I just downloaded the product on to my Desktop and having similar issues. I tested with Telnet and the local ms sql server can be connected. I have also done the copy of 2 dll into my ext folder under PHP. Nothing seems to work. There’s got to be a easier way to get these simple problems resolved. I understand this is open source? Any help is appreciated. I also using the 2.0 beta for DreamFactory. I hope to hear from someone soon.
