NetXMS Support Forum

Hello everyone,

I am new to netXms and having issues during the installation process. details as below:

-  OS: Window7 Ultimate.
- MSSQL: 2008
- .NET FMW : 4.0
- I am facing this issue after configuring database connectivity:

Database engine: Microsoft SQL Server Database driver: mssql.ddr Create new database: yes Database server: localhost Database name: netxms_db Database user: netxms Database administrator: * Run IP autodiscovery: yes Interval between discovery polls: 14400 Number of status pollers: 10 Interval between status polls: 60 Number of configuration pollers: 4 Interval between configuration polls: 3600

I am facing the error "error loading database driver" any idea about what i am facing here?"

Thank you very much, I wish you can treat this on urgent basis.

Hi!

Did you select component called "Microsoft SQL DB-Library" during installation? Also, you can try to use ODBC driver instead of mssql.

Hello,

Thank you, I tried to reinstall from scratch on a XP workstation and works fine, I guess netXms doesn't work on Windows7.

Thanks anyways for your reply.

Hi!

NetXMS by itself is working on Windows 7 (I do most of development and testing on Windows 7), but mssql database driver uses very old and deprecated API called DB-library, which may be incompatible with modern Windows versions. It will be removed in 1.1.x branch. For connecting to MS SQL, it is now recommended to use ODBC.
