Error: Could not connect to database. Reason:
Trying to setup a new forum.

It's a MS SQL, I get "Error: Could not connect to database. Reason: " but no reason is listed.

Hmm, ODBC's Perl error handling leaves something to be desired. Double-check all the database information, and make sure the database source (DSN is the terminology, I believe) is set up properly.

Also, what version of the forum are you using? There was a bug in earlier versions that the error message would not be displayed. This was fixed in Gossamer Forum 1.2.0 I believe.

Cheers,

It was 1.2.0. You can strike this from your "to worry about" file though. I decided to go another direction for the site I was working on so it's no longer an issue (giving a PHP boad a spin).
