DataSource Controls :: SQL Server Express 2008 Not Running?
May 6, 2010
After reimaging my hard drive, I reinstalled SQL Server Express 2008, this time using the Windows Platform Installer for the first time. Tried running websites within VS2008 and VS2010 and can't connect to database. Tried to turn on using Sql Server Config Manager. Won't turn on. Also tried to connect via Sql Server Management Studio 2008, but got this error:
A network-related or instance specific error occured....the server was not found or was not accessable.
is there any difference between sql express and sql client. Actually I have been told to install a sql client using which i will connect to the sql server installed remotely. Also I have sql express edition 2008 installed on my machine. So is it the same. Will I be able to connect to the sql server using the sql server express edition.?
I have been attempting to install sql server express 2008 but have come across problems. I downloaded it via web platform installer and it ran the install process, and I thought this would be it, but then upon creating some wizard log in controls on a website they won't work because its not installed. Then i relised I can't actually run the program, only some of its features. I then found the Installation centre and thought, oh I haven't actually installed it yet, and when I select new SQL server stand-alone installation or add features, instead of going through the process like it states on tutorials for installs, it asks me to browse for installation media, which I do not have because I downloaded the express edition.
I used that Microsoft Windows installer and installed visual web developer 2008 express and sql server 2008 so I thought. visual web developer works find.
When I look at sql server 2008 all I see is import export data link.
and the configuration tools.
In the configuration tools I see the following:
sql server configuration manager. sql server error and usage reporting sql server installation center.
So I figure sql server 2008 was not fully installed.d
I open the installation center and went to system configuration checker but I get a dialog
box that say browse for sql server 2008 installation media.
I have vs2008 . I wat sql server and management tools .
I uninstalled all previous sql 2005 stuff and downloaded SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe for sql server express 2008.
I followed the instructions from below.

I got an error on install when it claims I have a previous ver of vs2008 and need to install sp1 which I have. After installing sp1 I still get same error.
When I use Login control with integerated security and user instance to connect Sql Server 2008 Express. When I browser the web page in VS2010 in Solution Explorer's right click context menu "Browser in Explorer", it works correctly, but in IIS 7 get an error as follow:
User does not have permission to perform this action.
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.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: User does not have permission to perform this action.
I use IIS 7, an administrator user credential, application pool's identity is Newwork Service.
After I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition, then I upgrade "SQL Server Express 2005" to "SQL Server Express 2008 SP2". Process upgrading SQL Server Express 2008 was going succesfully (none of the process was fail).
But when I create a New Website I could not add a new item "SQL Server Database" into my website file. Because Visual Studio always rejected any new "SQL Server Database" by giving message below (underline):
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.
I am developing a C# VS 2008 / SQL Server 2005 Express website application. I have tried some of the fixes for this problem but my call stack differs from others. And these fixes did not fix my problem. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?

quick question on SQL Studio Mgt Expres (SSMES) 2208. I have been googling around but could not find a clear cut answer to this simple issue:Is it possible to connect to a remote db using SSMES 2008? The options at login appear to be restricted to Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition only. On the SSME 2005 version, there was an option to connect to remote db's usging server name & pwd. Has this feature been disabled in the 2008 Express version?
I have written a website in ASP.NET with a back-end database using SQL Express 2008. My database is created and put in the App_Data folder. It is ok when it runs on my local machine. However, when I upload to the web server, I got the error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and ettingsDesktopProject2_ISAM5337App_DataEvent.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. By the way, I notice a same probelm : When I move my project to a location which is different from specific path for my database, I got the same error message .
Using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with what I'm assuming is Sql 2008 Express. Using SqlDataSource, when I try to configure a data source, I'm able to input a server name: (local)sqlexpress and the "Test Connection" button shows that it was successful. However, if I type in a new database table name and VWD 2008 asks if I would like to create it, I keep getting the message: "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT." No idea what that means or how to fix it. I can't open theDatabase Explorer View.
we can open an SQL Server 2005 DB in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 EXPRESS, woith out it converting to 2008?We want to connect to a remote sql 2005 server in sql server management studio 2008 EXPRESS.
Would something be missing, not working, or confusing if I do this? First, install SQL Server 2008 Standard, and SP1. Then, install Visual Studio 2010 Professional, unchecking SQL Server 2008 Express option. Or would I need to fix any configurations afterwards?
I have a web service that runs a query (from C#) to get a dataset from sql server. I get the following time out error. Googling on this error says, you can set the timeout on command object. But I am not using command object to set the timeout. This is the code I am using to get the dataset.
We have a cient we are stting up that has 2 separate physical servers, one that is the web server the other the database server. Using impersonation we have been able to get the website to connect and retrieve data from the sql server so that part is not an issue. The problem is I have a windows service application that must be installed on the web server (as it process files downloaded to an ftp site) and it must be able to connect and write to the sql server as well.We tried adding a system.web block with the impersonation stuff to the app.config file which of course did not work. Can anyone tell me what/how we need to configure this properly?
In Visual Web Developer 2008, creating new sqldatasource connection, I not find ".NET Framework Data Provider for MySQL". I have already installed MySQL Connector/Net 6.2. I could add a reference to MySql.Data. Why!
When i tried to attach 2008 database in sql server 2008 it is throwing the error-
"The database 'actitle' cannot be opened because it is version 655. This server supports version 611 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.Could not open new database 'actitle'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 948)"
When i execute 'select @@version' it gives 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Workgroup Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 3) 'How the version still be 2005 when im in 2008 ..How can i attach my 2008 database back up.
I am about to get my sites hosted with a local host company. They are offering me their lowest cost MSSQL server, which is the web edition. So my question is what is the difference between that and 2008 express edition? Can express edition be used for a full fledge in production website? And does Web implies that I will be interacting with it via the web correct. Lastly, if the web version is not chosen what is the typical protocol for uploading and maintaining a site when you have a dedicated server. Do you normally have to go to the data center or is there like a web portal that can be used. I will be asking the guys at the company these questions as well, but I want to make sure I get another opinion on the issue.
I am considering moving my personal website across from one hosting to another the new hosting will use a SQL Server 2008 Express DB. Is there any easy way of moving the information from MySQL to SQL Server 2008 Express DB.
