Server Fails To Connect To SQLExpress

Dec 26, 2006

I am trying to set-up membership options on my MS Server 2003.

I also have a Computer running MS XP Professional sp2.

With the Advanced in stall of SQLExpress - trying to establish cojnectivity on the server fails when using the ASP.NET Configuration button.

This works fine on the XP box.

On the security tab the following message apppears:

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.

I've compared all settings in ssemee, surface manager etc. - all identical.

run aspnet_regsql on both machines. Added the SERVERASPNET account to SQLExpress and to the aspnetdb database.

I've enabled TCP,remote connections, named pipes etc. to no avail.

Any suggestion as to what the error could be would be most appreciated - been trying now for 3 days to get this working without any success.

SQLExpress Database Fails Under SQL SERVER 2005

Jun 19, 2006

Q1: When I try to move a database (.mdf and .ldf file), developed with SQLEXPRESS on Win/XP to my SBS2003 server running with SQL SERVER 2005, I cannot attach the database on the server. Backup/Restore fails as well.

"Could not find row in in sysindexes for database ID=12...."

Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted (error 602).

I tried to copy an ad hoc db with only one table from the client to the server, same error. Similar procedure withs MSDE and SQL 2000 worked flawlessly. It seems there is something wrong with my SQLEXPRESS setup.

Anybody who can advice?

Q2. on the client with SQL EXPRESS, I switched on in the surface area configuration TCP and pipes; however SQL SERVER Management Studio on the server cannot connect te SQLEXPRESS engine on the client machine. Is this normal?

However from the client, SQL EXPRESS Management Studio can connect to the SQL SERVER 2005 engine.on the server.

Thanks, eric

I installed SQL Server Express and SQL Server manager, then tried to start manager. SQL Service is running, but SQL Manager attempt to connect to SQL Server instance times-out even though I correctly identify instance as SQLEXPRESS? Everything seems to be normal - both SQL Server and Manager are on a single Windows  XP home machine. Any suggestions. Thanks

Can't Connect To SQL Server 2005 In Visual Studio, Only SQLExpress Works?

Jul 8, 2007

Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5.  Received this error: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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.

Cannot Connect Remotely To SQLExpress Via SQL Server Management Studio Express

Oct 31, 2007

 Hi all, I'm having a little trouble connecting to a SQLExpress instance on a remote domain using SQL Server Management Studio Express.I've read that by default the program is set up locally only, so have edited the Surface Area Configuration.  It only gives me the option to edit 'Services and Connections' on the localhost, but have edited the Remote Connections to use TCP/IP and Named Pipes. In the Management Studio, I enter the server name, and login credentials.  On the Connection Properties tab I changed the network protocol to TCP/IP though everytime I attempt to connect I get the following error message:  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich

Error 1418, Fails To Connect Mirror Server

Feb 20, 2006

II use the mirroring wizard to config all these three servers(windows authorization is used), the error logs in primary server and mirror server are showed as below
a) On primary server:
Error: 1474, Severity: 16, State: 1
Database mirroring connection error 4 'An error occurred while receiving data: '10054(An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'.' for 'TCP://mymirror.mydomain:5022'
b) On mirror server:
Database Mirroring login attempt by user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON.' failed with error: 'Connection handshake failed. The login 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON' does not have CONNECT permission on the endpoint. State 84.'.

It states I do NOT have permission on this endpoint, but actually, I grant the permission to the endpoint on both primary and mirror server using command
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Mirroring TO [mydomainmyuser];
Also, I followed the article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189127.aspx ,no firewall issue, the endpoint is created and started by checking sys.database_mirroring_endpoints
Hope someone can help me resolve this issue... Thank you very much..

HELP: ASP.NET Won't Connect To SQLexpress After De

Jul 31, 2007

Hello,

I have finish building my ASP.NET site using VS 2005 and it compile just fine. Than I try hosting it to the web via IIS v5.1 and I am getting permission error from SQL express.

I have posted a detail question in experts-exchange.com and since you need a user account to even view the thread, I have taken the liberty to save the thread as .html file and host it to my ISP site. You can see the detail problem I am having here: http://users.accesscomm.ca/mm/EEdetail.html

I am going to list out some stuff I have done:

1. I have two database that need access, the ASPNETDB.mdf for user login and another database (PhotoDataBase.mdf) to store information relating to the photo I uploaded to my ASP.NET site.

2. I have already follow this How to site: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx and setup:
- TCP/IP enable, as shown here:
- I have started SQL Browser service
- The firewall part I am not so sure about. I am currently using Zonealarm....

3. I have installed SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) and attach the two database to it.

4. I have set SSMSE server properties to accept both SQL and window authentication.

5. I have made sure that both database "read only" setting to false

6. I have setup SQL login with User ID = SQLLOGIN

Here is the original connection in web.config:
<add name="ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|Da
taDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

and here is the new connection I just type in web.config that replace the original one:
<add name="ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf; Server=MINGDESKTOP; Integrated Security=False; uid=SQLLOGIN; Password=XXXXXX;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

and the error i get are the follow:

Server Error in '/' Application.
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.

Can Connect To Sqlexpress But Not The DB ?

Oct 6, 2006

whenever i try and choose the database i wish to work with like below. I end up with an error message about the user not being associated with a trusted sql server connection

cnStr = @"Data Source=serverSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=sqldata;User ID=blahme";

same with this one

cnStr = @"Data Source=STOCKYARDSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";

i figured this was all permission based so i kept dorking around with security adding my user name to anything i could find, and also went through and dozen or so connection strings and found when i take out the DB name that i can open a connection.... as the code below works...

cnStr = @"Data Source=ServerSQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";

cn.Open();

I plan on importing another database so how will i later on choose between the two, i notice i can create logins only at the security for the sqlexpress and not for my database? did i mess up how i created the database?
i have added my username and given permissions to the security for the database i wish to connect to, but is there another step im missing? i would keep trucking but i would like to have multiple DB on the sql express and pick and choose at the code level, maybe im misunderstanding what the catalog should include or i can change the connections database at another point?

Cannot Connect To SQLExpress From ASP.NET

Feb 22, 2008

I am trying to use built-in login authentication using SQLExpress (SQLMembershipProvider Class). I have run the utility "aspnet_regsql" both with and without the following switches "-E -A m". Either way it fails to connect and tells me I may need to enable remote connections. I have done that and set it to use both TCP/IP and pipes, even though the connection is local. I still get the same error message. If I open up SQL Server Manager, I can see that there is a user account set up for ASPNET.

Can I Connect To SQLExpress Instance Using (local)

Feb 19, 2007

Hello,

I am using the following connection string to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed on my local PC.
string sqlstr = "Server=(local);Database=MyDB;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Trusted_Connection=False";

And it gives me the following error. The string works fine in computer with SQL Server 2000 instance but fails with 2005. The string also fails for "Server = localhost".
However the string works very fine if I use the name of Server 2005 i.e ./SQLExpress

===================================

Cannot connect to (local).

===================================

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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

------------------------------
Error Number: 2
Severity: 20
State: 0


------------------------------

 

Now the main problem is that, of course I could use a named instance, but since I am embedding the Connection String in a dll file so that any user can use it to connect it to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 installed in his/her computer, I need to use "server = localhost". Doesn't SQL 2005 support this. If yes, where could i find option to enable it?

I have enabled every option available in surface area configuration for SQL Server 2005, but nothing seems to help out. I even use local as well as remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes.
Can nyone help me out?

Unable To Connect To SQLEXPRESS From A Client In A Workgroup (Error 40)

Jul 11, 2007

Hi to everyone!

Here is my problem: I have SQLEXPRESS running with Windows Authentication on a "server" PC named "ASUS1", and I need to connect from a "client" PC named "Presario1", user "Mauro", connected through a peer network (I use a cross-over cable); both PCs belongs to the same workgroup named "RMT-WORK", and they can see each others shared folders without problems.

I have installed the connectivity components + Management Studio Express on Presario1, and enabled named pipes and TCP/IP protocols; then I've got SQL Browser running. I have also added the Login "Guest" on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS.

When I start Management Studio Express on Presario1 and browse for servers I can select "ASUS1" as database engine but when I try to connect I receive "Error 40: could not open a connection to SQL Server" (same result using SQLCMD); I have tried to add on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS a user "Presario1Mauro" with "CREATE LOGIN [Presario1Mauro] FROM WINDOWS" but I receive a "Windows user not found" error...

Can anyone help me?

Hi all,

I have to deal with a private network of laptops which are all equiped with preinstalled "Windows XP home"

I've installed SQLExpress on one of these, but I cannot connect on it from the rest of the laptops. (I've successfuly done this with "Windows XP profesional" though, and local connections work fine as well).

I've already setup the SQLExpress to accept conections throuigh TCP/IP but I can not think of something else. (Security comes to mind, but I do not know how to resolve it on "Windows XP Home").

Thank you

Help:SQLExpress User Instance Fails For Normal User; Works For Administrator

Jan 22, 2008

I'm using the RTM version of Visual Studion 2008 and SQLServer Express.

Logged in as an administrator, I can create a connection to an mdf file and all is well.

As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.

For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.

I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.

Can anyone help me with this?

May 11, 2007

I have a C# application that connects to a SQL Server Express 2005 instance. One of the testers here shuts his machine down every night and first thing in the morning when he fires up the application it fails to connect. If he tries to open it again right after that it connects. What would the failed attempt do that would fix the instance?

SSMS Fails To Connect To SQL 2005

Sep 21, 2007

We are running SQL 2005 Standard on Windows 2000 Server Standard. We are trying to connect via SSMS with the Object Explorer to the server and it is failing with an error message stating:



"An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

Additional Information:
Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22001)

Using profiler, I tracked down that it is a call to xp_instance_regread. This is something that SSMS is issuing - not me.

We've found in the past that rebooting the server fixes the problem. But it keeps cropping up. The only thing running on this server is SQL 2005 - so if something is monkeying with the registry - it's got to be SQL Server itself.

Querying works just fine - we can use the editor to perform queries without any issue - it's just explorer that goes kaboom.

We have SP2a installed on the server and on most (if not all) of the clients.

This is getting frustrating because it's a production server and we're having to reboot this to fix it.

Visual Studio 2013 Fails To Connect To MDF File?

Oct 20, 2015

I'm attempting to connect to a database file through visual studio 2013 Ultimate.  The .mdf file is located on my local drive inside the App_Data folder of the project.  However when I try to connect to the file it fails and throws an error message (see below).  

“The attempt to attach to the database failed with the following information: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. The specified LocalDB instance does not exist.”

Web Forum Setup Fails To Connect To Database Error :80004005

Jun 13, 2006

In my string below, my forum setup up file, setup.asp , when run delivers an error that it is unable to connect to the database. Error: 800004005

I am running this from within IIS 5.0 aon a Windows 2000 Server, by right clicking the file in IIS and choosing "browse" I am trying to set this up so user IUSR_SERVER_NAME can "read and Write" to the database or instance I have created called rpggamerpro. The authentication in the SSSAC is set to use both Windows and SQL Authentication for the "master". I have set permissions on the folder which contains the SQL 2005 Express installation and database for IUSR_SERVER_NAME to read/write. I have created a IUSR_SERVER_NAME user in the Security/User directory for the database or instance "rpggamerpro" and gave the user read/write permissions there. So I am still at a loss as to what permissions, strings, settings, configuration or whatever the heck else needs to be done in order to get this thing to work. Please anyone willing to help a realative new commer to the SQL and DB world would be greatly appreciated.

trConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=nssqlexpress;database=rpggamerpro;uid=IUSR_NS;pwd=;" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (OLEDB connection)

Can't Start SQLEXPRESS So That I Can't Install Latest SQLEXPRESS Security Updates.

Mar 13, 2007

I can't start SQLEXPRESS.

The SQL ERRORLOG shows: Error is 3414, Severity 21, State 2 and says: "An error occurred during recovery, preventing the database 'model' (database ID 3) from restarting." Just prior to this, I get a warning: "did not see LP_CKPT_END".

Any thoughts why this might be and how I can fix this?
