OK, I'm NOT a PHP guy, so bear with me on this as it's all a little over my head.

Yesterday we had to have our offsite server rekicked due to a compromise.

Everything has gone back to normal (albeit a couple of things), one of which is our forum.

I've had to re-install PHP and the forum uses MSSQL "NOT" MySQL.

Here's what I've done so far:

1) Placed PHP into C:\PHP
2) Copied the PHP.INI file into C:\Windows
3) Added C:\PHP to the environment path
4) Uncommented the line "extension=php_mssql.dll" in the PHP.INI File
5) Added *.PHP in the WebServiceExtension of IIS and browsing to C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll

But when I go onto the forum, I'm presented with the following error:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mssql_odbc ]
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified [IM002]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Can anyone point me in the direction on what the problem is here, do I need a DSN in the ODBC settings? All totally new to this and rather confused.
