Trying to install application to server



My problem is I want to install a program called webwizforums which uses
sqlexpress as its db. Here are the creators directions:

1.. Create a database on the SQL Server or use an existing one.
2.. Edit, with a text editor, the file 'database_connection.asp' found in
the 'database' directory entering, where indicated, your SQL Server name,
your SQL Server Authentication details, and the name of the empty database
you have created for the Forum on the SQL Server.
3.. Run the file 'msSQL_server_setup.asp' found in the main folder of the
Forum in your web browser. This file will create all the tables, relations,
and default values in the empty database you have created on the SQL Server.
It is highly recommend for security purposes that you delete this file from
the Web Server once the database is fully created.
4.. The Forum database should now be created and you can now use the
Forum.
I have installed sqlexpress, done all the above. My created database is
MedDir_Forum

The file "database_connection.asp" wants the following so here is the script
and what I have put in:

'Enter the details of your Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL Server and
database below
'********************************************************************************* strSQLServerName = "Internet06/sqlexpress" 'Alternately I have used theinternal IP address (192.168.1.6) Holds the name of the SQL Server (This isthe name/location or IP address of the SQL Server) strSQLDBUserName = "Terry" 'Holds the user name (for SQL ServerAuthentication) strSQLDBPassword = "MyPassword" 'Holds the password (for SQL ServerAuthentication) strSQLDBName = "MedDir_Forum" 'Holds the name of the databaseHere is the error I am getting: Error Connecting to database on SQL Server Check the following is set up and correct:- SQL Server User Name SQL Server Password Name of the SQL Server Database name set up by you on the server Empty Database set up by you on the SQL Server Check also that you have entered the correct details in the file'database_connection.asp' found in the 'database' directory. Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to connect to this databaseI've created and let this script create all the tables I need for thisapplication? Thanks, Terry
