[Express 2005] Unable To Connect To Datasource

Aug 21, 2006

I've never used SQL Server before. I installed VB 2005 Express (I've been working with VB since I was 16), and SQL Server 2005 Express.

I installed the server with all the default settings and created a small database to handle customer information (a remake of some Access and Oracle databases I've made before).

I'm told, however, each time I try to connect to the database via VB, that SQL Server isn't accepting remote connections...

Remote? It's on a local computer. So is VB...what is going on here? Is there a setting I've missed?

Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005

May 26, 2008

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,

"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)

Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.

I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.


Thanks,

CLN

P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

Feb 5, 2007

Hi,



I have installed SQL Server 2005 express edition on Windows 2003 Server, but i am unable to make a connection using

sqlcmd -S <servnameinstancename> -U <loginID> -P <pwd> -d <dbname>

but i am able to make the connection using

sqlcmd -S <servnameinstancename>,<portnumber> -U <loginID> -P <pwd> -d <dbname>



What could be the possible reason for this and how can i configure sql
server 2005 express edition to make connections without specifying any
portnumber in the connection string. Both the sqlserver database
service and browser services are running.

Sql Server Express And VB.net Express - Unable To Connect...

May 31, 2007

Hi!

I'm trying to connect a DB in SQL express with a program in VB.NET Express. I'm using the Data Source Configuration Wizzard. When I select the file (.mdf), the following message appears:



Unable to open the physical file "path to my file". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)".

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file 'myFile' failed. A database with the same name exists, or secified file cannot be opened, or it is located in UNC share.



I'm using the Windows authentication for this, but if I try with the sa user, I get the following message:



Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.



Any ideas to solve this?



Thanks

Unable To Connect .NET To SQL Express 5!!!!

Feb 10, 2008

Cannot someone please help me with following problem.  I am trying to create a program to update a sql datbase from.NET 2003.  I am doing this by using SQL Server Express 5.  The problem is, is that when I run the program and click the button to view the table in SQL Express 5 I keep getting an 'System.NullReferenceException' and the table is not shown. When I look at the debug details it says that 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Am not sure where am goin wrong as the connection is opened to the local server in SQL Express and I have created a connection object and initialised it to the address fo the datatable in SQL. 
Please find below the code I am working on which shows the connection string in question and the table being called in button 6  which causes the exception.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks

Unable To Connect To Mssql Server Using Sql Express

Oct 13, 2006

Hi,

I installed Sqlexpress server 2005 and am able to connect to the server using the sqlexpress manager.

The connection parameters are:

server: 127.0.0.1 (This is an alias name pointing to TMD03SQLEXPRESS)
username:sa
password:test
mode: sql server and windows authentication mode
TCP/IP : enabled and listening on port number 1433.

But I am not able to connect to the server using PHP's mssql_connect function.

I tried various combinations like

mssql_connect("127.0.0.1","sa","test")
mssql_connect("local","sa","test")
mssql_connect("localhost","sa","test")
mssql_connect("TMD03SQLEXPRESS","sa","test")
mssql_connect("127.0.0.1,1433","sa","test")

but none of them works. I also tried OSQL and SQLCMD and they don't work either. They give me the following error message.

[SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL
Server [2].
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to
the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by
the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections.

Can anyone please let me know what am doing wrong here?

Regards,
Celia

This Is the Situation, at first i recieved this error
"

Previously we received a €œfailed to generate a user instance of SQL due to a Failure in Starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed€?

I looked up this error and it seams to be a flaw/bug in sql server express the error occurs because of the use of remote login on the windows 2003 server.

The solution to this was to delete an sql server directory that resides here
C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMELocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS.

This indeed solved the failed to generate a user instance once the server was re-started however now I get a responce within the asp.net pages (which will have been built into those pages)




Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.



now i have checked the simple errors caps lock etc and tried to log on to the SQL pages directly on the server with exactly the same result. the system was built by somone else and has not been modified "intentionally" just recently i added a few extra databases to the same server location, could this have caused the problem. to my knowlage (e.g i cant recall changing any settings)


there are one or two extenuation circumstances just recently the whole file directory was transfered from one HDD to another and then back to it's original position now i dont think this altered data but possibly there is some inbuilt security or something, i would most sincearly appreciate any questions or answers about this possibly things i havent mentioned that you need to know, just let me know i will get back to you



thanks in advance

Chris

Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express Locally Or Remotely

Jun 22, 2007

I have read all of the posts regarding this subject as well as 3"Dummies" guides and I keep having the same problems. I have a verysimple multi-user application that has to hit a database. Wecuerrently have this system deployed and it is working fine on adomain based network. We are scaling back and the network we will beusing is now a workgroup not a domain.It should be simple. I have XP boxes (clients) trying to hit the SQLServer Express database on a Windows Server 2003 machine. It is aclosed network so security is not an issue. I am trying to make thisthing wide open. All I want is for the user to be logged in on hisclient machine, run the application, and access/update the databasewithout having to re-authenticate to the SQL server. I want windowsto handle all of the authentication between the XP machines and theServer 2003 machine.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Unable To Connect To Sql Server Express From Virtual Folder

Apr 11, 2008

My situation: I have one virtual folder on a customer's server that hosts a web service which connects to Sql Server Express. This has been working for months.

The connection string that i use is:
(obviously the names have been changed to protect the innocent)
User ID=auser;Password=apassword;Initial Catalog=acatalog;Data Source=0.0.0.0SQLEXPRESS

I have recently added another virtual folder to the server, and it needs to connect to the same sql server. In this case it is a "regular" web site. I have it set up to use the same connection string as the web services site ( I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be the same), however when I try to open the connection ( when I call mySqlConnection.Open(); ), I get get this error:


"SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified"

I am stumped as to why code in one virtual folder has no problem, while the other does. Both virtual and physical folders are on the same machine, and the Sql Server Express is installed on that machine.

The server is a MS Windows Server 2003 machine.

More details as requested.

Thanks,
Kirk

Unable To Connect - SQL Express On Server 2003 From Vista

Nov 19, 2006

Getting error 1326.

I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).

I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.

TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.

I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?

Thanks, John

Unable To Use SSMSE To Connect To SQL Express Server On Secondary IP Address

Apr 28, 2006

I am having trouble to use SSMSE to remotely connect SQL Express server using IPs other than the base IP of the machine.

Machine settings:

(1) Has multiple IP configured. Those IP are accessible remotely

(2) Firewall is not on.



SQL Express server configuration:

(1) TCP/IP and named pipe are on



Browser service state:

(1) running

(2) listening at 0.0.0.0:1434 (UDP)



SSMSE connection results:

(1) with <baseIP><instance>, connects OK

(2) with <otherIP><instance>, connection failed.

Both connections use exactly the same authentication information.



Testing results using telnet:

(1) telnet <baseIP> 1434, OK

(2) telnet <otherIP> 1434, OK



Does SSMSE actually only listen on the base IP even it shows to listen on all the IPs?

Unable To Connect Remotely After Upgrading A SQL Instance From Express To Enterprise

Mar 4, 2007

Problem: I upgraded a SQL Server Express instance to SQL Server Enterprise, but I'm unable to connect to the SQL server from any remote machine. Only local connections work -- and I've verified that Remote Connections are allowed in the SQL Surface Confg. utility.

Scenario: Server1 has an SQL Enterprise edition installed as a default installation. SharePoint Server 2007 was installed later, and during that install a SQL Express edition instance was installed which is part of the standard SharePoint install. That Express instance contains all the SharePoint content databases.

So Server1 has SQL instances:
Server1 <default install running Enterprise>
Server1OFFICESERVER <previously running SQL Express, now upgraded to Enterprise>

After upgrading Server1OFFICESERVER to Enterprise, everything seemed to work fine (i.e. SharePoint works fine). However when I try to connect remotely to Server1OFFICESERVER I can't. I've verified through the SQL Surface configuration tool that remote connections are allowed. I've rebooted the server as well. I've tried connecting remotely using various PCs and various applications (e.g. SQL Server Mgmt Studio, Visual Studio, etc.).

Any other ideas to try?

Cannot Connect W/ Java App But Can Connect W/ .Net App - SQL Server Express 2005

Dec 12, 2006

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.

Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.

These are my values in my Java app web.xml -

<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.

And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

Unable To Connect To SQL Server 2005 Though VBA

May 15, 2008

Hi, I'm not a DBA and our DBA is not available.

I get the following error for my connection string when I try to connect to a specific database on the SQL Server 2005:

Below is the connection string:

cnn = "data source=" & CompanyT & ";driver=VPC-002BALGORD\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename=" & ArInvoice.FilePath & ";username=sa;password=balgord;Trusted_Connection=no"
SQLdb.Open cnn

I get the following error:

[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user. the user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

Mixed mode is set in the Server Security properties (SQL Server authenticaion and Windows Authentication).

I searched googled and everyone says set the authentication to mixed mode... It is set to mixed mode so I'm all out of ideas. I think if there was an error in the connection string it would give me a different error right? I dont know I'm all out of ideas, any help will be greatly appreaciated.

Thank you.

Regards,

Irena V.

Unable To Re-install SQL Server 2005 Express And Also SQL Express Toolkit

Jul 28, 2007

Hi,


I had some issues on my server and had to uninstall .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Express Toolkit. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express and it seemed to be ok.


Then my problems all started when I tried to install SQL Express Toolkit because I needed to install DTS Wizard again, and it errors out and wouldn't let me install it. So I uninstalled everything that's listed above again.


I then tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express again, and on the second from last screen, while its listing all the components and configuring them, I get the following error as it's configuring the last component... which was the SQL Server Database Services.


TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
-----------------------------------------------------------
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."


I tried to re-install the SQL Server Express another 7 times wth no luck.


If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks,
Bill

Mar 6, 2007

I am developing an app in VB.Net 2005, and I installed SQL Server 2005 locally on my machine. My app access multiple databases on SQL and has worked like a charm in the past. Today, when I go to access my app, I receive an error when trying to connect to the SQL database.

"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connection"

As I said before, this is a local install and worked fine until today. I checked the services running and Here is what I have:

SQL Server Integration Services - Running
SQL Server FullText Search - Stopped
SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) - Running
SQL SERVER (MSSQLSERVER) - Stopped <---------- I tried restarting this and it times out
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) - Stopped
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) - Stopped
SQL Server Browser - Stopped
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) - Stopped

I am unable to start any of these services... they all time out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I Can No Longer Connect To My SQL Server Express 2005 From Manager Studio Express

Sep 28, 2006

Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.

I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.

Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Users Are Unable To Connect To SQL Server 2005 Unless They Are In The Sysadmin Group

Nov 21, 2006

We are running SQL Server 2005 in a Windows 2003 domain and I have a situation where some of my users are unable to connect to the SQL Server unless they are a member of the sysadmin group. Any attempts by these users to login result in a login failed,

Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11

Which indicates that it is a valid user who does not have access to this SQL Server.

I have been able to narrow the failures down to the following situation:

Create a user, TestUser1, as a member of 1 domain local group TestGroup1

Give TestGroup1 access to SQL (standard public access to master)

All good. Login succeeds.

Add TestUser1 to another domain local group TestGroup2

Attempt to login to SQL Server -> login failed.

Add the user explicitly -> login failed

Add one of the groups to sysadmin -> login succeeds

It seems that as long as the user is a member of more than one AD group, and none of those groups is a member of the sysadmin server role then the user is unable to login. Obviously having all of the users as sysadmin isn't a workable solution, has anyone seen this issue before?

I have been able to replicate a similar situation in our test domain, but in that case the issue is resolved by adding the users explicitly to SQL Server (still not an ideal solution).

Interestingly, if I run the same test in our test domain but use global groups, it works. But unfortunately the network admin tells me the groups must stay as local.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Daniel Watkins

Can't Connect To SQL 2005 Express With SQL Server Management Studio Express

Mar 10, 2006

I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.

Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
