In sql 2000, during the installation an option was given to allow the installer to install to a different drive or path, however in sql 2005, I do not see an option. During the installation it does give you the option of installing via the command line interface, however this would be the last option. If this is the only method of installing sql 2005 for a different data drive path, then please provide the command line to do this. I've used the command line osql/isql to restore db's in sql 2000/msde and it's a pain.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in parallel with SQL Server 2000. The server is a Dell 2650 with 1 GB RAM running Windows 2000 Server.
The initial part of the setup runs the System Configuration Checker (SCC), which is generating this warning:
The server is a member of a domain, but I am logged in as the local administrator. The drive is not compressed. There are no file system problems. I am at a loss as to why this warning is occuring, and do not want to proceed until I figure this out.
(I got this warning on another server as well. That was a test server, so I proceeded. The engine seems to run ok, but SSIS will not load, says a component is missing. Not sure if the two issues are related or not).
I have sql 2005 installations errors in some of prod servers. Can i change the default paths without re-installing. Like in my servers backup files should go to E: drive and data files to F: and log files to H: Drive.
I have question about install both default instance and name instance on to one server. Do I need follow a specific order such as default instance first then name instance?
If my server already has two or more name instances, can I install one more default instance?
Hi, I'm just looking into installing a second instance of SQL 2005 with SP2 on a W2K3 R2 machine that already contains a default instance, if i do so is the order of installation 1) Install named instance 2) Apply SP2 to the newly installed named instance
If i do this, will either of these require a system reboot ? The default instance should remain operational if no reboot required as the service pack is for a specific instance in this case ?
Hi: I'm using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS My server name is SERVER1SQLEXPRESS When I create a new data base on my server it saves at C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData How Can I change this default path? Thanks!!
When a new database is created in enterprise manager the path for the database and transaction logs are defaulted to d:mssql7data or wherever you installed SQL Server to initially. Is there a way to change the defaults to place the data on one drive and the logs on a different drive?
Hi, i would like to know if there's a way to know the path where my sql server is located, i need to know this because i've an application (VB .NET) that needs to know this path, any help?
Hi, In my system, for creating a databae the default path is in C: drive, but iwant to change into D: drive as a default path.Please tell me how to change??
During initial setup of SQL Server 2005 Standard Addition, I was not able to configure an alternate path (non C: ) for the Data component. Can anyone advise on the procedure to set the Data path to non default during initial setup.
I'm getting a rule check fail "Long path names to files on SQL Server Installation media failed" when installing SQL 2012 Standard edition from a network share.
Hi, I have a generally well working silent installer of SQL Server sp1, that installs a named of SQL Express then runs some create database scripts on it.
I have a customer for whom this fails. It appears that the SQL server service does not start. When I tell the client (non-computer literate!) to start it manually through Admin Tools>Service, a message appears saying "Access to the path denied", and seemingly doesn't specify the path of the denial.
Has anyone encountered this, or is anyone able to hazard a guess as to the cause of this issue.
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....
There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?
I'd like to install SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition ,I begin to install it from DVD but during the installation it dosn't ask me about any instance and after installation there isn't SQLExpress service and I can't use sql server .(there are not MSSQL and Binn directory in sql server 2005) but when I install visual studio 2005 and after that I install sql server 2005 it ask me for name of instance and with this way every thing is ok and I use sql server completely.
I 'd like to know the complete installation of sql server 2005 is depend on installation of visual studio 2005 befor it ?if not how can I introduce any instance after installation of sel server 2005 .
I have built an application that uses SQLExpress. When I build the setup with a new setup Project I include in the prerequisites SQLExpress so that if the target PC has no SQL server installed the setup sequence will automatically install an instance.
The Serup Sequence installes SQL Server with default Instance name and settings. I need to make the setup package to install the SQL instance with a specific name and some other setting. These settings would be
Our security center just scanned my database server and has asked that I change the database server from the default instance name and change the default port used. When installed MS SQL Server 2000 I used the default installation settings. I have installed SP4 and this is all running on a fully patched WIN 2003 Server machine. Is this possible without un-installing and then re-installing?
HiWhen we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with adifferent collation name in order to be able to accept the character setwe use, Hebrew.We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from ourmain system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Althoughthe DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQLit comes over as jibberish.After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTSrefers to specific databases and uses the destination database'scollation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination serverand therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of thedatabase. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need tochange the default collation name of the installation.Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a productionserver so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data betweenservers using OSQL ?ThanksDavid Greenberg
Good day good people of the forum while carrying out a remote installation i encountered an UNC path error can anyone be of help giving me a comprehensive answer to the problem. am stuck i cant move ahead from that part of the installation
What is the "prefer" path for moving from SQL 7 to SQL 2005? Please give me the pros and cons for: backup sql 7 and restore it onto sql 2005 vs. migrate sql 7 to sql 2005. In both cases, please give me the pit falls. Thank you.
When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
After updating TempDB path to a wrong path (without file name only folder name) the service is not starting. How can i sovle this and start the service
I used SQL 2000 before. There are options for setting program files path and data path, which I usually install programs on C: and then data files in D: for easier maintenance. However, I cannot find this options in SQL 2005. Is that both (program files and data) must be locate in the same drive/path? or how can I do it same as SQL 2000? Please advise. Many thanks.
I have installed a SQL 2005 software and created 4 instances and 4 databases on each server namely , Adventureworks , sample , testdb1, testdb2.
After creating these many databases , i was very confused to find out the actual database files in Programfiles directory as each instance was created in a separate directory namely MSSQL.1 , MSSQL.2...etc.
how do i identify the correct database path for sample database in instance3.
is there any system tables or stored proc that i can user to identify this path. tanks
I would like to create a store procedures that will return me a full path by passing a PathID
I started with this code:
DECLARE @path_id int SET @path_id = 5; WITH fullPath (PathID, ParentPathID, Path) AS ( SELECT PathID, ParentPathID, Path FROM tblPath WHERE PathID = @path_id UNION ALL SELECT tblPath.PathID, tblPath.ParentPathID, tblPath.Path AS Path FROM tblPath JOIN fullPath ON tblPath.PathID = fullPath.ParentPathID ) SELECT * FROM fullPath
This code will return this: 1 NULL D: 2 1 Sections 3 2 Bin 4 3 Data 5 4 FinancialReport.doc
What I would like to get is something like this: D:/Sections/Bin/Data/FinancialReport.doc
Any help would be really appreciated. Lost too much time on it already. Thanks, pharvey
