Linq: SQL Network Interfaces, Error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
May 15, 2008
Hello,
I have deployed myWebApp on the IIS. All went well now, but the site does not have any connection with the database.
I've already done a search on the error 26, which gave me alot of hints about solving the problem.
Still I'm gettting this error.
I already enabled the remote connections through the sql surface area configuration.
Could it have something to do with the fact that I use LINQ? I can't find any connectionstring to modify anywhere ...
Help would be appreciated.

I have 2003 server installed on my machine along with MS SQL Server Management Studio and I am able to connect fine to SQL 2000 Instances. On my laptop running Vista Enterprise, I can not connect to these exact same instances via MS SQL Server Management Studio as I am getting the above error. Does anyone else have this problem? I have no idea what to check for anymore. Thanks in advance.

All aspects of my website work as expected when previewed in the browser locally. It appears that I successfully published the website to my hosting company server.After successfully accessing the login page from a hyperlink on the homepage, I attempt to login and receive the following error: Please advise.

Ok can somebody please explain to me why only 1/2 my project is getting this error. I am working with SQLExpress on a remote windows 2003 box. The sql server has its service running and the browser is also running. The server has been set to allow remote connections and to accept TCP/IP and Named Pipes. Now, the website uses asp.net membership and roles to allow the users to login, which actually works. So I know that there are no errors in that connection string. However, all the data acess code is compliled as a sepeate class library thats referenced in the bin directory. When calling those methods to beind to a control in code, is where i run into this error. The class library connection string in the app.config file is exactly the same as the connection string in the web.config...i have checked permissions as well, im at a loss to the reason why this is not working....its probably something simple, but im not finding it.
On a seperate note - How do i get the remote database to show up in the server explorer on vs2008, i have tried putting in the ip addressinstance name, and a combo of there items, it will not connect. I have a feeling the two issues are connected. Also fyi, on the remote box, I am able to login with the sql studio express, so im not really sure exactly wuts gong on. Both items are really important and i need to be able to use both of them.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I made a simple ASP.NET 2.0 Website that uses memberships, roles, and access to MS SQL Server 2005 database. Everything works fine on my development computer (WinXP Pro). When I deployed this Website on another computer (WinXP Pro) and tried to access the main page from the same computer, I get the error below.
I disabled the Windows Firewall (the only one I use), I ensured that SQL Server Browser is Active and Running, and I changed Remote Connections in SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration to use Local and Remote connections for all the components.
In my Web.Config I used:
<connectionStrings><add name="sqlConnString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DBdemo.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings>
Any idea why am I getting the following error?

This problem happens on this particular machine and doesn't happen on other machines that I have. And I think this problem belongs to this forum. Because the problem is triggered by a special setting in the connection string.
I followed the steps of threads including Xinwei Hong's instruction for fixing this error(26) but has no luck.
The problem occurs when I call SqlConnection.Open().
I am using window xp, sql2000. the named instance is on local machine, my connection string is like
"Data Source=MSL-1417762\SQL2000;Initial Catalog=PopulateForeignKeys_MSL_1417762_2_5984;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;Asynchronous Processing=true"
Whenever I change Asynchronous Processing=true into Asynchronous Processing=false, the problem is gone.
This problem also occurs when I use Visual Studio - Server Explorer - Add Connection dialog - Advanced button - Advanced Properties window where you can set Asynchronous Processing property to true.
Can you please help?
Thanks,

I'm having an issue when moving my site from my laptop that's running VWD Express and SQL 2005 Express to my production Windows 2003 server running SQL 2005 Standard. The site is a portal site that authenticates to my Active Directory, and uses roles bases in SQL. I can open the site on the laptop and everything works fine and I have no problems. Once I copy the site to the production server and try to access the site, I get the login page fine and try to login. The default page never opens so I'm thinking this must be some type of roles issue. Do I need to do anything with my ASPNETDB.MDF file to make it work with SQL 2005 Standard instead of Express version? I've already made sure that the SQL server is accepting remote connections...what other things do I need to do to my SQL server to ensure proper functioning? Any particular security user I need to be running particular services under? Thanks in advance...

First-time poster (and very new to ASP.NET, so please be patient) - I am using VS 2005. I have an ASP.Net 2.0 app that is using Forms Authentication and a Login server control with AspNetSqlMembershipProvider. I have an instance of ASPNETDB.MDF in the App_Data directory on my local machine and all works well (or at least as expected). I used the Copy Web Site function to port the app (including the ASPNETDB.MDF files) to my production platform, where I encounter the error mentioned in the subject line. I have found posts (both here and other forums) that mention enabling TCP/IP using Surface Area Configuartion Utility, SQL Server Browser are exempt from firewall, and a few other things. My production machine does not have SQL SVR 2005 installed nor SQL SVR Express. Do I have to install SQL Server Express onto my production platform in order to resolve this, or is there another means (something in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio on my local machine) that will enable me to do this on the production machine?Also, I have been told that it is possible to use a database on another machine as the data store for authentication. Does anyone know how to do that? This would make the first question moot.Thanks in advance!

This has worked fine for weeks, and months.
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.

Now you all must admit that, if your somewhat new to this databasing, It's a ***.
The source for my application is Visual Web Designer 2005 Express
It is an ASP.Net driven site with membership roles and all the good stuff.
the latest theory is that I need to change the provider config in the web.config file from AspNetSqlProvider
to something else. Most of my complications and frustrations come from GoDaddy and no access to the
shared server (understandibly).
I hope I gave enough info for help and not too much..

All,
One of our developers decided to load 2K5 client tools on to their laptop. They cannot connect getting the following error:
....Error: 26 Error Locating the Server/instance specified (.NET SQLClient Data Provider)....
1.) Allowing remote connections IS enabled.
2.) SQL Browser Service is ON
3.) Windows Firewall is NOT running
4.) All protocols (except VIA) are enabled
Others at this office, including myself, can connect fine in Management Studio. Only this one developer cannot.
Any thoughts and/or help would be much appreciated. I think that the problem has something to do with the first sentance above but I am not positive.
Thanks in advance,
DBA Ben

Hello all!
I have been researching this problem on the net. I have everything setup, here is the wierd part. I did a test windows application, and that application connects into my database just fine. I have SQL DEV 2005, everything is on my laptop. I have websites that I have wrote that connects fine.
I have application that give me this error. Now the only thing is that I wrote this windows app on a diffrent machine, with a diffrent SQL 2005 server. I had to move everything on my laptop, so I can finish on site at the clients place. So I grabbed the project, copied it over, and opened it on my laptop. No problems. I created a new database, scripted everything from the other server, and ran those scripts on my laptop to create the tables, SP etc.
Now my test application I created on my laptop, I can connect to the databse just fine with this string.
<add name="TestDataGrid.My.MySettings.TestConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=MKE01-2N92461;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I can also connect to the database that I brought over from the other server. Could there be somthing with the Datasets, or something like that?
Any Thoughts?
TIA!
Rudy

I'm still having this problem after hours of research. I've tried changing my connection string, changing the name of my instance, reconfiguring SQL Express, and even went so far as to take my firewall down completely when adding Sql Browser and opening port 1434 to the exceptions list didn't work.
I've read the blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx by Xinwei Hong - it seemed to be a nice approach to this problem and has obviously helped numerous people, but sorry Xinwei, it's not working for me.
I get the following error message when I try to use the Login control (out-of-the-box):
Server Error in '/' Application.
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)
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.

Provider Management
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I've verified (reverified, and re-reverified - to the point of performing several copy-paste functions from SQL Server Management Studio Express) the server and instance names. They are correct. I can connect to the databases through the Server Management Studio, but not through my websites.
I've tried using ServerInstance as well as Server\Instance, Server/Instance, and ServerInstance, port# - ALL to no avail.
This is all being done through localhost, so I don't see that this should be a DNS issue. I've verified that my SQL Server Browser service is running (and have restarted it after various configuration changes). I've added Sql Server Browser to the list of exceptions as well as opened up port 1433 and 1434 on my firewall. I've even tried taking my firewall down completely to run tests. And still I get that error.
[Edit: Accidentally posted prematurely]
Continuing on... my CURRENT connection string is as follows:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="pnpConnection" connectionString="Data Source=GLORIALOCALDEV,1433;Initial Catalog=pnpdb;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
I would like to be pulling my hair out right now, but I've just about ripped it all out, so I'm running short on that as of yet. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? There may be something larger going on, since when I use the Login Control and set the "VisibleWhenLoggedIn" property to "False", it hides the control even when there's noone logged in (and nothing in the aspnetdb database.
TIA,
Jason Satterfield

HiI have setup the membership schema on a hosted server using the asp_regsql.exe tool fine. I have setup roles/memberships using the website adminitraion tool and i have checked that its all being entered into my hosted MSSQL server. I have also setup my web.config file to point to the hosted server and all seems to be connecting ok! When i test/debug my project locally (using the F5 key), my login box works fine!How ever, i have now uploaded my project to my hosted server. If i put an incorrect login, then i get the usual 'Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.' - So i know its connecting to the right database. How ever, when i enter the correct login details, i get the following 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) ...if its connecting to the same database fine when i test it from my local machine, why will it not work when i test it from my hosted server? thanks

I'm having a real strange experience when grabbing the connectionstring property from the web.config. Let me explain: The following code works fine:========================================================================= SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("server=dbserver;database=dbdatabase;user id=userID;password=Password"); However, the following code generates an 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)"========================================================================= string strDbConnection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbConnection"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(strDbConnection); Web.Config Code===============================<connectionStrings> <add name="dbConnection" connectionString="server=dbserver;database=dbdatabase;user id=userID;password=Password" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> I have no idea why this is generating an error when I just simply assign the connectionstring property from the web.config to a local variable. I mean, it works when I use the connection string hard coded. Does anyone know why this could be happening? Thanks.

hi there;well i have a problem after i deployed my wep application to the server(hosting). the point here that the application (as i and the hosting company think) is trying to connect to local sql server!. there is no connection string that is pointed to local sql serevr. i used a dataset.xsd on the application for the tables on database, any configuration on the tables adapters shows that they are connected to remote sql server and there is nothing wrong. when i debug the application locally using the remote sql server, the application runs well and retrieve data from the hosting server. but when i deploy the application on server i get the this error;An error has occurred while establishing a connection to

Hi
I seem to have a quite common problem. I€™ve search forums and blogs both on Microsoft and outside but even though I find many people that have similar problems. After migrating from XP to Vista I can€™t seem to solve the problem. I can€™t seem to get by Windows Form application based on framework 2.0 to connect to my locally stored SQL Server 2005 Express database. The application has not changed and the environment (apart from the operating system) hasn€™t changed either. No matter what I try the problem persists.
The thing that confuses me the most is that I within Visual Studio 2005 can preview data in the data sources tab. In my understanding, both uses the same connection string but I find it possible that the user might differ but I don€™t understand why is should.
From my point of view (and might of course be wrong) these things should not be the source of the problem:
· The firewall, since that has been turned off
· The connection string, since that actually work when performing a preview data
· The remote settings, since the server and the client is on the same machine
· The SQL Browser, since I tried connecting using a TCP/IP connection with the same results
Possible problems:
· SQL User access, if the user when performing preview is for some reason not the same as when the application runs
· A Vista problem of some sort
I€™ve read basically everything I€™ve been able to find on the issue but even though the symptoms fit the solutions don€™t solve the problem. This problem has been haunting me for weeks now and I€™m really out of ideas?
Here is a listing of things I€™ve tried without success:
· The remote settings in the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration has been turned on even though I don€™t understand to what end since the server and client in this case reside on the same physical machine. However this did allow me to try connections using TCP/IP. I did restart both the services and the computer to be sure.
· Connections using TCP/IP where the connection string supply contain tcp:<ip>,<port>
· Different exceptions in the firewall, both on port level (for UDP and TCP) and on application level (sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe). The dynamic port setting has was changed during this test to a static port setting.
· A number of variants of the connection strings (e.g. using ./sqlexpress instead of <machine_name>/sqlexpress)
· All the error logs (Event logs, SQL ERRORLOGS and firewall log while it was turned on) have been checked and the only reoccurring message is a warning message from the SQL Browser: The configuration of the AdminConnectionTCP protocol in the SQL instance SQLEXPRESS is not valid.
The server and the client reside on the same machine.
[1] These are the specific CLIENT side settings:
1. Connection string: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Products;Integrated Security=True
2. Full 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I can ping the server
3. Client and server reside on the same machine
4. Yes I can ping the machine
5. Haven€™t tried
6. SQL Server Management Studio Express works, using Visual Studio 2005 works but the applications built by VS2005 doesn€™t work.
7. N/A (Client and server reside on the same machine)
8.
9. No alias used
10. No encryption used.
[2] These are the specific SERVER side settings:
1. SQL Server 2005 Express SP2
2. Se above
3. Protocols enabled Shared Memory, TCPIP and Named Pipes
4. Yes, there are not errors in the ERRORLOG
5. Yes the SQL Browser is enabled and active and must work at least in some aspects since the preview data works
6. Currently running as default: Network Service
7. The firewall is turned off entirely
8. The firewall is turned off entirely
[2a] Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Developers
[3]
1. Vista Business
2. No antivirus installed at this point.
Hope for some help.

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.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Have installed the club site starter kit on my pc and all it works well locally. I've used visual studio to publish my site to my third party webhost. Ive created the DB on their server and altered the connection string to:-
<connectionStrings>
<!--<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Server=xx.xx.xx.xx;Database=somedatabasename;User ID=user;Password=Password;Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>-->
</connectionStrings>
Now its on the webhosts server i get a 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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
This occurs when im trying to login in or register.
Can any one help.

Hi ,
I got this error when i uploded my web site on web server. I provided the connection string in web.config provided by my web server.Connection string is ok..i dont know what is wrong....searched the net a lot but could not find any solution.
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)
Plz help if sombody know the solution

Hi,
I am unable to connect to an instance of SQL Server on my machine.
Using osql -S np:\.pipemssql$seattlesqlquery -E I can but if i specify the instance name as below it fails. Also, using sqlwb i am not able to connect to the server.
Named Pipes is enabled.
Any ideas??
C:>osql -S np:\.pipemssql$seattlesqlquery -E
1> use master
2> go
C:>osql -Sgod2seattle -E -dmaster

Ive been having this issue for a while - i did fix it but after uploading my site i again have this problem. Replicating the same steps as i had before didnt resolve.
I have a PC running WinXP + updates SQL 2005 Express + Updates.
A server running SBS Windows 2003 Standard + updates and .Net 3.5 framework/extensions etc. It also has SQL 2000 + SP3 (i think - i say i think as one applications claims to have SQL 2000 SP3, if i right click SQL in the bottom right hand corner and select About it says SQL 2000 8.00 2039)
I created an app in VS 2008 and connected it to the SQL 2000 database on the server. I then have membership and roles enabled in this app too. Works fine on my PC. I decide to upload it to the server for testing. I receive the message:

I played around and fixed it somehow but the problem returns. So far in answer to the questions from the blog:
1) Make sure your server name is correct, e.g., no typo on the name.
Im certain im using the correct server name
2) Make sure your instance name is correct and there is actually such an instance on your target machine. [Update: Some application converts \ to . If you are not sure about your application, please try both ServerInstance and Server\Instance in your connection string]
Not too sure about this one as far as i know this string allowed me to connect to the database when using it from my local PC
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SalesConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=Sales2008; Integrated Security=True; user=sa; password=;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
3) Make sure the server machine is reachable, e.g, DNS can be resolve correctly, you are able to ping the server (not always true).
If i can connect from my local PC guess this would be ok??
4) Make sure SQL Browser service is running on the server.
I right click SQL in the bottom right hand corner and select two services (Sql Server and Sql Server agent) both are running.
5) If firewall is enabled on the server, you need to put sqlbrowser.exe and/or UDP port 1434 into exception.
Firewall is disabled under services until i can resolve this and then i can test it.
Im lost at this point as where to look for the solution on this one. Ive also checked to see if SQL 2000 Client Network Utitlity has TCP and Named Pipes enabled and it has.
I cant upgrade this instance to SQL 2005 as it wouldnt do it. I can only add SQL 2005 side by side but then im not to sure what to do to get the database transferred over (that'll be another day i think)
Thanks for any help.

I am having a problem connecting to my sql server express instance from a remote computer. I continue to get the above mentioned error. If I connect for the localhost everything works fine however when I try to connect from a different computer on the LAN it gives me this error. I have turned on remote access and still no luck. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
