I’m getting the dreaded:
The provided database host, username, and/or password is invalid, and a connection to the database could not be established. Please enter a valid host, username and password
Server for CRM is CentOS7, PHP 7.1, MS Sql Drivers are installed (see php check further down)
SQL Server host is Server 2016, SQL 2016, default instance (so no instance name)
if anyone see’s anything obvious that i have wrong, I’d appreciate it. My one question is, is there an issue with NO instance name being given (since we are on the default instance there is no instance name to use).
In my testing with if I try to give it the / and leave the instance name blank (so servername\ instead of just servername ) it does not like that at all and will refuse to connect.
I’ve looked in the logfiles and all that I get there is a very much un-useful :
[SugarCRM.log]
[install.log]
For testing purposes I create a simple PHP file to test everything:
<?php
$serverName = "cams-dev-sql"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"suitecrm_dev", "UID"=>"suitecrm-dev", "PWD"=>"password");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
if( $conn ) {
echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
?>That works with no issues. (unless I change the servername to be cams-dev-sql\ then it dies)
