Tis Has More Than Likely Been Asked Before But, How Do I IIS Without Opening External Ports On My Pc?
Apr 26, 2007
Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and would like to have a question answered. I want to to install Sql Server Express with advanced services but also want to have IIS installed as well. My question is, how do I install IIS without it opening Port 45? When I installed it, it would not let me finish installation without letting it act as a server. Is there any work around to solve this problem that any of you have managed to use?
This pertains to SQL Server 2000Do others have the problems that we have in our company, where we havea field from a table, and need to know all the SQL Server processesthat may change that value? I'm still hoping somebody can tell me of atool, or set of queries or something that will document the fields inthe tables and the processes that affect them, along with the valuesthat it sets. For example:TableA.FieldA:sp_InsertNewRec: sets field to Null when new record createdsp_ChangeStatus: sets field to the value of the parameter passed intr_LogChanges: sets field to be the current datetimeMaybe we're just too sloppy at my company, but it seems to be fairlyobvious need to have some sort of automated process that can providethat documentation. With thousands of fields, hundreds of storedprocedures, triggers, DTS's etc..., documenting this information is aVERY daunting task. Any help at all would be appreciated.Gary
I understand that SQL Express is a free tool and its placed between Access and SQL 2000 / 2005. I also understand that it supports Database upto 4 GB, which is quiet sufficient for any small or medium sized company.
My question is a bit confusing... let me explain. We get Access database free by the hosting comany. We just have to pay extra if we need SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 support, depending on size.
Will we get SQL Express Free support as its a lready free for all. In Access case, we just have to upload .mdb file along with rest of our code, what is the procedure for uploading SQL EXPRESS data. I believe since its a light weight tool,all the procedures must be same like Access.
Dear GroupI'd be grateful if you can provide me with a hint for the following:Fields Table ContactContactIDFirstnameLastnameFields Table ContactMethodContactMethodIDContactMethodTxtContactMethodTypeIDLinked by Tables:Fields Table LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethodLkTblIDContactIDContactMethodTypeIDFields Table ContactMethodTypeContactMethodTypeIDContactMethodThe purpose of this construct is that I keep all contactmethods suchas Email, Mobile, Home Work, Web in table ContactMethods. Whether it'se.g. an Email or Mobile is identified through the ContactMethodType.That enables me that a Contact can have 3 Mobile Numbers, 2 Emailaddresses.For the sake of simplicity, lets say I want to return the Contact Nameand Home, Work and Mobile numbers. Not all of them but the firstmatching record of each from the ContactMethod table.I must note that the contents of table ContactMethodType for columnContactmethod looks like this:EmailMobileHomeWorkWebI do:Select Firstname, Lastname, Home, Work, Mobile FROM ContactJOIN LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethod ON(LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethod.ContactID = Contact.ContactID)JOIN ContactMethod ON (ContactMethod.ContactMethodID =LkTbl_Contact_ContactMethodID)JOIN ContactMethodType ON (ContactMethodType.ContactMethodTypeID =ContactMethod.ContactMethodTypeID)The question is, how do I map the result from table ContactmethodTypeto my fields Home, Work and Mobile in the resultset? The Type isidentified in ContactMethodType but I can't figure out how to do thisbest.Your help and suggestions or any other better solution is veryappreciated.Thanks in advance for your help and efforts,Martin

Hello, I have several SQL 2000 logins on our servers. I removed the builtin/ groups and only have SQL authentication users, although the server is operating in "Mixed Mode". How can I secure this? I don't understand how we can just connect to any DB without ever being asked to log in. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.
Here is my goal please let me know if it is possible.
I have installed sql express on clients machines. I don't want them to be able to view the sp's or the functions. I would like to go as far as not allowing them to see the tables. I tried with encrption but this is still breakable by the user using the DAC.
Does CE
Support transactionscope?
What would I use to create tables and sp's for my sdf database? Server Managment Studio or something else?
I have a field which stores date which the datetime datatype... The problem is that I am also getting time information in this stored field.
I just want to extract the date part in dd-Mmm-yy format (e.g. 07-May-04). I tried convert (char (8), MyDateField, 112) but it gives me date in yyyymmdd format. How do I get the results in dd-Mmm-yy format instead?
I have a question about the best method to ensure the proper flow of control within a package. I have three related SQL tasks €“ A, B, and C €“ that must execute in sequence. If any one of the tasks fails then the remaining tasks should not execute because each is dependent on the previous step. (A €œsuccess€? precendence constraint.)
Likewise, I have a second set of SQL tasks €“ 1, 2, and 3 €“ that must execute in sequence. Task 3 should never execute unless tasks 1 and 2 have been successful.
I consider these to be two independent logic paths in the same package and, indeed, when I run the package both task A and task 1 begin running at the same time.
What I€™m not sure of is how to add a new task €“ Z €“ that will execute only after both the A-B-C and 1-2-3 task paths have completed. Diagramatically, this would be like having a €œcompletion€? constraint linking task C to task Z and another €œcompletion €œ constraint linking task 3 to task Z. In other words, the two independent paths merge at task Z. Task Z is an audit step that must always run €“ it emails summaries of the database activities performed by the other tasks.
What has me puzzled is how I get to Z when there is a failure in either the A-B-C path or the 1-2-3 path. As things stand now, the package will never reach task Z if there is a failure in an earlier task because they are joined by a €œsuccess€? constraint.
I thought I could get around this by using a €œsequence container€? but I discovered when I added A, B, and C to a container that I couldn€™t use the €œsuccess€? constraint I needed. I was just guessing that this might be the way to do it.
Can anyone help me with a best practice approach to the control flow issue I face? I€™m new if that isn€™t apparent by my question, so don€™t be afraid to make your answer simple and plain.
What ports does SQLMail use to access MS Exchange Server?? We have SQL 7 running on a seperate non-trusted domain(within the same DMZ) from where Exchange Server exists. The only trust we want between the 2 domains is the SQLMail functionality for the DBA's and Administrators to use. I am aware that MS Exchange uses 110 port for POP3 and port 25 for SMTP. Does this apply to SQLMail as well? Thanks in advance for your support.
hi every on am searching for a file which contains information about the instance in my sql server and the ports that this instances are running on ,am sure that there is a file like this but i cant find it please if u know it answer me ,,, and thanks alot for ur time//
Does anyone know what ports are required to be open (non-NT). We are placing the SQL-Server behind a UNIX firewall, and want to minimize the ports open.
Hello,How to determine, which ports do MS SQL Server instances listen to?I want to conect to sql server using PHP and I need to know exact portnumber. I suspect that my SQL (msde) server instances don't listen ondefault 1433 :]--Stefan
I'll have about 5 db's from an instance(server1instance1) mirrored to another server(server2/instance1). Do all of these db's have to have endpoints configured with different ports? I hope I'm clear on my question. Do I have to create a different endpoint for every db or can use the same endpoint? Thank you
Using SQL Configuration Manager, i have set my local instance to use TCP Dynamic Ports by setting the value under IPAll to be 0 (the value TCP Port is blank). However, when i start up the server this value gets set to a specific port. ie Before startup TCP Dynamic Ports = 0, After startup TCP Dynamic Ports = 2832. This value persists throughout SQL Server restarts.
Is this behaviour correct as I would have expected this value to stay 0?
I am using SQL Standard, SP2. SQL Browser is running.
I have two instances of SQl 2005 running on a server. One I'm going to allow outside remote access to. But I don't want to do it on the default port. though I have it allowing remote and that seems to be working. I can seem to find where to change the default listening port.
and I scimmed the help and topics I saw. But didn't see one relevant to this question.
When a ReportViewer control is used to access a report on a remote SQL Server database, on what ports does the communcation occur? Does the control communicate on on the SQL Server ports of 1433 and 1434 or does it communcate as a web service on port 80 (or 443 for HTPPS)?
If I am doing an Index Server query from SQL, such as:SELECTQ.*FROMOPENQUERY(FTIndexPM, ''SELECT path, characterization, rank, hitcountFROM SCOPE('DEEP TRAVERSAL OF .....can anyone tell me which TCP/UDP ports will be used between the SQLServer and the Index server if the Index Server is on another machine?I'm doing the query from SQL so that I can join the results with atable in the database and am not interested in doing the Index queryfrom the app server. I haven't been able to find any info on the netfor which firewall ports are used for this.
I was reading that Net-Library Encryption is an SSL utility. Does thatmean the traffic uses TCP port 443 or does it still use TCP 1433?Thanks.http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d..._ar_cs_6fu6.asp
With SSL, is all traffic from the client to the database on port 443 ? Or are other ports needed ?
With Windows Certificate Management Snap-in, a request for a certificate assumes that there is a local Certificate Authority. I don't have one and it is my understanding that I should buy a third party certificate to avoid a man in the middle attack. With IIS there is a certificate request process. Is there something similar I should use with SQL ?
When multiple instances of SQL 2005 are installed on a cluster or standalone server, is it best to have each instance configured to listen on a different port or will one port for all do? We don't use port 1433 and the port we do use is blocked at the firewall. I'd like to standardize on one port for all instances but I'm not sure of the ramifications. Any thoughts?
My SQL Server is a shared account at MaximumASP.com a client just deployed my .NET application on GoDaddy.com and they have all there ports blocked and my app cannot connect to the SQL Server. Using "Network Library =dbmssocn" in the connection string did not help and GoDaddy will not help. MY QUESTION IS: how can I get my .NET app to connect to the SQL Server? web service? This is the first time I have run into this problem. There seems like there has to be some way. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Note: but even the connection string "serverBserverA,2040" also connects to Instance "serverB", when i try to connect from SSMS, In SSMS it shows the wrong instance name like, "serverBserverB", but it actually connects to  Instance "serverA"
i.what is the reason behind this? ii.Is there any way to avoid this connection, by performing server property changes, if any ?
We have an internal sql 2000 server that acts as the database backend for our Internet presence. I believe that the sql server can be accessed because of a firewall "exception" (?) that allows the external web server to talk to the sql server using a specific IP address and port (namely that of the sql server.)
Now we need to install a sql 2005 instance on the same box which needs to act as an Internet backend. The sql browser service will resolve all client requests to the default or named instance. But I read that the sql browser service assigns a "dynamic" port to the Instance! If that is the case, it's unlikely that, unless the firewall has all ports open for outgoing traffic, that the sql instance will be able to communicate with the web server.
My conclusion:
Leave the default instance (sql 2000) port at its current value; assign the named instance an unused port; Make sure the sql browser is running on the box! Tell the firewall guys to make an exception for the new port.
I have an existing 2012 default SQL Express. It's set up on a VPS managed by a third party. I have an administrator account on this 2012 Windows server. I'm not much of a sysadmin or a DBA but I get around. ;)
I've installed a new NAMED instance on this VPS and can not connect to it with client tools (SSMS). If I remote in, I can connect this way.
What steps might a seasoned DBA expect to make when getting a new named instance ready for the world.
Assign a port? Check the port?
Open the firewall for the port?
Will this new named instance listen on a different port than the previously installed SQL Express instance?
I’m trying to follow the article http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031506-1.aspx. It gives a sample to download at the bottom which I did. I’m trying to take a look at the Stored Proc that were created in the PagingData.mdf. The only thing included in the App_Data folder is PagingData.mdf file. How can I open the DB or attach it to my SQL2005 server? There is no .ldf file included in the sample so the attaching is failing.
I used to use rdo in VB6 and now I'm trying to figure out how to use the SqlDataReader class in VB.NET. I want to use an ODBC data source to specify the connection info. I used to give the rdoConnection object a connect string that looked something like this:"DSN=[data source name];UID=[sql server user];PWD=[pwd]"I don't understand the connect string given in all the examples I've found (nor does it seem to work on my system...) mySqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local)VSdotNET;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=northwind")Does anyone have any ideas? I'm open to explanations as well as solutions :)Thanks,jdm
