Hey,

I have SQL SERVER setup and running. But when I connect to it it says: Unable to connect to server: localhost.

Could someone tell me why this could be?

Did you:

Check "Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services" to make sure SQL Server is up and running?
Do you know if you have a firewall blocking the SQL port?
Can you ping the SQL Server from Command Line?

The SQL Server would be my localhost ip address?

If you are running the SQL Server locally then there is no point pinging it ... lol

the 3rd one applies only if you are running the SQL Server remotely. Check the other two.

Are you able to Query your SQL Server directly through SQL Management? If yes then post your PHP code here so we can have a look at it.
