Unable to connect to sql 2008 r2 database

I have uploaded a survey to the server. Activeperl is installed and the DBD-ODBC and DBI packages have been installed. I created a regular odbc connection to the database using the ip and port and was able to connect successfully.

When I open the admin page I get the following error.

Ive modified the error so real IP's and login info isnt displayed. The server where the database resides has a named instance where the survey database will be.

Sorry but this is the first survey Ive tried to configure so any tips would be helpful.

Thanks
Bill
