How To Configure Connection String For Remote Server?

Dec 5, 2006

Sorry for the newbie question, but....

I have developed a website on my local development machine. When I create the connections string VS automatically creates a path to my local hard drive inside the string.

Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMikeMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesPostAlertzApp_DataPADatabase.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

However, when I deploy this website to a remote server, SQLExpress tries to attach to the file using the wrong path. How do I fix this?

Your patience is appreciated...

Change Local Connection String On Remote Server

Jun 19, 2007

Hello,

I have searched every post and tried every connection string there but can't figure out how to connect to my database on my remote server. I am using Visual Developer 2005 Express Edition in C# and uploading it to a Windows server running asp.net 2.0. The domain has not resolved yet.

I am so new to this and have followed many tutorials step by step but none of them address this issue. They just show how to upload it to the server.

Do I need to use the SQL server provided by my host or can the database stay in the App_Data folder?



My local connection string works locally:



<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />



When I uploaded to my server I changed SQLEXPRESS to (local) as advised in the forum.

<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />



When I debug a page I get the <customErrors mode="Off"/>
error message even thought I have already set it in my remote web.config file which may be causing problems itself:



<configuration>

<appSettings/>



<connectionStrings>

<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>



<system.web>

<customErrors mode="Off" />



<compilation debug="false" />



<authentication mode="Windows" />



</system.web>



</configuration>



Thanks for any help you can offer. I wish I could find someone to hire to do this part for me or teach me how over the phone. Any suggestions?

Configure A Server To Allow Remote Connections?

Nov 3, 2007

I already asked this question at the MSDN forums, but I'm asking it here because I got conflicting answers.

I want to configure my server to allow remote connections. For some unknown reason, I'm unable to do this with the Surface Configuration Tool. My understanding is that I can accomplish this using the sp_configure stored procedure. Is this correct? If so, can someone please give me an example of the correct syntax? BTW, I'm running SQL Server 2005 on winxp pro sp2.

Thanks in advance.

Remote MSDE Connection String?

Jun 26, 2004

For a SQL Server 2000 connection string I usualy use the following format:

server=somewhere.com;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB

or:

server=66.33.11.123;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB


However, now I am dealing with a remote MSDE database. What is the format to connect to a remote MSDE database? Is it:

server=<IPADDRESS><INSTANCENAME>;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB


Where <IPADDRESS> is the Ip address of the remote machine and <INSTANCENAME> is the MSDE instance name. Is this correct? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Help With How To Configure SQL Server 2005 To Allow Remote Connections

Nov 14, 2006

Hi there! I've been trying for several days now to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections, apparently, with no luck.
I always have this error message: Microsoft 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.
I've followed the instructions at this link -> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech, but I have been having the same problems.
I've already adjusted my firewall settings.
What should I do? 
Please help me...

Configure Sql Server 2005 For Remote Hookup?

Nov 15, 2007

Ok. Here is what I need to do: several computers on the intranet need to use a client program to access data from the server (a desktop)

Here is what is going on:

1. I am using Visual Studio 2005 c#.net 2.0
2. Sql Server Express 2005
3. I don't have IIS set up
4. The database is being shared from the c drive on the server (not sophisticated at all, but this is a one man operation!)

Questions:

1. Is IIS an absolute must to make this happen?
2. If not, a user pointed out that I can't use UNF to access the database. How do I set up the connection string to access the db on the server?

This is my basic connection string (local)

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:MonzaDBMonzaDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;Asynchronous Processing=true"

Thanks for any help on this subject. I know basically nothing about NETWORK programming and database administration!

Cannot Configure SQL Server Express 2005 For Remote Connections

Aug 15, 2006

Hello. I have SQLEXPRESS 2005 installed on my laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have an application that can connect to the local instance with no problem. The other day, I tried to configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 for a remote connection from my desktop. To date, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

I have followed the instructions posted at various locations on the internet, but to no avail. While I can configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 to allow TCP/IP connections, I have been unable to restart the server.

Here is the pertinent snippet from the error log:

<time> Server A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.
<time> Server Error: 26024, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2006-08-14 21:02:27.18 Server Server failed to listen on 'any' <ipv4> 0. Error: 0x277a. To proceed, notify your system administrator.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0xa.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0x1.
<time> Server Error: 17826, Severity: 18, State: 3.
<time> Server Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
<time> Server Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

I have a feeling this problem is due to the way my system is configured, not necessarily how my SQLEXPRESS 2005 is configured. My laptop and desktop are connected via a wireless router, and both machines are running Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I've added sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the exceptions list for the Worm protection on the laptop, i.e., the server machine. There's not a setting at the router that would prevent the server from re-starting, is there?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Connection String For Remote Database Connectivity(SQL Server2000)

Jun 12, 2007

hai,
I am working on ASP.NET 2003 with SQLServer2000. My application requires to be connected to the Database which is there in my Headoffice.
My SQLServerName is "MyDBServerTestDB"
Database Name is "WebTO", UserID="******" and Password="******"
My Remote Server IP Address is "192.168.1.2" and its Static IP is "58.93.61.235"
I have specified the Connection string for my Remote Server as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
                               (or)
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB,1433;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"           (1433 is the Port number of the Remote SQLServer)
but it is giving the error " SQL Server does not exist or access denied".
if i execute the same application at my Headoffice (Remote Server) by changing the Connection string as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=192.168.1.2TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
then, it is working fine.
Can anyone tell me where i went wrong or what i have to specify in my Connection string so that i can access my Remote Database Server.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas.

SQL Server 2008 :: Connection Manager Not Using Connection String Value

Feb 19, 2015

I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.

MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.

The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.

(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.

SQL Server Losing Connection When Connection From A Remote Server

Jul 12, 2006

Hi

I have two machines, the one has Windows 2003 server and the other has Windows Xp Pro on.

The 2003 one has SQL Standard Edition 2000 on where as the XP Pro has MSDE 2000.

I'm trying to run a windows based app from the 2003 server and it connects to a database on the XP Pro PC.

When running the application i keep getting the following exception:

"A Transport-Level error has occured when sending the request to the server (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available)

After using Preformance monitor on the XP machine it seems that when the app starts and the user logins in it make a SQL connection but then the connection is lost then the exception pops up. then i click continue and try it again then it works, then a couple of secs when using the system it pops up again. The Performance Monitor Test shows that the SQL connection keep being lost. The network is fine. its has something to do with SQL and Named Pipes and stuff.



When running the app on the Xp machine and the Connection is made to the 2003 machine there is no problem.

There are other connection made to the Windows XP Machine but i doubt that it affects the app.

The Windows firewall is off as well.

Please can anyone help.

DSN Connection To Remote SQL Server

Jun 3, 2007

Hi,
I've worked with SQL Server plenty but never in this specific manner.  Hoping someone can shed some light.I have a webform on web server A that needs to talk to a SQL server database that web server B accesses via its web application. I do not haveany privelidged access to server B or the sql server it uses (no FTP to webserver, no remote access via Enterprise Manager to the SQL server).  The Admin of Server B told me that I can use a DSN connection to talk to the SQL server database that the web app on server B uses.  He emailed me the names of the SQL database tables AND a copy of the web.config from server B which shows the DSN implemented like this:<appSettings>    <add key="dsn" value="data source=sql3.domainname.net;database=dbname;User Id=dbuserid;password=dbpw;" />    <add key="default_language" value="en" />    <add key="error_email_to" value="someone@domainname.com" />    <add key="baseHref" value="http://www.mysite.com/" />    <add key="website_name" value="$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" /></appSettings>
I was planning to run my webforms on Server A where I do have FTP, Control Panel, etc.So, I wrote this code into my VB.NET codebehind file.
Dim oODBCConnection As OdbcConnectionDim sConnString As String = _"Driver={SQL Server};" & _"Server=sql3.domainname.net;" & _"Database=dbname;" & _"Uid=dbuserid;" & _"Pwd=dbpw"oODBCConnection = New Odbc.OdbcConnection(sConnString)oODBCConnection.Open()... commands to access data and load something into a control on a webformoODBCConnection.Close()
When I attempt to run the webform in my browser from Server A. I'm getting this error:ERROR [08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ERROR [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).The error is EXACTLY the same whether I place the appSettings section in server A's web.config or leave them out.I have obvious questions about the error like...Might sql3.domainname.net simply be refusing communication requests that don't come from the Server B domain?Might the sql3.domainname.net be setup so that I need to use another protocol (not tcp/ip)?Might my code need to be changed to support this type of connection (i.e. I didn't code it right)?I spent some time reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328306/en-us but I'm at a loss as to what the best course is to take for debugging this.Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Remote Connection To The Server?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi,

Just want to know what I need to check to make sure the remote connection is configure properly other than "Enable the remote connection" for the server? what ports that need to open up if firewall is running on the Server Machine?

I tested with a remote user, it seems the application just hung there and wait.. wait.. it seems something block the connection.

No error message, If I ping from the remote PC to the server, the response time is in acceptable range.

Thanks!

How To Configure Connection Pooling

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,Is there a way to control the connection pools using SQL Server 2000? Iknow how to alter the connection string to dothis(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconconnectionpoolingforsqlservernetdataprovider. asp), but I amlooking for a setting in SQL Server that allows me ultimate control over allconnections to the DB. eg: I'd like all connection pools to timeout after5min of inactivity, set the maximum pool size, etc. I am assuming that thereis some part of the GUI that allows this, or maybe even some (ugh) registryediting! ;-)Thanks,Lance

(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)I have turned off my firewall and network configuration for sql server and its also done as tcp/ip and named pipes…though it is not working …
 The surprise is if I run using IDE its running , in the same machine after hosting it is not running,  where the db is in another machine. What could be the problem? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Regards,Naveen

Local VB.NET App Connection To Remote SQL Server

Nov 1, 2007

I know this is strickly not a website question, but dunno where else to post...To remotely admin and monitor some functions of the website, I wish to use a local application to connect to the MSSQL DB which is held on the remote webhosting serverI have the following code: Dim StrSQLUN As String = "[UN]"
Dim StrSQLPW As String = "[PW]"
Dim StrServer As String = "[IP][INSTANCE]"
Dim StrDB As String = "[DB]"
Dim strTimeOut As String = "Connection Timeout=0;"
Dim pStrSQLConn As String = "Server=" & StrServer & ";Database=" & StrDB & ";User Id=" & StrSQLUN & ";Password=" & StrSQLPW & ";" & strTimeOut

Dim sqlConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(pStrSQLConn)
If sqlConn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then sqlConn.Open()
This has basically been take from the existing code on the website, but changing to the server details. I had just started dev'ing this app when the admins decided to move the SQL server over to a different server. It was working on the old one, but the new one doesn't. It just times out after whatever time you put in the timeout variable. 0=unlimited, and so just sits there.I am also using the MSSQL Server Management Studio locally to connect to the same database, and although slow, does connect after about a minute or so. I thought they would be using the same type of underlying connection to access the server and database? Is this correct?
Can they put restrictions in place for this specific sort of data access?Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue??Thanks for any helpAdam.

Connection To Database On A Remote Server

Nov 29, 2007

Here is my environment and problem:
 I have VWD 2005 and SSE 2005 installed on my local machine. I also have these installed on my Windows 2003 Server. I developed my database using SSE on my local machine but pointing to directory on my server. I have been developing the web app using VWD on my server. I now want to use VWD on my local machine and point to the project on my server. I am able to open the project. In order to access the database in the "Database Explorer" I use as my "Data Source", "MS SQL Server (SQL Client) and it attaches fine and I can see my tables and data.
 Now for my problem:
When I try to run the application "VIew in Browser", which login.aspx page is my first page, I get the page, but it doesn't inherit my master page which has the basic navigation and layout. Then after I try to login I get this message.
The file "W:BBAppApp_DataTimeTracker.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file W:BBAppApp_DataTimeTracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Here is a portion of my web.config file for the connection string.<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|TimeTracker.mdf;User Instance=true" />
My website I started with the source code for the TimeTracker start kit and have added more pages and changed the sitemap.
In general I guess I need to know how to handle using VWD on my local machine, but accessing the project on the server. The reason I'm doing this is because my colleague needs to be able to access the web app too to add pages to the site.
 Thank you for any help.
