Day/Month/Year date changed to Month/Day/Year in SQL

Hi Experts
i have an old Classic ASP application that have a form to add record with Day/Month/Year format, when the date entered as 23/06/2015 in SQL will be added correctly as 23/06/2015 but when date entered as 01/06/2015 : 1st june 2015 in SQL will be added as 06/01/2015 which will be incorrect
i searched the net for the solution for that and found this article
INF: How to Set the Day/Month/Year Date Format in SQL Server

but when i tried to run this query to configure the database

exec sp_addlanguage 'British', 'English',
   'January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,
   November,December',
      'Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec',
   'Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday',
   dmy,1
   sp_configure 'default language', 1
   reconfigure with override

Open in new window

i am getting an error message:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near 'sp_configure'.

can you please help me in solving this issue
thank you

You can directly use Dateadd to adjust the date like

SELECT DATEADD(month, 1, '2006-08-30');
SELECT DATEADD(month, 1, '2006-08-31');
