Hello all, i've run into a bit of a snag and was hoping the good people here on epvp could give me a clue... I've searched for this but unable to find anything clear.
For security in my SQL Server Configuration Manager under TCP/IP I've disabled external IP's from accessing the database, (Listen all = no, All IPs other than 127.0.0.1 switched to no) Problem is, the scripts on my website such as registration, online players etc can't communicate with the DB either, which some are prudent to function of a server lol. I did try changing one of the IPs in the config manager to my websites IP and enabling. after which i couldnt even connect to DB locally, tried the same with listen all=on, with same result.
so ive switched the settings back to blocking all external so i can access locally again... any clue how i can get my website communicating again WITHOUT having it set listen all and lowering security? am i missing something silly here?
