MS SQL failing when in Password Protected Directory

[3Y3]

Hi,

A recent project of mine is just in a snag right now. Any php pages that are stored in a password protected folder on our site (using our own web server) do not connect to ms sql anymore. The code is correct and works when in a non-password protected directory, however the moment its back in this protected development folder I get: "Warning: mssql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-Link resource".

I'm sure its just a setting in either php or on our web server that I need to edit but alas I can't find a solid answer. FYI we are using Sql 2000 and windows 2003 server. Thanks.

personally I would store the connection file in the cgi-bin and include it in the password protected dir . anyway with mysql I don't know this problem
