I have just purchased a Win2003 server from 1and1 and they supply it with SQL Express 2005 per-installed...
I have an ASP.NET application, that I have had running perfectly well locally and on a different VPS with no problems? I have just uploaded my site (The SQL database is in the App_Data folder off the root of the .NET website) and received this 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to resolve this please, I am very much a novice when it comes to administering SQL on the server

When I export a report which has one of its columns as quanity, whose value is -1/0 which denotes (dozens/pieces), I get an error #DIV/0!..Will making two seperate columns for the dozens and pieces help or is there any other way to avoid this error being displayed in the report?
Running sql server 2000 sp4 on an 8 year old Server and a shaky SAN. We have had 3 major outages (corrupted databases) and they are finally biting the bullet and ordering a new Server. The new server will not be in place for about 9 days so until then... limping along with what we have. Is there any way to have SQL Server send an email alert when a specific error occurrs and is logged in the SQL log? These are the two errors that I want to alert on.. "Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2" or "I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset"
My users complain that they cant run a CLR function. I am told that it cant get access to the local file system. I do not how to code these so from SSIS is there any way to let the users gain access to this. If this is a permission issue what is the lease privilege that I can configure for this to work?
I can't delete records for a SQL Server table when I attached the table to Microsoft Access 97. I time out when I try to delete the record. However I can query the table.
I use the standard ODBC setup, do I need to do anything else beside using the standard Access link.

I have an application that creates a new database during installation,and I've noticed some strange behavior. Once I've created thedatabase, I am able to immediately create tables and populate lookupdata, provided I remain connected to the server. If, however, Idisconnect and attempt to reconnect immediately, I'll get an errorsaying that my login is invalid for the new database.I can get around this by having my code simply wait 5 seconds beforeattempting to reconnect, but I'm curious to see if anybody here cangive an explaination for why this is happening. Here is a bit ofpseudo code to explain what I'm seeing:open new connectioncreate databasecreate tablespopulate tablesclose connection// open new connection /* can't do this yet, as it would break */for (int a=0; a<5; a++){Thread.Sleep(2000)try{open new connectionbreak;}catch{Debug("still waiting...");}}Running my version of this code, I'll see that "still waiting..."message go past 2-3 times before SQL Server wakes up and realizes thatI'm allowed to connect to it. Anybody know why?Thanks,Jason KesterExpat Software Consulting Serviceshttp://www.expatsoftware.com/---Get your own Travel Blog, with itinerary maps and photos!http://www.blogabond.com/

I am attempting to connect to a database that has been uploaded to my server from my webpages on the server. This is the connection string that is currently used: connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Restaurants.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" When attempting to connect to the database I receive this error message: 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) I realize that I cannot make a remote connection using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but cannot find the proper connection string for it to connect to the uploaded database.

If there is any other information required so that this problem can be solved, please ask for it. Thank you in advance, Me

Ok I have several sites on a server that have connected to databases on a different server for a long. Out of the blue today none of the sites on the server can connect to any databases on the other server. However, sites on other servers can connect to databases on the same db server.This is the message I get: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)The database server runs SQL Server 2000 not 2005 I can connect to the database from desktop (with an asp.net application or sql server management studio), I can ping the database server fine from the production web server, but my applications can't connect for some reason. There is nothing in the event log to suggest a problem, any ideas what could be causing this?
Hello, I have posted awhile ago about this issue, but after taking the advice and trying to get help from GoDaddy, nothing has worked yet. I am using the user login control, and then I changed the connection string in the web config file according to what Go Daddy's help file said, making sure to make proper server, id, and password names. It still won't go through, can anyone help?
I am new learner of ASP.NET and coding in C#.I am not able to connect the SQL database.I have written the code for connection of database but to write the connection string web.config file is neccessary which is not apearing in my application. Please help me .Here is code I have written.

I recently uninstalled SQL Server due to connection issues I started having. I could start the DB and connect/edit tables in Ent Mgr etc, but all the sudden, none of my code could make DB connections.
So, after reinstalling now nothing works. I cannot even connect in Ent. Manager. I went to Administrative Tools->Services to make sure it was running, and SQLSERVER isn't even listed under services. What happened? Is there another step after installing SQL Server I missed to get the service up and going. Do I need to do something in ODBC connections?
Hello I am new to the ASP.NET project and using Microsoft ASP.Net Web Matrix. When I try to connect to an Access Database it is no problem, but do I try to set up an connection with a SQL or MSDE database there is a problem.

What can be the problem. My MSSQL Server is running perfect.

A newbie needing some guidance. We have SQL running on our Windows 2003 server. When I connect via the Enterprise manager I have two instances of SQL running.
SRV01ACT7 (Windows NT) SRV01WEBAPP (Windows NT)
When I click on the ACT instance I get the following error: A connection could not be established to SRV01/ACT7
Reason: Login Failed for user xxxxadministrator. Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties.
I only get the message when I try to connect to the SRV01ACT. The connection to SRV01WEBAPP works fine.
I checked with SQL server manager and both instances are running and no one has reported any problems connecting to either one of them.
The way it acts, its as if SQL server has lost the ability to authorize a connection via the windows account. As if it has lost its associatoin to the administrator account. So while the instance still runs and is functional, I just can't connect to it and manage it.
I have connected via remote desktop from a WinXP machine and the server console. Both end up with the same error.
Can Someone give me step by step instructions on how to correct this?
Update: I got it working. I had to create an odbc connection on my machine (guess I forgot to do that this time).
I copied a SQL 2005 database from another machine (detached it first. I can connect directly in SFT SQL Server Mgmt Studio, but I cannot connect from VFP using SQLCONNECT(). I've overlooked something. My login is the db_owner and everything else. Any ideas? SQL Server is running on the same machine that I have VFP9 on. It is setup for both SQL Server and Windows Authentication and I can connect to every other database I have attached.
I opened SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and tried to connect. In the Connect to Server dialog box, when I go to the Server Name dropdown and browse for my database server on the network, the server is not in the list. (A different SQL Server 2000 database server does show up there.) I tried manually entering the server name (and password, etc) but it doesn't connect.
When I go to the server, the db is running and apps that use it work fine. I can ping the server, and I can map a drive to it.
I can't connect using Visual Studio 2008 either. When I try to create a SqlDataSource in Visual Studio the db server isn't in the dropdown list. Also, when I manually create a connection string it doesn't connect.
