Cannot Connect To Local SQL Server 2005 Dev.
Oct 29, 2007
During my install of SQL Server 2005 Developers edition, I got an error that Reporting Services could not connect to SQL Server. After completing the installation I was unable to connect to the local service using an domain account (that's an admin on my machine) or the SA account. I've retried uninstalling and reinstalling numereous times and no success. I was able to login to the IP addess with the SA account only.
I did set the config for remote access...
Shared Memory is Enabled
Named Pipes is Enabled with Pipe Name = \.pipesqlquery
TCP/IP is Enabled, Listen All, IP Address active and enabled for 127.0.0.1 and network address, TCP Dynamic ports not set
When I login with an IP address and an local admin account I get this error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)
When I try to login to the machine name with a local admin account I get this 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)
When I try to login to the machine name with the SA account I get this 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)
I can login with the SA account using the IP address.
I can login with a local admin account for 127.0.0.1
Any ideas what's going on? Why doesn't uninstalling and reinstallingh fix this? Is there a tool that will purge the registry of all remnants after an uninstall? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition from my company's DVD. It was installed with the setting of using both Integrated windows authenitication as well as basic named authenication. I installed all the options too: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server compact edition, and Integration Services. When I look at services there are: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Browser. All of which are running. Something that took me offguard was the installation did not ask me to provide an SA password. Other than that, the install looked like it went good.
I was able to connect to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 using the SQL Server Management Studio. I could connect with SA, or connect with Integrated Windows Authenication. Whoohoo. Off and running! As a matter of fact, for the SA account I could use any password and it would still log me in.
First thing I did was I went in to the copy wizard to attempt to copy a database from a server on our network to my local box. First it asked me for the remote server. Then when I specified my local instance in the wizard, the wizard complained that my local instance was NOT SQL Server 2005. Doh! This I didn't understand. I figured maybe I need to check for MS updates. Sure enough, I found that ther was a SP2 and then a hot-fix for that SP2. I applied both. Now I cannot connect from SQL Server Management studio to my local instance of SQL Server 2005 database server. I get the following error:
"An error 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)"
However, I went in to see what other services I could connect to, and here's the results:
Analysis Services : OK!
Reporting Services (Windows Auth/Basic/Forms) : NG "The reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
SQL Server Compact Edition : NG "The database cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File Name = CCG092 ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)
Integration Services : OK!
I can connect to other SQL Server databases on our network. However, just not my local one. No one on the network can connect to me either.
I even turned off my windows firewall and still no luck connecting to my own.
So something really went wrong when I applied SP2, however, admittedly from the error message when I tried to use the copy wizard, something was probably already wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a SQL Server 2005 instance which resides on a dedicated server hosted by a third party. I am able to connect to this server through my local SQL Management Studio, however, my local ASP.NET 2.0 web application cannot connect. I get the error below. The connection string I use is formatted as...
Connection String:
Server=thesever;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;database=mydatabase
Error:
Failed to connect to database: 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 hosting providr claims that the SQL Server configuration settings are as they should be as fars as TCP/IP and Named Pipes are concerned. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hello,
i've developed a website using VB.NET, and SQL SERVER 2K, in my dev environment works properly (SQL Server and WEB SERVER are in the same machine).
When i put everything in the target machine, where the webserver is but not the sql, i get the following error:
Sql SErver does not exist or access denied
I've tried so many ways to do this, ODBC, ADO.NET, OLEDB.....and everything ends in the same error.
Also if i try to connect with ODBC (from odbc manager) it seems to work (test connection succesfull), but in asp.net nothing works.
I've tried to access the server with:
INSTANCE_NAME
SERVER_NAMEINSTANCE_NAME
IP,PORT
I think (they are checking this), that the auth mode is set to MIXED MODE.
Any idea to save my life?? ;)
Thanks ppl

Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.

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?

I have been creating applications using SQL Express and uploading them to my hoster. No problems there. Now, I feel I'm ready to the next step and would like to start using my hoster SQL Server. I have created a database in their server, now how do I move my created SQL Express Database to their regular SQL Server? Is there a way to run a tool against my local DB and create a script to run in my hoster? What is the best practise here?
Your help is appreciated.

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

I have just recently installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer edition. I have installed SP2.
Today when I try to connect via Management Studio, I get the following 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I installed it as a default instance.
I recently added a login with dbo privileges. I have tried logging in with that sql account and also with windows authentication to no avail.

Good day, my apologies if thes question has been asked before, but I can't find anything with the exact same situation...
Just managed to successfully install SQL Express 2005 (in place of MSDE2000), kept the same database, which upgraded without a problem. I can connect to my local SQL server, but only if I use my full PC name, I get 'SQL server not found out access denied' and 'Specified SQL server not found' whenever I try with . or (local) or localhost.
My main issue is that I have a million and one batch files for all the features I use most to simplify my work, which now will not run as they all specify (local) instead of my PC name. Looking on the MS Support pages, I've tried various different options, none of which seem to make any difference at all.
Here is my current setup:
SQL Express 2005 - version 9.00.2047.00 - (installed with 'Default Instance', not 'Instance: SQLExpress')
Win XP Pro SP3 - version 3264
All of the following are enabled in 'SQL Server Config Manager' - Protocols for MSSQLSERVER:
Shared Memory
Named Pipes
TCP/IP
VIA
I also attempted to install the latest MDAC (version 2.8), and it tells me these components are already part of SP2.
Could anybody tell me if I am missing something, or need to install / update anything further? I am at a dead end with this now.
Thanks in advance,
Andre Greeff

I installed 2005 Developer edition on a local workstation in our lab. I can connect to a network SQL Server with it just fine. But I do not have a local instance of SQL Server on this workstation.
How do I create a local instance of SQL Server? (box is WinXPPro-SP3)
After accepting the defaults for this installation, I noticed that there were no "local" instances of SQL server available, whereby I could go out and create my own test databases locally or copy a few tables from a production server over to my local box for testing. I'm looking through the books online and do not see (maybe I missed it) the steps to creating a local instance for setting up a workstaiton as a 'test' environment.
Assistance is appreciated.

Hi all,I having problems connecting to my local database through my asp.net site. I'm able to connect to the database using Query Analyzer with the following connection properties:Server: localSql Server Authentication: checkedUser Name: saand the Password is left blankThis is the connection string i'm using on the website:Data Source=local;Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;User ID=sa;Password=;This is the error i'm getting: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) Any suggestions appreciated.Thanks

I open II services.
From this point I right click on information services and clicked "connect to computer" and located mine. When I hit "ok", I got "This computer is not running Internet Information Services Ver 4 or higher".
IIS6 is starting, it just won't connect to local computer.
Previously someone said to post the event logs. I can't find them. Where are they??
Thanks
All help is appreciated.
Thanks

hello,
Sql server type: database engine
server name:
authentication: sql server authentication
login: sa
password: xxxxx
I remember the server name being sqlexpress (I think that was the default name during the install).
OR are they asking for my computer name? because I tried that also and it gave me an error saying "the default installation doesn't allow remote connections"
