The error states:
Additional Information:
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 unthe default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
How do I correct this issue?
Thanks,

I know there have been many posts made on this subject; however, despite the resources available, I have not been able to get this to work! I've spent time working on this here and there over the last couple of months only resulting in frustration. I am finally posting to solicit help for my situation to figure out what is wrong with my SQL Server or firewall configuration.
Two machines connected to a router, one wireless, one wired. Both have SQL Server Express and the Management Studio tools installed. From either machine I can connect to its local SQL Server Express instance.
I have enabled Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. (BTW what is VIA?)
I have added sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my Windows Firewall exceptions. I have tried disabling Windows Firewall. One of the machines is configured as DMZ in the router configuration.
Please, someone offer up some brilliant diagnostic steps I am missing to expose what is wrong in my setup and make this work... Thank you!

Hi all, ive got a problem creating a sql connection.
Lets start from the beginning. I open Visual Studio, create a new empty website and then go to add a new SQL Database (new item > SQL Database). It asks me if i want to put this into the App_Data folder (which i choose 'yes' to), and then this error comes up...
I then decided to try a website template i found that i know works (because i got it running on Visual Studio at work), and this error comes up when i try to build the site...#
Heres a snippet of my machine.config...
Sorry about all the screenshots but im new to sql connections etc. Its all works fine at work and i can add a new database connection etc, but on my Home machine (Vista Ultimate, Visual Studio 2005 Pro, SQL Express).
Im sure its something to do with the machine.config, but i dont know how to rebuild it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been working for a few weeks on a local SQL server (express) on my computer all worked ok, until 2 days ago I got the following 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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Where can I find the setting for remote connections? Also any idea why this happened?

Hi,
I have been for years using the following code locally in native ASP (except different UID and PWD and file path for the msado15.dll) with SQL Server 2000 on XP to do my development and then I upload to the web site later (uses different objConn etc when live). I've now tried to use the same for SQL Server Express and Vista and always get the "does not exist or access denied" error ( 2147467259).
I only want to use SQL Server locally from the machine I'm developing on as I upload the tested "ASP" code to the server which runs it. The SQL Server Browser is running and I have checked the Firewall exclusions for sqlservr.exe. Also I installed it with out Windows Logon (same as I had for SQL Server 2000).
Any ideas, I tried using the Data Source=localhost instead of explicitly defing the path except that had no affect either, I also changed the rshstest_data.mbf to rshstest.mbf as well also to no affect as there appears a difference with this in 2000 and Express?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks..

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 searched on google but did not find any solution. Anyone know about that, please help me.
Hello, I know this has been covered many times but I just can't get an answer that applies to my situation. - SQL Server is on different machine.- I need to connect to SQL Server with SQL authentication. (Not a Windows account)- I CAN connect through Server Explorer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CAN run stored procedures through the Query Analyzer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CANNOT connect by the browsing ASP.NET applicationI have tried the connection string in the Web.Config and at the page level but keep getting messages such as Login failed for user 'User' or sometimes "Not associated with a trusted Connection"In Web.Config I have:<authentication mode="None" />
On the page I have:Dim strConn As String = "database=servername;initial catalog=databasename;user id=User;password=password"Dim conn As New SqlConnection(strConn)conn.Open()I always get an error at conn.Open()I have spent too many hours playing around with this - any suggestions?? Please!!By telling it to connect as User the ASPNET account does not have to be created in SQL Server correct?Thanks for any help!!
With SQL Server 7, I could connect to a "local" server
driver={SQL Server};server={Local};uid=sa;pwd=password;
with SQL Server 2K it seems to need the computer name
driver={SQL Server};server=MachineNameInstanceName;uid=sa;pwd =password;
How can I replace "MachineNameInstanceName" by "{Local}"

Hi,
I am hoping you will be of assistance to me and provide a little advice on what exactly is possible using SQL Express / SQL Server 2005 with regards to remotely connecting to a server.
I am a final year undergraduate student studying computing sciences in the UK. As a final year project I am attempting to create a client-server database, where the client (a WM5 PDA) can connect to an SQL server hosted on a different machine (a PC). However, I must be able to connect to the server when the PDA is being used on any Wi-Fi connection.
Basically I want the PDA to be able to connect to a database kept on the PC at home when you're out and about using the PDA's wi-fi.
Is this possible? If so, could you explain in 'dummy' terminology how one would go about this?
As my university is part of the MS Academic Alliance I have access to VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 for this project.
Many thanks for your time and I eagerly await your responses!

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a SQL server on a deferent machine using ASP.Net written in C#. The machine on which the SQL server reside dose not have the ASPNET user and the authentication is falling. Any ideas on how to connect using a different User. I changed the ASP.Net service on my machine to run as a deferent user MyUser, which is a domain user that have access to the server machine?
Note: We can not change the privileges on the server side.

Can someone point me at an article that tells how to allow the
ASP.net worker process to connect, via windows authentication, to a
remote sql server instance ?
I changed the login password on my computer today, and now I cannot connect to the SQL Server instance I have on that same machine. I am using Windows Authentication. I would think that, if I can log on to my computer, I would be able to connect to the database, since I have been "authenticated" by windows but, that does not appear to be the case. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

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>

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 first installed SQL Server 2005 and after that SQL Express 2005. In machine.config I set the LocalSqlServer, needed for membership and stuff, to my SQL Server (using aspnet_regsql.exe tool). But because I saw some interesting articles with sample code that use .mdf files I also installed SQL Express.But the problem is that every time I want to execute something against .mdf file or want to see the tables in server explorer I get this error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.I also stopped SQL Server process but that didn't do the trick. What do I have to do to get these 2 working on my laptop?

View 4 Replies View RelatedEverything 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?

Can I install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on the same server where I already have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition?
Doing this also includes replacing .Net Framework 1.1 with 2.0, could that cause any disturbances to the already existing SQL Server 2000 ?

I have an SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition installed. My machine has a Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Visual Studio 2008.
My application is already working with Sql Server Standard Edition but I need to test it with SQL Express 2005.
If I install SQL Server Express 2005 in the same machine will it cause any damage to my Standard Edition already installed ????
That is can I install both SQL Server Express 2005 and Standard in the same machine ????
How can I address the different instances of SQL Server ????
Thanks in advance
