Hi,
I just installed Visual web developper 2008 express with all options including SQL srvr express 2005!
This is from default iso image on the official website.
I create my first project and when I want to do ASP.NET configuration from web site menu, i got this error:
"Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed."
I am just trying to learn here so i even did not create any dB or something, it is 1st time I run configuration to add security roles and users for testing!
I also un-installed all and re-installed, still the same...
pleas help and give me details as i am new.

I just spent the better par of 3 days creating a prototype in ASP.Net 2.0 and SQL Server Express only to discover that nobody from outside can see it...
ERROR with impersonation=true
User does not have permission to perform this action.
ERROR with impersonation=false
Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwroot------.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwroot-----.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
What makes this so difficult?
What am I missing?

Hi all,
Have just tried my sql server 2005 connected asp classic website on II7 for the first time and have gotten some errors.
First off I have unchecked show friendly errors in IE and have enabled ASP to send error messages to the browser.
My error I get is when I execute a basic .asp page:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database "mydatabasename" requested by the login. The login failed.
/index.asp, line 10 which is dbConnect.Open cstring
from this peice of code:
sub dbOpen()
set dbConnect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cstring = "DSN=mysqldsn; Trusted Connection=yes"
dbConnect.Open cstring
end sub
I have gone into ODBC and have setup both a user dsn and file dsn that equals mysqldsn and points to my database (I know you only need to set up one DSN but I'm not sure which)
I also notice under mywebsite home panel there is a connection string option. Do I do anything with that?
Definatley a lot more to it than XP's II6!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I was using a SQL Express database for some time now with no problems for a NUnit Test project. No, all of a sudden, I'm getting these problems:
DatabaseProviderTest.TestContainsUser : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'XXXXXX'.
For the SQLEXPRESS database, I checked and I am a user, and I gave myself every permission imaginable. The default database is master, so I don't know why I am getting this problem?
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
I have created an asmx web service that deserializes a JSON string and should execute stored procedures in SQL Server Express 2005, the database is a mdf file. I have created a System DSN which works fine, I have allowed the remote connections and TCP/IP and created the firewall exceptions for sqlserver and sqlbrowser. I believe there's an issue with my connection string, I have tried everything and it still won't connect.
I had another running example but that was on a previous install of Windows XP Pro SP1 with login and this asmx web service worked fine. I run Windows XP Pro SP2 without a login now so I guess I can't use Integrated Security=true or Trusted Connection=yes but does anybody know the default login of a database created in Windows Visual Developer Express?
Here's my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|
antanplan.mdf;Integrated Security=SSPI;User Instance=false;UID=sa;PWD=sa"
And here's the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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.

Hi,
I have a problem to connect to SQL2005 Express Database with VC++ as regular user, not window system administrator.(If i login as window system admin, everything's working fine.)
A. I tried to use SQL2005 Express Server authentication, the error msg is:
Code= 80004005 €œunspecified error€? Cannot open database ***, login failed.
1. I am using Server authentication with username and password.
2. Gave all the permission of Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1 and Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2 to this regular window user.
3. Connection String is:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; User ID=***;Password=***;Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;
B. I tried to use Window authentication by adding User Instance, but the error is:

This is my connection string : <add connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;User id=sa;password=*******;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|serdarmuh.mdf;Initial Catalog=serdarmuh;" name="connString"/> but it says :Login failed for user 'sa'.I adjust the password for "sa" during the setup and set the authentication moded to "Sql Server and Windows Authentication Mode". But it does not work.... If I tried "Integrated Security = True", then it says :Login failed for user 'Administrator' what should I do? Is it better to re-install sql server?

I am getting the error:
Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed.
When I browse to my ASP.NET 3.5 LINQ web application on the IIS 6.0 server on Server 2003.
I imagine this is because while I granted SQL Server 2005 login and permissions to my database that the application stores its data in, I did NOT grant any rights to the service account the IIS Application Pool uses for its identity to the aspnetdb database on SQL Server which is where all my roles information is stored at.
My question is what are the MINIMUM permissions needed for this database so it can perform its roles related functions?
I'm using Windows Authentications with the SQL Role provider for authorization.
Thank you.
EDIT: I think I only need to open the aspnetdb database and add my login to the aspnet_Roles_FullAccess role. Is that correct?

Hello Guys
This is my connection string

I tried to research on the internet and i got a solution on changing the permissions for this database to enable user SystemName/ASPNET, but iam not able to access this ASPNETDB.MDF from SqlServer and if i go to server explorer in vs2005, i dint know where to chage the permissions.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks a lot

I have built a page with the login control using the default sql server express database that is integrated into the application. I have got it working on my development machine and want to post it on the web with a web hosting company. I did not know if they had to have sql server express installed on that machine for my database to work properly or will it work with sql server 2005 installed. Most web hosting companies that I have called say they only support sql server 2005 and not sql server express. I was unsure if the login would work or not. Please help with this issue. I am new at ASP.net and really enjoy it. However, I want to ensure that my site will work on the web as it does on my machine.

For the life of me I've had nothing but trouble using SQL Server Express. My latest problem sprung up out of nowhere, I all of a sudden begin getting the following error, when I know my app was working last time I ran it: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'PINCHCPUBrad'."I get this error in an auto-generated file App_Code.1voqxxpd.18.cs. What kills me is, I can connect to the database through Server Explorer and SQL Management Studio, but for some reason my application cannot. I really don't understand how logging-in works with SQL Server Express as I've never even set up a login. When I look at my database properties in Server Explorer is shows Owner as the exact entity my application says it can't find: 'PINCHCPUBrad'. The database I'm trying to connect is in my App/Data folder and my Connection String says: "LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> I honestly don't get why attaching to and maintaining a simple database is unbelievable difficult and unpredictable, but I constantly get screwey errors like this that pop up out of nowhere.

I'm attempting to connect to a SQL server database from the code behind in an ASP.net 2005 page. I am receiving the error:
"Cannot open database "Fastaff" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DEBASER1\Carlo'."
4060
My web.config connection string is:
<add name="FastaffConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Fastaff;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
The odd thing is when I login to the the same database from the management console using windows authentication I am able to login and the connection info shows:
DEBASER1SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server 9.0.3042 - DEBASER1Carlo)
DEBASER1Carlo is the admin on the machine.
Any ideas?

I borrowed some code from a colleague to login into SQL Server:
public static SqlConnection GetConnection()
{
string dbNameSvr = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("DataBaseServer");
string db = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("DataBase");
string userId = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("UserId");
string password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("Password");
string connStr = "Data Source=" + dbNameSvr + ";" +
"Database=" + db + ";" +
"User Id=" + userId +";" +
"Password=" + password + ";";
SqlConnection aConn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
return aConn;
}
It works but someone has commented that it is very insecure. I don't really understand why but I'll take his word for it. So I'm wondering what approach most people use to have a web app login to their database?

Later and in the same Project, via Database explorer I 'Add connection' to the same sql database to review tables etc.
After this when I run the same code, as above, I get an error that the database is in use
If I then 'Close Connection' or even Delete the connection via Database explorer I receive the error
"Cannot open Database, "JimDbase2" requested by the login. The login failed.

I have two applications added to a single solution. A Web application and a ClassLibrary which contains the Unit Tests. From the ClassLibrary I am trying to open the SQL SERVER 2005 Express Database. The database is in the App_Code directory of the Web Application folder. I have added the App.config file in my class library which has the following credentials. <connectionStrings> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=MYSERVER;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;User Id=AZAMSHARP;Password=mypassword;"/> </connectionStrings>Now, when I run the test: [Test] public void CanOpenDatabaseConnection() { string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString); myConnection.Open(); Assert.AreEqual(myConnection.State, ConnectionState.Open); myConnection.Close(); }It throws the Exception: ThingsTODOTestApps.SqlConnectionFixture.CanOpenDatabaseConnection : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : Login failed for user 'AZAMSHARP'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.I tried the same connectionString with the WebApps and it worked fine and displayed the results. Any ideas! PS: AZAMSHARP is my windows authentication account.

After installing SQL Server Express I can now connect using my Windows authentication but am unable to create a database because all BUILTINUsers only have public permissions. I don't have the sa password and there are no other users or user groups set up which I could use to upgrade my permissions. So I can't do much of anything with SQL Server.
For background, I'm setting this up on a personal laptop running Windows Vista. I'm one of only two users on the machine and I have an Administrator user account.
Any help is appreciated.

Help!!
I used to have an Access database which had tables for users, roles, actions etc.
This was used by a C++ client app (using ADO) which logged in, got the user ID and password (by raising a login dialog ) and then checked these against a user table and then assigned the roles and possible actions.
Now we have SWL Server Express 2005 - NT Authorisation - how do I get/pass the user ID to the C++ Application so it can get the associated roles? Seems silly to have 2 logins.
Better still can I do away with the App's User table or make its password column invisible to all users bar Admin and the C++ App?

I am using an unattended install script to install the database on the client machine. All the settings look correct. But my application cannot access the db -
Error: Cannot open database requested by the login.
Now when I install SQL Server Express manually, it works fine. I have the service running under local system and enabled user instances is true. I cannot figure out the problem(been working on it for 2 days).
Any ideas?

Now using SSME I can connect into SQL server express with the default login that was created by the installation. I want to create a new login:
Right click on Security > New > Login
I filled in all the details. However, when I click OK I get the following error:
Create failed for Login 'Mauriceewlogin'. Windows NT user or group 'Mauriceewlogin' not found. Check the name again.
Please, help. I am getting fraustrated with this error.

Hello,
My company works with SQL Server 2005 express locally with Visual Studio to develop websites. Everything works very well.
We use SQL Server 2005 express on our production server as well. We change the database over to a non-User Instance when the site is ready to go live. Everything works fine here as well.
We run into issues when databases get near 100 MB. This is well below the stated database size limit for Express of 4GB.
At that point, about once a day, a site with a "large" database will stop responding. The error that we'll get is "Cannot open database 'DBNAME' requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DBUSER'
The only way we've found to fix this is to restart the SQL Express service. Obviously, that isn't a very useful alternative.
Has anyone run into anything like this? Could we have some setting wrong?
Would moving to the full version of SQL Server 2005 fix this?
