I am trying to run a phpbb forum with an SQL Server database. When I try to run the phpbb setup It says:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
I have a database called php setup on server eurofighter\SQLEXPRESS
When running the phpbb setup that's the Database Server Hostname I specify
eurofighter\SQLEXPRESS as the Database Server Hostname / DSN
Can anyone explain why it won't connect?

Try 'localhost\SQLEXPRESS' or '127.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS'; either of those should work.
And running PHPBB off MS SQL Server - that's a first.
