Problems With Connecting To The ASPNET Database After Installing SQL Server Express

Nov 2, 2007



I am having problems connecting to the database. I am trying to use Membership API and for some reason it will no longer connect to the database. I previously had Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and it worked just fine, until I tried to install MS SQL Express. I have tried the aspnet_regsql and sqlcmd InstallCommon.sql and both times I received a named pipe error. I look at the configuration and it said named pipes enabled.

I eventually gave up after trying for two days and removed MS SQL Express, but now I am still getting the same error. I tried to uninstall all of the SQL editions and reinstall the MSDE that comes with VS 2005, but I am getting the same error.

When checking the ASP.NET Web Application and testing the provider I receive the following error:
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.

The security tab gives you the following error:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.

Running the sqlcmd in the command prompt I receive the following error:
Sqlcmd: Error: Connection failure. SQL Native Client is not installed correctly. To correct this, run SQL Server Setup.

I just Visual Studio to work correctly again.

Thanks,
R

Java App Connecting To SQL Server 2005 Express Database

Oct 4, 2006

Hey All,

I am having a problem connecting to a database I have with a java app I am creating for my senior project. I am using the latest MS JDBC for connecting to the SQL Server.

Below is the code I am trying to run:

try {
ds.setIntegratedSecurity(true);
ds.setServerName("localhost\SQLEXPRESS");
ds.setDatabaseName("*databasename*");

con =ds.getConnection();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

The ds and con variables are declared and initialized correctly. The error I am getting now is this:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "*databasename*" requested by the login. The login failed.

Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?

Windows App Cannot Access Database When Silently Installing SQL Server Express 05

Jul 6, 2007

I have a windows app I am deploying by CD along with SQL Server - when I manually installed sql server my app can access the db (named instance, local system, mixed mode). I used the exact same settings to do an unattended install for sql express and it does not work. All the settings in the db look the same. Does anyone know what it could be?



Thanks.

Connecting SQL Server Express 2005 To A Microsoft Access 97 Database

Nov 3, 2006

I want to use SQL Server to query an Access Database with about 40,000 rows of data. If possible, I don't want to upsize the database because others need acess to it in the ACC97 format. Is there a way to use ODBC to connect to the ACC97 database so that I can use the SQL query capability of SQL server to query the database.

I know access allows you to write some SQL queries but I need the power of the SQL server and now it is a matter of curiosity because I've been searching for this answer for about 8 hours.

Problem Connecting To Sql Server 2005 Express Database On Local Computer

Mar 18, 2008

I have a very basic console application whose sole purpose is to query a database on the same local computer. When i run the application, i get the error message below:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'someDomainSomeUserName'.
Below is my connection string also
myconnection_string = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Reporting SystemApp_Datasafetydata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True").
 After some googling, some post pointed to deleting a user folder at :
C:Documents and SettingsmyusernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS
 but still deleting that folder and restarting the machine doesn't help and i also have remote connections enabled. Help is really needed.
 NOTE: The same application runs on a different computer with XP but fails on the Pc with windows server 2003.

Right Code Statements Of SqlConnection && ConnectionString For Connecting A Database In Database Explorer Of VB 2005 Express?

Feb 14, 2008

Hi all,

In the VB 2005 Express, I can get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString of a Database "shcDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) by the following set of code:
///--CallshcSpAdoNetVB2005.vb--////

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Imports System.Data.SqlTypes

Public Class Form1

Public Sub InsertNewFriend()

Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try

connection.Open()

Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
.......................................
etc.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If the Database "shcDB" and the Stored Procedure "sp_inertNewRecord" are in the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express, I plan to use "Data Source=local" in the following code statements to get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString:
.........................
........................

Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=local;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try

connection.Open()

Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
........................
etc.

Is the "Data Source=local" statement right for this case? If not, what is the right code statement for my case?

Please help and advise.

Thanks,
Scott Chang

Connecting VB Express Files To SQL Server Management Studio Express

Aug 23, 2006

Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.

Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?

Please help a newbie

Thanks

How To Create A SQL Server 2005 Database In The App_Data Folder Of An ASPnet 2.0 Web Site?

Jan 15, 2008

On my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file. Now we still useSQL Server 2000 databases for our ASP.net applications.  I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express.These 2 databases in the App_Data folder seem to work fine although I can not see them from theManagement Studio Express. 
My question is: How do I 'manually' create a new SQL Server 2005 database into the App_Data folder?
TIA,Jeffrey

Connecting To SQL Express Database In C# Application

Mar 8, 2007

I'm trying to connect to a sql express database on my local machine, using the following connection string:

SqlConnection thisConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf");

However, I keep getting an error message saying "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."

Why would my application be trying to connect remotely when the database is on my local machine? And how can I fix this problem?

Thanks

Installing SQL 2005 Express And Attaching Database From CD

Apr 11, 2007

Hi there,



I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....



My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-



sqlcmd.exe

template.ini

type into the command prompt.



Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?



Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.



Regards

Sam

Installing The Asp.net Application Services In A Custom SQL Express Database.

Nov 16, 2005

I know that by default asp.net 2.0
creates the aspnetdb sql express database for storing membership, role
management, profiling etc. And I saw we have the aspnet_regsql tool to
have this installed in a standard sql server. But what should I do to
have these stored procedures, tables etc installed in an existing sql
express database? Aspnet_regsql doesn't seem suited for that.

I've noticed some sql scripts in the framework folder like
InstallCommon.sql, InstallMembership.sql, etc. They seem to be used to
create the regular aspnetdb.mdf database, should I just modify those
and run them against my own sql express database or is there a tool or
an easier way?

Cheers,
Frank.

Newbie Problems Adding ASPNET User To SQL Express Logins (Vista)

Apr 30, 2008



Hello,

I am trying to create an ASPNET Login for a SQL Server express Database (As Installed via Visual Studio) so my ASP Web Applications can invoke the Database. But SQLServer Managemnt Tool is not recognising any ASPNET user names I try.
I am trying to add via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, but get an error
" An Object (User or Built-in Security principal) with the following name cannot be found "mycomputerASPNET". "

Any obvious reason why ASPNET is not being recognised as a Login object object

Unfortunately I am on VISTA and IIS7 ( I have enabled, and checked that ASP Applications Run.)

- The process works OK on my other XP machine, ASP.NET via IIS 5.1, which seems more straightforward to set up.


Any help Appreciated, Since I am really stumped

Cheers

Installing SQL Server Express

Jul 9, 2007

Please tell me what I am missing here.  I've got an XP Pro machine with SQL Server Express running and a laptop with XP running the Management Studio Express.  This is on my home network which is wireless.  I can't see any databases on the XP Pro machine from the laptop.  Is there something besides just installing SQL Server that I need to do?  I've checked forums, documentation and co-workers but no luck. Thanks in advance

WHAT NEXT AFTER INSTALLING SQL SERVER EXPRESS?

Sep 24, 2006

I have installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP1 option. I am not really sure if I should have done this but I could not resist the temptation to have as many options as I could get. I even installed some samples/sample databases.

However, I cannot understand how to start using the SQL Express package which (unlike the Visual Basic 2005 Express or the Web Developer Express I also downloaded) does not show me a start up page. I get SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration, all from Configuration Tools. I have no idea how to proceed.

Could I have downloaded the wrong package?

Installing SQL Server Express

Dec 7, 2006

I am having a problem installing SQL Server Express 2005 from the command line in that it gets part way through and then stops - no message - just terminates. After much rooting around in log files and running a normal install I'm pretty sure that it is stopping because of a warning regarding "Minimum Hardware Requirements".

The laptop I'm trying to install it on is a Samsung X05, Centrino 1.4, 1gb RAM and 60gb free disk space. I've tried it on another laptop (Sony with a higher spec.) and get exactly the same problem.

As far as I can see the hardware spec is well above the recommended minumum so I'm at a loss as to what to try next to overcome the problem. If anyone has any suggestions then I'd be very grateful.

Installing SQL Server Express

Aug 20, 2007

I have installed SQL Server Express on a Windows XP Professional workstation. The installation instructions that I was following said that I had to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. The instructions said that I should uninstall any versions before I tried to install 2.0. My computer already has version 2.0 and version 3.0 installed, so I did not remove anything.

My problem is that now that I have SQL Express installed I cannot seem to connect to anything. I was specifically trying to convert an Access database to SQL Server format, and I keep getting a "connection failed" error. I don't seem to have any way to start SQL Express. Does it have to be started or is it running by default? What am I doing wrong?

Re-installing SQL Server Express

Sep 27, 2006

I recently posted this question in the SQL Server Express forum and it was suggested I also post this issue to this forum. In the hope that someone can shed some light on the problem.

A couple of days ago I installed SQL Server Express and it seemed to be running fine. (I've not really had a lot of time to devote to trying it out).

Today I decided to remove the software as I noticed it placed various components on differnet drives (my fault, I think). Anyway I removed everything using Add/Delete Progams and then deleted any folders left behind.

Now I try a fresh install of SQLEXPR_ADV and I get as far as the "Instance Name" dialog and use the default Named instance of SQLEXPRESS and then click Next.

The next dialog box appears with the heading "Existing components". The three check boxes are grayed out. So I click the Details button and the following is presented on screen:

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (SQLEXPRESS)
Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs)
Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS)
Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs)
Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
Allowed Action: Maintain (Action is only available from Add or Remove Programs)
Reason: Cannot maintain product, to maintain the product go to Add or Remove Programs


It has been pointed out that the following services should have been stopped prior to removal.

SQL Server Active Directory Helper
SQL Server Browser
SQL Server FullTest Search (SQLEXPRESS)
SQL Server Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS)

Surely this should be managed by the Add/Remove process!

I was able to successfully re-install the program as long as I created a new instance.

What should be the correct process to remove SQL Server Express and if necessary how do I remove services if they do not get deleted?

TIA

Steve

Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

Dec 8, 2006

I am working on Win2K Pro & had SQL Server 2005 Express & SQL Server Management Studio installed. The SQL Server name was MerverSQLEXPRESS. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to repair (& not re-install) Win2K but after doing so, I found that I am not able to connect to the database server. I uninstalled all the components related to SQL Server 2005 Express (like Management Studio, Support Files, BOL etc.) from my m/c & then restarted my m/c.

After doing so, I first re-installed SQL Server 2005 Express & other related components (I intended to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after installing SQL Server 2005 Express). While installing SQL Server 2005 Express, all the steps get executed successfully except for the last one which happens to be SQL Server Database Services. At this point, I get the following error:

An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.

The problem is after I click the OK button, I am not even given the option to change the instance name! The Status message corresponding to SQL Server Database Services just says Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for details. Finally, when I click the Next button, the next dialog finishes the Setup (showing the Finish button).

Now how do I overcome this problem? Please note that the Authentication mode I am using is Windows Authentication.

Someone please suggest me a concrete solution. It's driving me nuts! My receding hairline is getting further receded!

Lastly, please note that, as far as possible, I would like to keep the instance name as MerverSQLEXPRESS only.

Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 30, 2007

Hello,

I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.

But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.

However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.

I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

Mar 17, 2007

Hello,

I'd like to install SQL Server 2005 Express.

I just want to confirm that I can just install it on top of what I already I have.

About 2 months ago, I installed Visual Studio 2005, full edition (not express).

I can't remember what I did regarding SQL... whether I installed anything or not.

On my PC at the moment, in the Control Panel ---> "add/remove programs" section, I have :-

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Size 197,00MB
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools Size 6,95MB
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Size 4,16MB
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Size 20,60MB
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Size 0,66MB

From my start menu --> All Programs, the only SQL program is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", and this just has one sub-menu to "configuration tools". I cannot see a link to any SQL server, so I don't think I have it installed.

Should I uninstall the 5 programs listed above first ? Or can I just install SQL Server 2005 Express on top of what I already have ?

Thanks for your advice.
Ian.
