database connection

wei
Thanks Craig. i think you are right.the connectString is not set properly.
if i down the ip address, how do i set it?
string connectionStrin g = "Provider=MSDAO RA.1;Data source=server;U ser
ID=username;Pas sword=password" ;

this is my current setting. i try to replace server with ip+port, it didn't
work either. how do i set it? thanks.

looks like something in your connectString is not correct. It should
not have to be different for web vs win. I'd check to make sure your
web app is setup correctly for database access. Also check the tns
settings for your oracle connection on that box.

Actually, maybe it's because of permissions, you can't read the file
where the tns values are stored. If this is a dev box, try temporarily
changing your user setup in machine.config to SYSTEM instead of machine
(it's in the processModel node/section). Then re-run this. See if it
works. (and then of course, as a good developer, change machine.config
back :-) )

If it fails (which I would hope), then you know it's something with
permissions for the aspnet account accessing some Oracle settings/files.
Maybe have to give the aspnet user access to that directory. I
haven't worked with Oracle in awhile, so I'm drawing from vague

memories...

You do not have a TNS name for the server. With Oracle, you have to have the
Oracle client blah blah on your web machine to connect to Oracle. One of the
items is TNSNames.ora (? - may have spelling wrong). For the server in
question, you have to have a TNS name to use the oracleClient objects.
