Security :: Error Establishing A Connection To SQL Server?
Oct 7, 2010
I was able to publish a web application with many projects inside it and which connects to oracle databasenow, I put it on remorte IIS 2003 server but it gave this error that has to do with aspnetdb fileA network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)and then I tried it on my local windows7 IIS local host and I got this error Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.
I just installed sql server 2008 R2 on my computer. I am trying to connect to sql server throught my C# code and everytime I run the C# program,
I get this error "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) "
The connection string that I used in my web.config file is

I am not sure what am I doing wrong, but I followed this article below step by step and still I am getting the same error
I've created a small website with a simple sqlite database using vwd 2010 .net 4. In dev and test envionments everything works fine, however when i promote to my hosting provider i receive the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
I've been configuring the connection strings (autogenerated from entity framework and attached db) but unable to get it working on the hosting provider, I'm assuming it's related to permissions but not entirely sure how to resolve - here's the web.config as it stands:
Everything was working fine yesterday afternoon before going home.. shut down with no issues and this morning when i try to open SQL i get error message with the following, im on a deadline with this project and cant afford to lose what i have setup already.

I am trying to create a simple login page in ASP.NET C# but am getting some error.
I googled about the error, and tried all the solutions but to no avail.What am I doing wrong? The error is:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
I think it's something to do with my connection string which is as follows:
"HCL" is another machine connected to my PC through the LAN and this database, "GS", resides on it. Is the problem with the value I am giving in "Server" attribute of the above code? If not what else may I be doing wrong?
Following is the error I am getting while accessing some of the pages on my website.

Not sure why it works if i connect to SQL 2005 on another server, but now that i have SQL Express on the same server as the pages, im getting the following error: I have attached my connection string within my web.config and also how its being called within the code behind. Now this page was written by another programmer some time back.. so not sure if the method he used to do this is the best or only way. But i have connected to other SQL database with other applications with alot less code.

I have SQL Server Browser running ander Local account and openned port in my Firewall.
I previously used a datasource and a connection string to connect to my database on sql server and all orked fine. The connection string was saved in my web.config file and is: ....
When I load the asp.net config tool in vs2010 it loads the page up fine but as soon as I click on security I get the following error:-
Code:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may diagnose the problem: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. I have tried a blank project with a login control on but get the same.
I have VS 2010 professional. I am trying to open "ASP.Net Configuration" through Project -> ASP.Net Configuration.
It pops up the Notification about the ASP.Net Development Server localhost but doesn't open ASP.Net Configuration in the default browser.I clicked on the Root Url (by double clicking on the 'development server' at the right bottom from Notification Manager).
It throws following error

Clicking on "How do i use this tool".It opened page with error.
If I just have ADProvider1 it works, when I add ADProvider2, even though for testing I only use ADProvider1 I get an error: "Unable to establish secure connection with the server" Am I adding the second provider to the membership section incorrectly?
A client of mine has an application that is being migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. After the DB migration, the following error is occurring when the application tries to execute a SQL query.
xSomeClassTools: 3/30/2010 9:27:42 AM-ErrorMessage:SSL Security error.- StackTrace: at System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnectionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at xSomeApplication.Tools.xSomeClassTool.writeRecord(String fieldChanged, String newValue, String dn) in c:inetpubwwwrootxSomeApplicationcomponentsxSomeClassTool.cs:line XXX
Beyond the account used by the application, I don't have access to the SQL server. According to the DBA's they have a default installation of SQL 2005, with the database migrated from SQL 2000. Has anyone seen this error before and know how to resolve it?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, and my database is SQL Server 2000.
I want to add a connection to the Server Explorer in VS. The Data source is Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient). After entering in all my information and I click Test Connection, it is successful.
But when I click OK, I get the error:
Unable to add data connection. ExecuteScalar requires an open and available connection. The connection's current state is closed.
I am building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
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 created an ASP.NET Website that requires user authentication. I am using VS 2010 Pro and SQL Server 2008R2 Express. On my local machine I established login capability using ASP.NET Configuration, which works fine. When running the website on my local server instance, I can login just fine. The site now has a folder titled App_Data containing the ASPNETDB.MDF data file. My Hosting site requires me to make a backup of the local database (*.bak), upload the .bak file to their site, then run a database restor
when i am trying to test my webpage i get this message : " Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. " idon`t know what to do with because it`s my first webapp
I am facing a strange problem .can't figure this out.my web site's all pages are running fine except home page.i got 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: Named Pipes Provider,error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Not sure what's going on with this procedure, im kind of new at dynamic DB programming. As of right now if i click a button that triggers the execution of this stored procedure the page says the connection has been timed out..despite other stored procedures working flawlessly.
I have an application with a few dbml files to connect to several sql servers in order to import data from one to another using Linq to SQL.
There are 2 connection strings with integrated security and in one I provide user ID and password.
It all works great in the development workstation. I've then wrapped the dll project and deployed the asp.net application to a test server. Then, when I tried to run the application to import the data, I got a connection exception:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I figured out after some debugging the problem is with the DataContext whose connection string is the one I provide user ID and password. Now, the funny part is that the same connection string works if I create a udl file and test it. And again the same connection string works with my development workstation.
I have an asp.net web page which works with a database. When I first upload it I never disposed the connections so after using the different modules of the application for sometime it would suddenly stop working saying the connection pool filled or something like that.To fix it when a user clicked a button I opened the connection, tell the database what I needed and finally disposed the connection.
This seemed to fix everything, in fact you can work with application all you want, the problem comes if you stop using it for certain time.So for instance, I have a module in my webpage where user can capture information for a certain product. When the user clicks in one button the info gets into the database. If the user is continuosly capturing data everything works fine, but if it goes for about 10 min when he clicks the button he will receive an error. To fix this the user has to log-in again.
Every module opens a connection to the database to verify the user identity, but then after it verifies it I dispose the connection so I don't think there is a problem.
