Hi,

I need to install jforum with mssql database, but if i try to select database type then i can't able to see the option for microsoft sql server database. So can u pls let me know steps to install jforum with mssql.


Thanks.

The option of database type is "SQL Server" for Microsoft SQL Server. If you can't see this in install.page, check the install.htm file.
<jforum_installed_path>/templates/default/install.htm:

					<tr>

						<td class="row1" align="right" valign="top"><span class="gen"><b>${I18n.getMessage("Install.dbType")}: </b></span></td>

						<td class="row1" align="left">

							<select name="database" onchange="changeDbPort(this.value);">

								<option value="mysql" <#if database?default("") == "mysql">selected="selected"</#if>>MySQL</option>

								<option value="postgresql" <#if database?default("") == "postgresql">selected="selected"</#if>>PostgreSQL</option>

								<option value="oracle" <#if database?default("") == "oracle">selected="selected"</#if>>Oracle</option>

								<option value="hsqldb" <#if database?default("") == "hsqldb">selected="selected"</#if>>HSQLDB</option>

								<option value="sqlserver" <#if database?default("") == "sqlserver">selected="selected"</#if>>SQL Server</option>

							</select>

							<br />

							<span class="gensmall">

							<font color="green">${I18n.getMessage("Install.dbTip")}</font>

							</span>

						</td>

					</tr>

Hi andowson,

Thanks for your reply, now i can see the option for sql server(i.e i have added manually to <option value="sqlserver" <#if database?default("") == "sqlserver">selected="selected"</#if>>SQL Server</option> <jforum_installed_path>/templates/default/install.htm file), Still i cant able to install the jforum since i am getting the database configuration issue but i am sure the input which i given is correct i dont know exactly why this issue is happening?, here with attaching the screen shot, kindly help to resolve this issue.


Thanks

You are installing JForum version 2.1.9 not JForum 2.3.x.
Please download the latest version from
https://code.google.com/p/jforum2/downloads/list
The SQL Server support is already fixed there.

Hi andowson,

Thanks for your valuable time and solution, yes now I have installed successfully(v2.3.x) as per you comments.
