Hi everybody, i have a problem with php 4.0 an Sql Anywhere 5.5. The Webserver (Apache), the database and PHP are all installed on the same server( win 2000). PHP is using ODBC to connect to the database. This works if no other programm using the ODBC-connection ! If i start a programm that use the ODBC-connection BEFORE i access a website that use the PHP-ODBC-connection to the database and then try to load a website that use the PHP-ODBC-connection i get the following error : Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Sybase][ODBC Driver]Unable to connect to database server: database engine not running, SQL state 08001 in SQLConnect in c:\programme\apache group\apache\htdocs\umka.php on line 29 I have tried to use another OBDC datasource name but the error is the same !! Can anybody help me ? I no that this must run, because i have installed the configuration 2 years before ( wiht php3) !
