    Here’s my dilemma, I have a App/web server and I also have a DB server. I have installed WP on the app server BUT I have tried several things to connect to my MS SQL DB.

    I’ve read quite a few feeds regarding connecting to a remote database but the only options I see on the WordPress database connection page is(MYSQL, MYSQLi and PDO my SQL).

    Please Help!

    So why are you trying to use an Microsoft SQL Server? It seems you’re making your own life difficult.

    WordPress doesn’t support MSSQL out of the box, only MySQL. There are some plugins out there that say that they can make it work but so far I haven’t heard of any that do it all correctly (if anyone does know of one that works, please feel free to jump in here and let us all know!).
