Hi all<br><br>Sorry for this v.basic question. Trying to load a layer from SQL 2008 R2 64bit using the msplugin_mssql2008.dll and when running shp2image it just bombs out on that layer saying neither DSN nor Server keyword supplied.<br>
Two things I can see could be the issue - accessing the plugin itself (any way to test if that is actually loaded okay?) or that the connection string is duff.<br>The SQL instance is the default instance on the same box as the web application, I have seen various flavours of connections out there,with different starts to the string and ways to define instance. Below is what I went with....<br>
<br> PLUGIN "msplugin_mssql2008.dll"<br> CONNECTION "MSSQL:Server=SERVER1;uid=user1;pwd=qwerty1234;database=name1;Integrated Security=True"<br><br>I have the dll in the data folder for the mapfile (it does live in the mapfile folder and system32 just in case - hardwiring the path using c:\...\...\msplugin_mssql2008.dll didn't work either)<br>
<br>I am unsure about the beginning of the connection string and the server reference (I am using the server name (as it is a default instance - works in my web apps)).<br><br>Any clues much appreciated<br><br>Thanks<br>
