linking web server to a sql server

[andreb2005]

i have duplicated a web server and a sql server to work in a different location incase the current one fails. the web server in the curent new locatyion i'm working on is currently working and when you get to the website on the interent you see the first page of the website. my problem is the databes does not seem to be linked to the the website like in the original location. what do i need to do so that the website reads the database server and the web application can be run

Too many unknows to answer that. Does your web application use a DNS connection or DNSless connection?

I hope you find this post helpful.

dns less. i cant figure out how to link the website to the database. so when you open a page it goes to the database

Can you ping the SQL Server from the Web Server?

Do you use ODBC? Is the DSN configured correctly on the Web server? Check the IP address/DNS entry for the SQL Server.

Can you load the client tools on the Webserver and connect to the Database?

All of the above must work before you can have full connectivity.
