
[The game establishes]
Server IP=(local) This is the Ip address where SQL is this also can be 127.0.0.1
Lands the account =sa <<< if you have not set it up correcly it wont work
Lands the password = passssss <<< make sure this is correct

Also in !Setup.txt

Check all ips are this

127.0.0.1

And also the passwords are the same

ODBC

When your making Server connections ( data)

Did you change them from Defult after you put you user name and pass word in??

After you log in there is a check button at the top saying Defult Uncheck it and then look for the DB you are making the Connection for

It also could be your firewall that is blocking the connection

Also have added you to msn as asked on Private message

 

[JoeAshton]

服务器IP=127.0.0.1
登陆帐户=sa
登陆密码=sa

is what my CD.ini is set at atm

my Odbc are fine as working on m8s pc but just not mine

 

[Kaori]

服务器IP=127.0.0.1
登陆帐户=sa
登陆密码=sa

is what my CD.ini is set at atm

my Odbc are fine as working on m8s pc but just not mine

where's the problem server? your m8 pc or your pc?
what did the error say?

your next task

netstat -na | find "1433"

 

[JoeAshton]

[Kaori]

that means your sql server is not listening to tcp port standard is 1433

2 tasks

open enterprise manager
right click your sql server (windows nt)
properties
general tab
click network configuration
tcp/ip should be on the right side
highlight tcp/ip and properties the number inside should be 1433 don't hide server
restart sql server if you made changes

upgrade your sql server to SP4. (old sql installation disables tcp)
