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.

I am working on a project for a professor. The project entails designing and creating a database. We were given individual space on the schools database server and we were given SSH secure shell to connect and manage our respective databases. I took it upon myself to try out SQL Server Express. Using the management studio I am trying to connect to my school database and cant seem to figure it out. Can someone please give a noob some simple and quick instructions on how to achieve this?
Thank you,

hi... i need help. i tried to install sql server 2000 on my laptop (WinXP os) and when i reach the form where im supposed to click "Install Database Server", the next form after clicking "Install Database Server" wont show, and there are no error messages. I tried everything i could but it didnt work. My last choice is to format my computer - but i dont want to do that.
there are two processes running on the background that has SQL in its name - SETUPSQL.EXE and SQLSTP.EXE. I think this shows that the setup is still running.
i need help asap please, and i dont want to format my computer...
I recently joined a company that is having an issue connecting to SQL Server Integration Services on one of their production servers. When trying to connect via management studio, both locally and remotely, they receive the error below. The server is a 64 bit server and is using third party replication (Veritas).
It sort of sounds like the issue described in this knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919224. However, we do not have a problem creating maintenance plans. I'd just give it a shot but its a production server and getting approval to do anything that modifies the registry with the registry replication setup is a pain, so I'd like to determine if there could be another cause first.

Hey all,I am new to ASP.NET. While executing a simple code , i got the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.Whats wrong? RegardsYasir
I'm trying to connect to an SQL server, but I'm unable. It suggests this is because SQL server does not allow remote connections, and points me to the named pipes provider, error 40 Could not open a connection to SQL server. I am running SQL express service pack 2 under Vista. I am a member of SQL administrators (set during installation). Under the SQL Server Configuration manager, SQL server and Browser are running, the protocols for sqlexpress and the native client have enabled shared memory, named pipes, and tcp/ip. I tried removing and creating a new database. Now it sits under the database Engine section of Management Studio Express, with a white circle on the database icon. When I try to connect to this database, using either windows authentication or sql server authentication, it fails. What else is there to try? If there was a troubleshooting guide, that would be helpful.
I downloaded an ASP.NET web application from the web to learn the .NET framework. I was successful in running the website on my laptop using ASP.NET Development Server that comes with Visual Studio 2005. My laptop is running Windows XP Professional and SQL Server 2005. I am now trying to do the same on my desktop computer running Windows Vista; however, for some reason i am getting an error when the website tries to connect to the DB. Here are the steps i have followed so far:1. I tried to configure the website DB connection the same way i configured it on my laptop. Basically I use the following connectionStrings: <connectionStrings> <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=TheBeerHouse;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>2. That same connection string worked fine on my laptop. But I got the following error on my desktop: 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)I am wondering if the error is related to Vista. When i try to connect to that DB using SQL Management Studio via Windows Authetication and do not run it as Administrator then I cannot connect to the DB. In other words, only when i run SQL Management Studio as administrator i am able to use Windows authentication to connect to that DB.3. Next, I tried creating a SQL login. I made sure I can use that login to access the DB directly using SQL Management Studio. In addition, I changed the database to allow "Local and remote connections" "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes".4. Changed the connectionStrings in web.config to: <connectionStrings> <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=TheBeerHouse;Integrated Security=False;uid=*****pwd=****" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> Obviously, the actual connectionString has the actual user name i created and the correct password instead of (*) asterisks.5. And once again, I got same error as above Any help will be appreciated!
While attaching a sql db to a sqlDataSource, an error is poping up, stating that "the db is currently accessed by another process, the connection will be closed". Plz put some light on this. Thanking you, Sankar.
My computer is running in Windows Authentication Mode.
I have tried replacing the UID and PWD to my sa account settings, but I still can not connect. The books says I need to manually add a login that has access to the AspNETJobsDatabase, but I assume that would be the sa login or do I need to create another all together? If so, can anyone suggest an article to lead me in that direction.
Any suggestions would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
I have a major problem here. Hope you guys can help.
I have a VS2005 project that uses a DB I developed on and MSDE database using TOAD for SQL. A while ago I upgraded to SQL Server Express and all was well.
Next I was looking to create a deployment package for both the application and BD so after a bit of reading I created a connection to the DB in my VS2005 project with the intention of making it a dependency so both app and DB could be installed in one go (maybe not the best idea L). Previously I had just been using a connection string and opening/closing the connection as and when it was needed (this app only runs for 5 minutes each night).
This however has now stopped the ability to connect to the database with any of my DB development tools (Toad and the SQL management app that comes with express).
When I try to connect I get the following error

I had a look at the connection string that VS2005 is using and it looks nothing like the standard connection string I was using previously. It seems that the action of creating the connection with VS has changed/corrupted something on the DB.
To ad to my woes I also have to either change the connection string (this built using an xml file containing the all the elements of the string and parsed in allowing be to edit the string depending on the environment) to match the one VS is using or change my code to use the new connection.
I would prefer to revert back to the way it was working previously and figure out a different method of deploying the software.
Dear All, I've created a new database for our new project, taken the scripts from VSS, as there is no error in the scripts, i've run the scripts and everything is fine with sql server 2000. but while i'm trying to connect to the database from 2005, it is getting error....as the database 'db086' is not accessible.(microsoft.sqlserver.express.objectexplorer).

Hi, I have a little question regarding SQLServer2000 vs ADO of Visual Basic 6
In a code snipplet a have something like:
Conn1.BeginTrans
Set rec_tmp = Conn1.Execute("SELECT * FROM IDENTIFICATIONS;")
Conn1.Execute "DELETE FROM CARS WHERE CAR_ID = 8;" . . . Conn1.CommitTrans
and whe VB tries to execute the line with the DELETE sentence the Err object says something like: "cannot create a new connection because you are in distributed or manual transaction mode"
However, if I remove the line that executes the sentence SELECT * FROM IDENTIFICATIONS the error never shows up. Seems like I canīt execute a SELECT before a DELETE/UPDATE even if I execute the SELECT in some other table. Iīve tried changing the IsolationLevel, Mode and Cursor Location properties and the error always occurs. Furthermore, I tried putting the SELECT out of the transaction and the error continues showing up.
Why does this occurs? Is there a way to solve it?
NOTE: I need forcely to execute that SELECT before the DELETE.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 with SQL Server 2000.

I have a perplexing problem. I've developed an ASP application for our internal business use. I'm getting ready to launch, but every once in a while the application can't connect to the database.

I'm afraid of launching without understanding what causes this and gettign a fix. To get it working again, we restart IIS and it works fine. I used VWD 2005 Express and it's running on SQL Server 2005 Express. Thanks for any help you may have.Scott J.

Ok, I'm new to all this, so please keep that in mind. I've built my first asp.net site and it works fine locally, but isn't working after I upload it. The site was setup to utilize asp.net 3.5 framework automatically, but since the host uses 2.0.50727.42, I adjusted the site to utilize 2.0 framework (hopefully that worked ok). The host is running an SQL 2000 server, so maybe my problem has to do with that, since the error is saying SQL Server 2005 (which is what I have installed locally). If this is the problem, can I adjust the files in Visual Studio somehow to work with a SQL 2000 Server? Here's the error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Hi All,I've written an ASP.NET 2.0 app that is working perfectly on my local machine when using SQL Server Express 2005 as a data source. To connect to Express I'm adding a connectionString in my Web.config file:<add name="libInstruct" connectionString="Server=localhostSqlExpress;Database=theDatabase;Integrated Security=True;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> I'm trying to migrate this app to our SQL Server box for live production use. I have detached the database from SQL Server Express 2005 and attached it in the production SQL Server box. Our SQL admin has created a SQL server username and password (not Integrated Security). All I have done is change the connectionString in my Web.config file to: <add name="libInstruct" connectionString="Data Source=the server IP address;Initial Catalog=theDatabase;User Id=theUserID;Password=thePassword;"/> Are there steps in the process that I am missing? I'm getting an exception when I try to connect to the db - System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'libInstructWriter'. Reason: The password of the account must be changed.Thanks for any help you can offer! Thom CoxMedford, MA

Hi Again,I have MSDE on ASP1.1 on a PC and have a logon page that uses a stored procedure to check my auth_user table, if logon and password exist then it returns (1) else returns (0).I used objparams.return to pick up the returned value and either server.transfer to opening page or label text message 'login not valid'. This is insde a try and the catch is another label, 'cannot connect to database'.Running on my local PC all is fine, transferred SP and table to hosting server, along with web.comfig set to the host servername, uid, password and database. On the host server all errors messages are returned. I have created a connection in my VS7 database manager to the remote host and the same happens after amending my connection string to run on the remote server.It clearly is the connection string, I am using the <appsettings> add Key to connect as I thought it would mean no change of coding in my pages when moving from Dev PC to Server. I have checked the hosting server setup and used the server name associated with the database (mssql3.securedc.com) , checked uid, password and database settings. Is there something I have missed like permissions, specific security settings on the host server (I have to go through a third party as the hosting is done through a friend of my client)?? Many thanksEarle
