Windows server hosting prerequisites

Good day,

My application will be hosted on a Windows server.

What are the prerequisites needed on the server?

The database will be SQL server 2012. What is needed that the sc app can connect to MS SQL?

Thanks

In geneneral nothing except that you need to create a DSN for SQL Server to be able to create a connection to it. Doesn’t matter how you approach your database, native, odbc or pdo. A DSN must be made. If the SQLServer driver is not there you need to download it from the M*crosoft website and install. SC requires a database to be installed, it does not contain drivers etc.

thanks

Is the SQL driver for PHP to connect to MS SQL?

If you want to use pdo you need the php pdo driver for MSSQL. For all options including pdo you need to be able to define a dsn on your sqlserver connection.

thank you for the feedback Albert
