Обсуждение: Any W2K issues around odbc driver install?
Using odbc driver ver 7.02.00.05, I cannot install a file dsn on a win2k server running metaframe xp. I get the error "A connection could not be made using the file datasource parameters entered" The driver has been successfully installed on many WinXP machines "using the file datasource parameters entered" As per a previous list suggestion, I used telnet to verify that the firewall is not interfering. Any sugestions? Thanks Fred Parkinson Association of Basy Area Governments

I suggest you turn on logging in your DSN configuration, and examine the logs to see what is happening. That will give you some clue about where the error is happening, at least. ISTR that there are some issues with using file DSNs that don't apply to DSNs in general. You may get a clue about the source of your problem if you research that. > > The driver has been successfully installed on many > WinXP machines > "using the file datasource parameters entered" > > As per a previous list suggestion, I used telnet to > verify that the > firewall is not interfering. > > Any sugestions? > > Thanks > > Fred Parkinson > Association of Basy Area Governments > > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Postgres ODBC logging is hard coded to C: drive, but the Win2K box has no C:, is there any way to request logginh to anotherdrive letter? >>> Jeff Eckermann <jeff_eckermann@yahoo.com> 04/23/2004 7:47:41 AM >>> --- Fred Parkinson <FredP@abag.ca.gov> wrote: > Using odbc driver ver 7.02.00.05, I cannot install a > file dsn on a win2k > server running metaframe xp. > > I get the error "A connection could not be made > using the file > datasource parameters entered" That's not a server error; hard to tell whether it's a driver error (I don't have the source readily available to check), or an environment error.

AFAICT, not without re-coding... I wish it were so. My C: drive is very small, and logs expand to fill the space that they occupy with no regard for anything other than themselves.

Options: 1. Hack the psqlodbc source code and compile. 2. Mount a directory somewhere as C: I suspect that 2 will be easier. Take note of Chris's point about the logging chewing up lots of space. > > > > >>> Jeff Eckermann <jeff_eckermann@yahoo.com> > 04/23/2004 7:47:41 AM >>> > > --- Fred Parkinson <FredP@abag.ca.gov> wrote: > > > Using odbc driver ver 7.02.00.05, I cannot > install a > > > file dsn on a win2k > > > server running metaframe xp. > > > > > > I get the error "A connection could not be made > > > using the file > > > datasource parameters entered" > > > > That's not a server error; hard to tell whether > it's a > > driver error (I don't have the source readily > > available to check), or an environment error. > > > > I suggest you turn on logging in your DSN > > configuration, and examine the logs to see what is > > happening.
