Re: [xwiki-users] Need help configuring xwiki for sql server; possible documentation error

I also tried a step back, using the driver style in the sqlserver config page <property name="connection.url">jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/XWiki;tds=8.0;lastupdatecount=true</property> Now the error is HTTP Status 500 - org.xwiki.velocity.XWikiVelocityException: Failed to evaluate content with id [init.vm] type Exception report message org.xwiki.velocity.XWikiVelocityException: Failed to
