Hi Lado,
Simply look up what the errorcode was.
So remove the 'or die' part from
$result=mssql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons")
or die("Couldn't create a result.")
, and inspect the error using mssql_get_last_message()
Good luck.

PS: I had trouble with mssql too, and switched to odbc connection to
mssql, which solved a lot of strange things for me. But maybe I setted
up the whole thing bad in the first place.
