[opencms-dev] prob starting ocms---novice ----help!!

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi,

it seems that you have created the db in ms sql yourself witout the 
installation procedure, so did you have created the db logins and 
opencms users for your opencms db in ms sql (msde or version 7 or 2000). 
Which jdbc driver do you use, merant? the best way to get your 
installation work quickly for opencms is to install it on the opensource 
db mysql, microsoft has to learn jdbc first, thats at least my opinion ;-)

best regards from berlin
