Seting Up Sql Server Express For Internet Connection
May 7, 2007
Hi
Im having some problems setting up sql server so that i can connect to it in my vb program over the internet.
Im using windows xp pro and have IIS installed and using sql server 2005 express SP2.
My setup is as follows:
from phonecable to router, from router to wireless access point and the wireless connects to my computer.
I have tried disabling the xp firewall, and in the sql server configurationi have set the port to 11001, which i have also opened in my router.
There should be a connection to the computer, cause i have succesfully set up an FTP server on a different port.
I have also enabled remote connections, both via TCP/IP and named pipes.
I have tried to use telnet on my IP adress with the port 11001, and it says that i cant create a connection..Are there other settings i should set to get this to work? This has been bugging me for a little while...
Is it possible to connect to a sql server express over internet or not ?
- I am using a win2003 sp1 server. Freshly installed. - The server is directly connected to internet. - For the purpose of the test, I stopped the windows firewall and the IPSec service. - I stopped SQL server Browser service. - I find a free port (here : 1401) - I activated TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Configuration Manager, and I have selected 1401 as the TCP port in the IPAll sextion of TCP/IP protection (and I remove the '0' of the dynamic TCP Port). - Restarted SQL server express...
In the sql server log, I get the message "Serveur Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1401]"
But I never get an answer from the server.
sqlcmd -S ip_of_the_server, 1401 -U username -P password is working fine if launched on the server. But I always get a timeout error from any PC. Same with a telnet on port 1401.
Q1: Does Sql Server 2005 Express support Web/Internet to other SQL Server 2005 Express Clients or does it have to Synch across the internet to a fully installed setup SQL Server 2005 with IIS?
Q2: Does SQL Server 2005 Express support Direct Replication between other SQL Server 2005 Express clients?
Hey all!I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me getting my database working over the Internet.I am using VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and have my database set up within a web site project in VS under the App_Data folder.Everything runs smoothly when running the application on localhost I am just facing a problem when I attempt the same thing after uploading my pages to my web server.I am receiving the following 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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)I have tried enabling the disabled SQLEXPRESS protocols and disabled my firewall with no luck.I have also looked into using localhostsqlexpress as the server name but I dont see how this method would work as it appears to only run a database on the local machine which is the problem I have currently.Could anybody help me with this problem? I have only just started trying to use SQL Server Express as a means of database connectivity and I am not exactly sure how it all works.Thanks
I've been reading quite a few articles on setup and deployment project on msdn. Also , i've checked articles on msdn about the sqlservr setup and how it can take command line args.
BUT , after i extract the sqlsetup on the target machine , how do i run my batch file that will send the right command line switches to the setup.
Also , (slightly off-topic =S sry) i dont want to just extract my database on to the target machine. Can i extract the schema of my database and then use sqlcmd to execute the script that would create the database somewhere? I do have to do this during my setup!!
I am trying to upload a database (MS SQL 7) from my machine to a remote location (host company). This company has MS SQL Server 7 running in its machine, so they told me that all I had to do was to connect from my SQL Enterprise Manager. I am new to MS SQL, so I would appreciate if someone can help me to create a connection from Enterprise Manager to this remote SQL Server.
When using the Rda Pull/Push methods I need to have an Internet connection. I'm using VS2005 with VB to build my application. What commands can I use to check for and force or establish an internet connection from my pda?
I want to set up merge replication over internet between sql servers located in different cities. Servers have adsl connection. Also I want to start replication witout synchronizing. Actually what I want is starting replication without snapshot because of connection issues. How could I achieve connecting approximately 40 server in this way?
I create a WebSite onto the internet. Then I created a database with MSSQLmanager provided by the WebHosting. I created a Table and put some data in it. When I try to access the DataBase an Error says: "Connection cannot be opened. On default settings you cannot access a Database Remotely." What shall I do to configure my Database. basically I don't know where to go to change configuration of my Database. In my intranet I would use SQLServerSuraceArea. But on Internet I do not know. someone Help. Did I miss something ?
All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?
Hi all, There is a sql express database .mdf file which I can access locally through local web pages using windows authentication and integrated security = true. Now I want to publish this db and the web pages to my hoster's server so as to access the db from internet. The connection string currently is in the web config as below:<add name="NORTHWNDConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|NORTHWND.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> The database is currently located in the App_Data folder. Please give me some step by step solution to configure the db to access from internet. Thanks a lot in advance.
I am working in a secured company which doesn't allow live internet connection, therefore I can't install SSDT using Web Platform Installer and we also don't want to install the intire 2012 client tools.
I have SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed in a Microsoft Windows XP Pro PC that is a terminal PC in our office Network. My Network Administrator has granted my terminal PC for Administrator Use. I tried to do the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my terminal PC and I could not get a remote connection in the Window Form Application via Window Authorization. I do not know how to make this kind of remote connection in my Network. Please help and advise.

1st How to set on my reports date fromat dd,mm,yyyy I use Date parametars and need to display it on my reports what ever I try it is always mm,dd,yyyy.
2nd Can I resize parametar box size on deployed report, I use long stings for Label Field and when I open report in web browiser rables is shown but in small size and i need to use horizontal scrol bar to see all data for parametar.
3th I use multi value parametar and I set the defalt values from Non-queired option, while I working in visual stoudio is OK when I preview report defolt values is OK, but when i deployed that on server which is on defrend machine default values do not working.
4th Where I can check wich version of SQL2005 is working I think that problem with multi default values is in difrent SP between my com and server whos hosts reports .
5th How I can set some reports to it can bi acces anymausly I want to set off password and username checking before opening report.
A bit of a double question. We are setting up a new environment but this time we don't want to use the build-in replication. As we have a very changing environment these replications block us in modifying tables. (Was on W2K/Sql2000).
To avoid this we would write a softreplication, now we are running on W2003AS/Sql2005Ent, but when trying to run a transaction to an older server this error pops up. "The transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions".
I've found some articles on how to solve this but they all mention a buttin 'security config' on the MSDTC tab page of MyComp in CompServ. But i can't see that Button on a W2k.
Any suggestions ..
Or, 2nd question, is it still so that when a replication has been setup in 2005 that bthe table is unmodifiable ??
Hi, I am relatively new to this. I have installed VB 2005 and that has installed a version of SQL Server 2005 Express on my local development machine. I am using VB to develop some demo sites and i can create DB's in the App_Data file and they work when I test and run then by pressing Ctrl + F5. However i have some demo tutorials that require Northwind and Pubs to do them. So i have installed Northwind and Pubs using the cms prompt and the InstNwnd.sql install. They said everything has been installed fine. This is where the problem starts. I open new connection in VB, or asses for that matter and try to open my local server machine (just my desktop running WindowsXP pro), Which is called Optiplex. Sometimes i get the optiplex appear in the dropdown that asks for your to choose a server and other times it doesnt. Eevn if the machine appears it doesnt let me chose Pubs or northwind from the second drop down. I think i must have SQexpress running on the machined named Optiplex because i have the SQL server configuartion manger on it. That tells me i am running SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser both switched on and running. By the way i have set my SQL manager to run as Local service. One thing that i consider strange is that when i have had SQLServer Express running on other machines normally there was a little icon running in the right hand corner of the the task bar. Does anyone know what is going on with my mchine and have i got the SQL server setup correctly? Just one last piece of additionally information is that i have a folder called C:SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases which is where the MDF files are located. Thanks a million Sanson
The last connection string I used is: Server=192.168.0.3;Initial Catalog=dbase;User ID=guest;
In the connection string I added port 1433, servername instead IP, different users id...but can´t connect. I can ping visualstudio emulator from sql server, now are in the same lan but in future pda have to connect to
server using gprs.
Where is the error??
Thanks in advance.
PS. I´m reading some post that indicates SQL Server Express doesn´t allow any remote connection?

I am having trouble connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express using ASP.NET written in VB.NET (1.1 Framework) in VS2003. I am trying to programmatically connect to the SQL Server. Since this is a redistributable web application and I don't want to rewrite the connection string every time I distribute a copy, is there any way to automatically get a connection string without prompting the end user for one? I can get the server name and the data base name, but I don't know how to get a username. It returns an error saying SERVERASPNET can't log on. Can anyone help?
I am using SQL server express 2005. I can drag and drop a grid control on to my web form and choose the data source to point to a SQL server database. Then datais nicely displayed on my web form. Now I need to manually create my connection to the database as I need to read from a text file and then populatea database table with those values I read from the text file. I have not had any success with this though and I am stuck and need some help. Below is my C# code and I list the web.config code where my connection string is stored. Note that I can trace into the C# line of code below. If I then do a "Quick Watch" on "myConnection" in the debugger, the followingerror message is displayed: ServerVersion 'myConnection.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' string {System.InvalidOperationException} So I don't know what the problem is here. If someone can help me out I would be forever thankfull
C# code: SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["TheDividerConnectionString"]);
Here is the connection string as defined in the web.config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="TheDividerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BVCOMPUTERSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TheDivider;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>

I had a modified dashCommerce application using SQL Server Express and set up on a dedicated server running Win 2003. We just upgraded to a new machine (also Win 2003). I installed SqlServer Express, moved over the files, and detached/attached the database files. Now I'm having problems. I think the install file from the original dashCommerce does more than set up the database, I think it installs some other stuff as well, so I uploaded it to a domain I'm not using and ran the install. I'm hoping it resolves these issues. But I can't get past creating the database part. It didn't have permissions to create the database, so I did that. Now I'm getting another error:Cannot open database "Commerce" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'SV2434wespeakout.com_web'.I don't remember having this problem before. And I can't find any information on creating logins that I can follow. The web.config has this:<add name="CommerceTemplate" connectionString="Server=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Commerce;Integrated Security=true;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>What do I need to do to get this working?
