I have 2 Win2000 Servers (SP4)
WinSQL has installed SQL Server2000 (SP3)
The other Server (MDAC 2.8) Enterpricemanager and Dbamgr2K.
With the Dbamgr2K(3rd Party) i can connect the SQL Server.
With Enterpricemanager Timeout. Strange
I want to use a PHP script to connect the extern Database and select Query but it doesnt work.
SQL State = 08001 Native error = 17
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]
On local SQL Server it works fine.
Have you any Ideas ?
What can I do for Troubleshooting ?
Thanks

I'm running Vista Ultimate. SQL 2005 is set as my Default instance, and SQL2000 is set as (local)SQL2000.
Today, actually half way through today, I restarted my computer after installing Photoshop Updates.
Upon getting my computer back up and running, I cannot access SQL2000 from any website on my computer, nor can I access it from SQL2005 Management Stdio. I CAN access it from Enterprise Manager (SQL2000 tool).
Whenever I run an web app that connects to it I get this 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)
Now I usually get these when ASP.NET can't point to the right spot, but in this case I'm pointing exactly where I need to go. Any thoughts?
--Edit
I should also add my password got changed a few days ago on our Domain. This was the first time restarting after the PW change.
I've installed SQL2005 on a server already running SQL2K on my laptop. SQL2K is the default instance, so I'm trying to connect to SQL2005 using MYSERVERSQL2005 as the instance.
The steps that I've taken are to apply SP2 and enable remote connections (TCP & Named pipes). I've also made sure the SQL Server Browser service is running and enabled.
The error message that I get via SQL2005 client tools is "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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)"
I dont understand as to why i am unable to connect to 2005.
I am getteing need help Query analyzer error Unable to connect server local Msg17, level 16,state 1 ODBC SQL server driver [DBNETLIB]SQL server does not exist
When I try to run the following code I get the message (translated) "The format of the initial string doesn´t comply with the specification beginning at index 0". System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("ConnectionString");
I assume the string mentioned is the connection string? It looks like so <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=213.50.92.30;Initial Catalog=AdminDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> Again, I really appreciate any help..
hi if someone could help, i appreciate: i have windows 2003 server and sql server 2000, i have a few machines connected via odbc and seems to work fine, my problem is when i try to make a new connection via odbc, appears: sql server odbc error: ConnectionOpen and server does not exist or access denied, i try few things, make a ping to the server and i got response, check the users and passwords, the mdac, check that the port 1433 is established in the client network utility, etc, now when i do a telnet to the server the port 1433, appears and error: couldnt connect,i believe this is why i cant make a odbc connection, but i cant figure it out how to make the port listens my petitions., now if itsa supossed to be closed, why the others machines cant connect just fine??
The following error happens in my ASP.NET page from time to time. It will disappear after I restart the SQL Server. I guess I messed up in the garbage collection, but I really don't know what to do except using "conn=nothing" statement, can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Hi all, I am using SQL 2005 Express to store my databae on a remote server, I already set remote connections to Local and remote connections (Use TCP/IP only) and also allow it to listen all the ports. Also I disabled my firewall. Then In my web.config file I add the conncting string like below
<add name="ConnString" connectionString=" Server=123.xxx.xxx.xxxDEV11SQLEXPRESS; Database=xxx; User ID=tester; Password=test; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Then I got the following error

All of my client boxes connect nicely to MS OLAP Server except one which fails with the following message: "Cannot connect to the registry on the server computer (servername)" where servername is the name of the server on which OLAP server resides.
Hello I've spent close to 3 hours trying to figure this out. I have SQL Server 2000 Developers Version + Service Pack 4 installed on Machine A which is running Windows XP Pro. I have Machine B running XP Pro and Apache 2.0 + PHP 4.40.
SQL Server is configured to SQL Authentication + Windows Authentication.
PHP is configured as follows: ; Use NT authentication when connecting to the server mssql.secure_connection = Off
When trying to connect with either mssql_connect or odbc_connect I get the following error: Quote: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'user'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection., SQL state 28000 in SQLConnect
I have tried adding a System DSN to MDAC and it can connect no problems to MS SQL. I don't know what to do, I've googled and tried every possible solution and it didn't help.
Is there a way to make SQL accept any connections? I don't care if its insecure I just need it for several days to develope a small application.
Here is the sample code I'm using to test the connection:
I have loaded NT4 onto a machine with 256MB's of ram. I have put on SP6 and the hard drive is 80GB's in size. I then loaded in SQL Server 6.5 and set up my default database at 250MB's in size. I can ping all other computers on the network and they can ping me but when I try to register the database it give me a unable to connect error. This is the 10004 error. The error is Execomm and it says the DBPROCESS is dead. I guess thats cause it won't connect. The Sqlserver is running and so is the sqlexecutive running.

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)
Also, I am running the Upgrade advisor from my machine (SQL 2000) and trying to access the SQL 2000 db on another machine. So I do not have SQL 2005 in any machine.

I am trying to connect to SQL Server through Query Analyzer but getting following error: (SQL Server is at remote web server where i have my website hosted.)
Unable to connect to server [server IP]:
Server: Msg 6, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][dbnetlib] Specified SQL server not found.
I have searched this forum for this error and performed following workaround as suggested in some threads-
1. checked and set "TcpPort" registry setting. 2. TCP/IP is enabled in Network Utility. 3. "start SQL server if it is stoped" checkbox is unchecked while connecting.
But, I am still getting the above error. Should i re-installed SQL Server 2000? Any help?
I have been working for a few weeks on a local SQL server (express) on my computer all worked ok, until 2 days ago I got the following error message:
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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Where can I find the setting for remote connections? Also any idea why this happened?
Additional Information: An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that unthe default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
I have installed sql server 2005 Express with SQLADV.exe. But when I open Management Studio Express it has error:

I have 2 servers: #1 -- SQL 2005 SP1 publisher ; #2 -- SQL 2005 SP2 subscriber
originally I had #1 as pub and dist but dist but killing my CPU so I was in the process of moving the dist to #2... Got it all configured and when I tried to add #2 as a dist for #1 it fails when I get to the administrative password screen... It give me an error about how it cannot connect with the given password but under that is says linked server failed.
Since it mentioned linked server I tried to connect via the previous linked server to #2 and it failed... I cannot connect to #2 anymore from #1. I can login directly to #2 and I can use osql to connect to #2 but linked server does not work. I tried all drivers and many configurations...
II use the mirroring wizard to config all these three servers(windows authorization is used), the error logs in primary server and mirror server are showed as below a) On primary server: Error: 1474, Severity: 16, State: 1 Database mirroring connection error 4 'An error occurred while receiving data: '10054(An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'.' for 'TCP://mymirror.mydomain:5022' b) On mirror server: Database Mirroring login attempt by user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON.' failed with error: 'Connection handshake failed. The login 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON' does not have CONNECT permission on the endpoint. State 84.'.
It states I do NOT have permission on this endpoint, but actually, I grant the permission to the endpoint on both primary and mirror server using command GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Mirroring TO [mydomainmyuser]; Also, I followed the article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189127.aspx ,no firewall issue, the endpoint is created and started by checking sys.database_mirroring_endpoints Hope someone can help me resolve this issue... Thank you very much..
I have this job that download 4 files once a month from the same server. The files are sizable and I need to download them in less than 5 hours total. In 2000 I use an active x script to generate the ftp script then execute the script. all four files download at the same time in 4 different tasks with no issues.
I am rewrote the process in 2005 so that it uses the IS FTP function but when all 4 ftp tasks kick off they all fail... instantly. the initially shared the same FTP connection manager so I created different ones for each and still the same result
the error is one that relates to changing directories.... Now if I just run one of the tasks it runs fine it is just when more than one try to run at once. I ended up putting in 10 second delays between each ftp task kicking off and it works just fine...
Does this sound like a bug??
Also... I am on SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1 on Windows 2003 enterprise SP1.
I have been for years using the following code locally in native ASP (except different UID and PWD and file path for the msado15.dll) with SQL Server 2000 on XP to do my development and then I upload to the web site later (uses different objConn etc when live). I've now tried to use the same for SQL Server Express and Vista and always get the "does not exist or access denied" error ( 2147467259).
I only want to use SQL Server locally from the machine I'm developing on as I upload the tested "ASP" code to the server which runs it. The SQL Server Browser is running and I have checked the Firewall exclusions for sqlservr.exe. Also I installed it with out Windows Logon (same as I had for SQL Server 2000).
Any ideas, I tried using the Data Source=localhost instead of explicitly defing the path except that had no affect either, I also changed the rshstest_data.mbf to rshstest.mbf as well also to no affect as there appears a difference with this in 2000 and Express?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks..

SQL Express running on Server 2003 SP1, not a domain controller - but prior to installing SQL Express, I did dcpromo promote and then demoted it back to a workgroup server.
Connecting with Vista build 5600, Studio express 9.00.2047 with MDAC 6.00.5600.1638. Server 2003 MDAC is 2.82.1830.
Is my mis-matched versions of MDAC causing me this grief?
Otherwise, I have remote set up for TCP and Named Pipes, I've run sp_configure 'remote admin connections', 1; my login is set to SQL Authentication with everything granted. I've tried running the service as network, local and MachineAdministrator; ports are open per:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555585
I wanted to ask before I start replacing the MDAC on either the Vista or Server 2003 machine... If that's the problem, which version(s) do I change? to?

We have recently migrated from SQL 2000 (32bit) to SQL 2005 on Win2003 (both are 64bit). And we have Legacy DTS packages on SQL 2005, some packages are pulling records from Oracle 10g (32bit server). When I execute the DTS package I am getting following error.
Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.

Did I need to install/update any MS OLE DB driver for Orace. Some blogs & forums suggesting to install Oracle 10g Client. If so Which version of Oracle client(32bit/64bit) I have to install?.
Hi! I understand that this topic is one of the most discussed topics ever. However i could not find the relevant information after going through (almost) all the posts so far. Hence this post. I am getting the 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' error when I am trying to access SQL Server from a WINDOWS SERVICE. SQL Server and the Windows service are running on two different machines. (When they are on the same machine, it works). All the solutions I found so far are related to web apps. What should I do in the case of a windows service? My connection string uses SQL server authentication. (I tried with windows authentication. Its not working either.). Under what login does windows services run and how can I add it to valid SQL server logins?

I installed SQL 2005 including backward compatibility, MSDN libraries and SP2 a new Windows 2003 server (chose mixed mode authentication). Installation was successful and I then installed an off the shelf database with Windows authentication which also installed successfully. I created a new group in AD, added the database users into the group and gave db-owner rights to the group in SQL as advised by the installation guide. However, when I try to open the database it gives an error message saying "Cannot open database.[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).] SQL server does not exist or access denied". I also tested it adding an individual user (myself) as a user to no avail. When I set up DSN in ODBC on my computer I can successfully test the connection but can't run the application. The connection is via TCP/IP. Any suggestions?
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
