Connection Failure To SQL Server 2000 In Remote Machine From Application In Windows Server 2003
Dec 25, 2007
Hi!!
I'moving my asp application to a new hosting server.
So when i tried the setup locally with the live DB & application in my test machine...
The DB access is denied when application tries to hit the DB.
DB is in seperate machine with SQL Server 2000 & application(ASP) is in Windows server 2003.....
Kindly help me with your suggestions....on what went wrong?
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like 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.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement. But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?
Hi, I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error. Here is the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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) Here is the Environment: App Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Inside Company's Firewall/ Network Database Server: Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition SQL Server 2000 SP4 Remote Connections to the Server is checked Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433) The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address. I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server). I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP? What do I tell the network admin to change? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Oran
I am trying to install MSDE 2.8 on this OS. When I try to install, I receive the following error: Fatal error setup This setup does not support installing on this operating system
I have problem connecting to a SQL 2000 server that is hosted on a Windows 2003 server. My application uses classic ASP with VB6 components. VB6 components connect to SQL server and return data to ASP application. Everything was working fine when the application and SQL server was hosted on NT machine. Recently we have shifted to Windows 2003 server. Since then we could not establish connection to SQL2000.
I'm using UDL as connection string. IIS and SQL2000 hosted on the same machine with Windows 2003 OS. This seems to be a security issue. Earlier I faced this issue for a .net application which I resloved adding a domain account to both SQL server and IIS directory security. Request your input to solve this problem.
I have an application that is being developed on Visual Studio 2005 (VB) and SQL Express. The application is set up to use the SQL Express on the development computer, and if an Internet or CD install is built, it installs SQL Express as expected. The question is, when it is time to deploy and put the SQL Express database on the 2003 server, how should the install on the server be done and how should we set the database path to the server?
Hi all,I have a Windows 2003 server, which is also a terminal server forapplication, with sql 2000 installed. My company has developed anapplication that uses SQL 2000 as its database. The application is aclient/server one. In each client computer there's a link to theapplication on the server. There is no problem with Windows 98,Windows 2000 pro, Windows xp pro clients, but the windows 95 onescannot log in to the database. The log of the application shows thefollowing error:connection error -2147467259. Cannot open database requested in login'database name'. Login fails.Till a week ago the application was running on a Windows 2000 serverwith SQL 2000 install and the W95 clients had no problem connecting tothe database, so my guess is the error has something to do withWindows 2003 server, but what'causing the error?I tried to install a newer version of MDAC (MDAC 2.5, the last versionof MDAC you can install on W95)but with no success. By the way W95clients have no problem accessing shared folder on the Windows 2003server.Any idea?ThanksMarino
I've tried all I know in an effort to get SQL 2005 Express to allow remote connections on my customer's 2K3 server and I'm not having any luck. I've followed MSKB 914277, including adding the exceptions to their Windows firewall...even disabled the firewall altogether (for testing purposes), and I still can't get remote clients to connect. As suggested by various other posts, I used netstat -an to confirm that SQL is listening on port 1433 for the desired IP on the server.....and saw that it is listening. Here's a snippet:
TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 192.168.0.2:1433 192.168.0.2:1738 ESTABLISHED TCP 192.168.0.2:1738 192.168.0.2:1433 ESTABLISHED TCP 127.0.0.1:1433 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
I can connect to the database locally (i.e. on the 2K3 server itself) using just the IP address .... tried with a DSN, UDL, ODBC, and SSMSE...all of which have no problems (as shown by the two, "ESTABLISHED" entries in the netstat results above which were from running SSMSE locally on the server at the time of the netstat). But if a remote computer on the network tries to connect, they cannot connect. Sorry, I don't have a copy of the error message the clients are getting yet.
I asked The customer's IT to confirm that the clients CAN can "see" the server (i.e. that there wasn't some kind of router or firewall blocking their path) and they sent me a copy of the server's pfirewall.log file. Here is an entry from the file that seems to show that client requests ARE getting to the server:
I'm starting to get in over my head here (I'm a programmer, not a DBA or Net Admin), but doesn't the above suggest that an incoming request came in from .4 on port 1213 and attempted to connect to .2 on port 1433, but the connection was denied or dropped by the server? If so, why? Is this related to another MS KB I read about connection pooling? I'm way over my head here and could use some help. Did I miss something subtle during configuration of SQL Express? Thanks in advance.
My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website. 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. According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"... The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
i have recently started to work with the analysis services and i am having some problems.
i have made a web application that for now just tries to connect to an analysis server.
The server is installed on an xp sp 2 system.
for testing, i used my local computer, which is running also win xp sp2. After deploying, the application can connect to the AS server on the other machine. the problem occurs when i try to deploy the applicatuion on the production server, which is running win 2k3 server on 32 bit. When deploying, i use the same connection string, so it should try to connect to the AS server installed on a win xp sp2 system.
The first thing that came to my mind was to check the MDAC versions, be cause of the message: "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
on my computer, where the application worked ok, the version is MDAC 2.8 SP 1 Windows XP SP 2
on the win2k3 server, the MDAC version is : MDAC 2.8 SP2.... i thought it was the version of the service pack, so o searched for the update of MDAC 2.8 SP1, trying to install mdac 2.8 sp2 to see if i was to see the same error, but i found that mdac 2.8 sp2 is only for win2k3 server, and for win xp is mdac 2.8 sp1, according to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/884103
Now i got confused and have no clues how to make this work...
Hi,Is it possible to install on a Windows server 2003,SQL SERVER 2000 in the folowing configuration :SQL server 7.0 as a default InstanceandSQL server 2000 as a named instance.Thanks for your answer.
I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
My uncle runs a small networking company and has extra licenses for Windows 2003 Server as well as SQL Server 2000. Since I just graduated from college and have started working as a database programmer (for a different company) I'd like to setup a small server at home to learn more about SQL (as well as networking, but SQL is my primary concern). I know I can setup SQL Server 2000 on my main PC, but I'd still like to set everything up in a server environment.
So, what I'm wondering is if any books (or web sites?) exist that walk you through setting up Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I've actually set these up before (it's not very complicated) but I'm not sure if I did it the "correct" way.
Ideally if any books exist on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf that would be even better.
We got SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3 running on Windows 2003 Standard Edition server.
Now, we would like to apply windows 2003 SP2 to the Operating System.
We are concerned that whether windows 2003 SP2 is compatible with SQL server 2000 (SP3)?
I was looking at the application compatibility chart for Windows 2003 SP2.Among them Microsoft SQL Server Standard (2000) was listed but with no Service pack details. And also does Standard means standard edition there?
My Question - Is windows 2003 server SP2 compatible with SQL Server 2000 (SP3) Standard Edition? And what if I plan to apply SP4 to Sql Server ?

Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?

I have a SQL Server 2014 installation on a server (CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL).I have SQL Server 2014 management studio installed on local server called Pootle.I have gone through the configuration on server (CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL) inc the following:
(1) I have set up a user on CHRIS-PCCHRISSQL called sqladminuser at server level with the Server Roles of 'Public' and 'SysAdmin'
(2) The computers are both on the same homegroup.
(3) On Chris-PC , I have opened up the firewall port 1433 as Inbound Rule
(4) On Chris-PC, Within SQL Server Configuration Manager,the 'SQL Server Network Configuration for Protocols for CHRISSQL' have been set up as follows:
- The TCP protocol is enabled - I have set up IP2 as follows:

I'm having a big problem with a SQL 2K5 cluster (using standard edition). I can get onto the box and connect to the sql server locally fine. However when I try to connect remotely I get errors.
Let's call the two sides of the cluster, CL1 and CL2 and the "virtual server" is CL3. Locally I can connect without any problem at all to the SQL server, but I just can't connect to it from any remote machine.
The server in question is instance name LMS_PRD running on CL3, port 10051. TCP/IP is definitely enabled for local and remote connections (I have checked this in the SQL server surface area configuration). I can connect locally without any problem. Also, locally, if I do,
telnet CL3 10051
it connects fine
From a SQL 2000 box - when I try to connect from sql query analyzer, I get
"Unable to connect to server LMS_PRD Server Msg 17 ... SQL server does not exist or access denied"
Client network utility shows server alias - LMS_PRD, TCP/IP, CL3LMS_PRD,10051
[I can connect to other SQL 2005 servers OK from this same server using this same method]
On this box, when I do telnet CL3 10051 , I get "Connecting to CL3...Could not open a connection to host on port 10051 : Connect failed"
[When I do a similar one for another SQL 2005 box, "telnet U01 10051", it connects fine]
From another SQL 2005 box - when I try to register the server, 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: TCP provider, error 0 - No connection could be made because thew target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)"
IN the SQL native client configuration it shows alias name - CL3LMS_PRD, server=CL3LMS_PRD, protocol tcp, parameters 10051
Again if I do telnet CL3 10051, I get the error above.
From this same box I can register another SQL 2005 server without any problem and do the telnet to it OK
Just to emphasise:
(a) The SQL server configuration manager shows that TCP/IP is enabled, and that 10051 is the port (in IPALL, TCP port). Also I have checked the SQL server errorlog - it is definitely using 10051 as the port.
(b) The SQL server surface area configuration shows under local and remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes selected (I've tried both this and the using tcp/ip only option)

Hello ALL I have configured a website on a windows 2003 server, while its database is residing on a remote server with sqlserver 2000 database. In the connection string, I use the server IP address for the remote SQL server, and when the website is browsed, i get an error something similar to the one below: 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) If I test the same website on windows XP, it will connect to the remote server without a problem. Can Anyone please give me a tip about the windows operating system, what should I do to over come this? Thanks in advance regards, Mykhan
We got SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3 running on Windows 2003 server.
Now, we would like to apply windows 2003 SP1 to the Operating System.
We are concerned that whether windows 2003 SP1 is compatible with SQL server 2000 (SP3)?
I was looking at the application comaptibility chart for Windows 2003 SP1.Among them SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 3a was listed but not the Standard Edition.
My Question - Is windows 2003 server SP1 is compatible with SQL Server 2000 (SP3)?
