[hackproof]

hi,

i need some help guys. im just new in using sybase sql anywhere ver 5.0 and our project leader wanted me to setup a network server database in our server that has an Windows 2000 server OS. i tried creating a network server service in the sybase central having the following parameters:

-c 20M
-n myserver ODBC; testdb

as i start the network server service, an error prompt the screen telling me to check my parameters. im new at this kind thing so could anyone tell me how to setup an network server services using sybase sql anywhere ver 5.0 in an Windows 2000 server OS?

I think the mistake is in the way you're trying to connect, usually the order is Application->ODBC->Database_Server->Database_file, so the server has to connect to the file, that means you have to specific the file in the parameters, it should look like

-n myserver "<database_path>\database_name.db" (using the quotes)

By the way, you can use a shortcut to start the database server, just point it to the 'dbsrv50.exe' file and add the parameters.

Hope this helps,
David.
