Web Report will not connect to SQL

(imported topic written by lbradley91)

I am trying to connect Web Reports to a second instance of SQL on a Server. I keep getting the error “Unknown Error: Could not connect. Database ‘THSSQL01’ has been disabled.” The DSN connects successfully when I test it. Can someone give me guidance on how to set up the OBDC or how to setup Web Reports to access the second instance? Thank you for the help.

I will take a shot at this…since I have had similar issues.

I had to place an entry in the hosts file to point my machine at the bigfix server. ie 192.168.0.x bigfixservername

So that anything I do from my console machine that looked for the Server pointed to the reference location.

Hope that helps!

I am having same problem as lbradley. ODBC is working I still get database disabled, any idea?

Log into web reports and go to settings and un-disable your database.

This will happen if your database was unavailable for a while…

It was using wrong ODBC by default, so I set it to bfenterprise and it start to work.
