I'm brand new to web and ASP programming, but experienced with VB/VB.NET and SQL Server 2000 programming. I followed a tutorial and built a little website that lets you create a user login, login and change your password. I built this in Visual Studio 2005 using VB code and my understanding is that the site uses a SQLExpress database. There's an aspnetdb.mdf and .ldf file in the App_Data folder.
I want to deploy the website to a web server that is hosting SQL Server 2005, not express. Can someone be explicit about steps to take in order to do that? I've been trying a number of things in the web.config file, but I cannot seem to make a connectionstring that works. I also don't know what to do with the .mdf and .ldf files from the development server--I'm thinking they should not be deployed. Thanks for anything.

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?

Hi All,
I have created an installation application which will install the application with SQL Express and .NET Framework 2.0.
If i install this application in a Fresh system(i.e which is not having SQL Express), it is installing the application with new database instance successfully.
But if i try to install the same in a system which is already having SQL Express, throwing "Object reference exception" because it is not able to create the new database instance.
Can anybody help me out .

Because of numerous problems trying to get sqlexpress working, I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling (via Add or Remove Programs). However, now when I try to reinstall it, I get a message that the I am not making a changes so it won't let me install it.
I do have sql server 2005 developer's edition installed; is that the reason? and does that mean I cannot have both installed on the same machine?
Hi All,I've been struggling with this for hours...Could someone please advise me on how to convert my current File based SQL Server Express website to a Server based SQL Express one.Particularly interested in what I need to do in the SQL Express management tool, changes I need to make the projecvt itself and changes needed to get IIS to understand things have been changed.Thanks,Martin.

The project cannot be deployed because no target server is specified. Provide a value for the TargetServerURL property in the property page for this project.
So then I go to the properties page but there isn't a TargetServerURL field! There is only a file name and full path field. Does anyone know what is wrong? Could it be that I need IIS installed on my machine?

Hi, there;
I created a report using Report Sevice, but I cannot deploy it because of the security issue. If I try to open IIS, I got "Access Denied" message.
I checked another two developers' user settings, they are in the same user group as I am, but they can create/deploy report service.
So what should I need to create/deploy my report service?
cheers.
I have created a report project file on my local machine.Now I'm trying to deploy those reports to a development server. I have installed sql server and tools in my local machine but never configured reporting services. When I try to deploy those reports, it asks username and password for reporting services login.
But usually as far as I know, i should be able to deploy my reports without entering password etc. Even if I enter username and password, still they dont work.
Is that becase I install SQL server in my local machine?
Does anyone know why?
Thanks
I am trying to deploy a project to localhost, but I get the following error. I have only one package in this project.

Good day to ALL,
I have already setup a db to my client.
My sp's are all created using CLR.
If my sp's are changed, how do I deploy them back to my client?
I usually send them a backup of the DB during the first few implementation.
But currently, their DB now contains live data, so I can't just let them restore the backup.
Is there another way?
Thanks and more power!
Arthur
Hello all,
I've looked through this forum and haven't found an answer to my question, but I'll make this short and sweet, as I know your time is valuable.
I've taken a MS Access database and turned it into an SQL database for our server, it works. However, I want to make an identical database (to distribute to 30-40 employees) in SQL CE, so that employees can work on their laptops offline and sync their data to the main database when they return to the office. Am I going in the right direction, or is there a better way to do this?
I won't bother you for a step-by-step, but any and all info/guidance you could provide would be of great use to me.
Thanks for your time!!!

Hi all,
Ther is a DSN (fileDSN, SystemDSN, UerDSN) on the client machine. User of the client machine has created a DSN which is connecting to the MS-Access database of his own machine. When user deploy that DSN to the Local Server, Server getting problem to finding the DSN (which is made on client).
Please help me how to Deploy this DSN to server.
Thanks,
What would be the best way to deploy a database to customers?
Execute sql scripts to create the database on the customer's server, or distribute an .mdf file?
Package as msi?
Other ideas?
I do not have access to VS, but I hear it can do this... how can I do it without VS?
I am using CREATE ASSEMBLY to load dll form my server to SQLServer on my server (Same machine). How can I load the dll to another server? Do I have to write it on a directory on that server first? I tried to run the command from my pc connected to the other server, and I get a "cannot find file" error.
Question about deploying a SQL compact database with Clickonce. Deploying the first time is straightforward and that works OK but I am not so sure about consequent releases, how do I deal with the that?
If I mark the file as dont deploy that will, of course, work fine for those that have installed the first release but not for thoses that havent.
What about if I make a change to the database, adding a table for example. How do I go about that? I obviously dont want to loose any of the existing data?
Thx and Happy Christmas to all
I am trying to write an installation for my application.
I am using an SQL Express database as well as an ODBC driver to connect and querry an existing interbase database.
Therefore the install needs to do the following:
Install .NET - done
Install SQL Express - done
Install application - done
copy some XML files - done
Install ODBC Driver - done
Create database - not done
I am using a setup and deployment project to do the above. I have also written a small application to install the ODBC Driver and attepmt to create the database which I intend to run as a custom action if possible.
I have used the SQL management studio script wizard to write an sql script for creating the database with the intention of using an SQLconnection to run the script into the database but I can't seem to be able to make the connection.
I am trying using the following connection string...
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatamaster.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
But I get the following error message...
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatamaster.mdf".
Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft
SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatamaster.mdf failed. A database with the same name
exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers in advance.

Any help appreciated.
