Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in C:\Xitami\webpages\db\msaccess.php on line 55
phpBB : Critical Error

i dont know if i need to make an access database or use another type of install

also does anybody have a full step-by-step install i could use?

Your best bet is posting in the phpBB forums...

The regular combo is Apache/PHP/MySQL, I don't know of anybody else personally who's installed this on a Xitami/Micro$oft database combo.

Hey,

Have you created an SQL database, if you dont have SQL installed this is you're problem, usually someone using cPanel could just use Fanstastico or another build in board, but if installing manually there sometimes could be a problem.

1) Make sure you have SQL on you're server...
2)Make sure you create a create name and password for the database of the board!
3) If none of them work contact the board Forums!

David. :D
