C# - SQL Server Error 26 (Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Only When Debugging
Apr 19, 2010
I have a simple asp .net web project I'm working on, and while normally everything is going fine, if I try to debug the site, I get "SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified". I'm not sure if its a weird code issue or a weird SQL Server Issue, but here are the system specs anyway.
My dev machine is Windows 7 32-bit, and a Windows Server 2008 VM (on the same Windows 7 Machine) runs both IIS and SQL Server 2008 Express.
I haven't had any other problems with the connection string I'm using, and I'm using the simple SA account.

I am trying to deploy my .NET webservice on to provider (somee.com). I published the webservice and copied the folder over to the hosting site. I have my App_data folder copied too. I can access the service webpage. But when trying to access the website I received the following error. I have sqlserver express on my local machine.

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:

(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
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:
<add
name="ApplicationServices"
connectionString="data [code].....
For info the environments are set up as follows:
- Dev environment is vwd express 2010 with sqlite mdf attached
- Test environment is windows 7 server, iis 7 with appdomain identity set to network service

I just installed sql server 2005 to my pc and when i try to log in to the server instance i get an error log in failed for user xxx (error 18456).I browse to the server instance and i keep getting the same error even though i chose windows authentication option during the installation.
I restarted the service for the sql server instance (which is running).The only problem i can think about is a problem with permissions but again there should not be any problem there because i logged in as administrator

I am REALLY stuck with this and need a solution in the next 24 hours .i I have uploaded my asp.net web application to the web and have the database and connection strings functioning and reading the data from the database. But when I try to write to the DB
I get the following error :
Server Error in '/' Application.
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)
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: 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)
The wierd thing about this is the connection strings work from the local machine when I run from Visual Studio and I can write to the DB there, I just cannot write to the DB from the URL.
I am pretty new to asp.net but I am sure it has to be something to do with the web.config.

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:
<add name="cn"
connectionString="server=HCL;DataBase=GS;Integrated Security=True" />
"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?

I am using Sql Server 2008 to connect to a Remote Server. Everything was working fine for the last couple of months, and i was successfully connecting to the remote server. Today it suddenly stopped connecting to the remote server. note that i did not alter any configuration settings. Did my isp block Sql Server. My ISP is using ISA SERVER? The error details are:

I get error message "Unable to start debugging on the web server" in Visual Studio 2010. I clicked the button and followed the related suggestions without success.
This happens with a newly created local ASP.Net project when modified to use IIS instead of Cassini (which works for debugging). It prompts to set debug="true" in the web.config and then immediately pops up the error. Nothing shows up in the Event Viewer.
I am able to attach to w3wp to debug. It works but is not as convenient as F5.
I also have a similar problem with VS2008 on the same PC. Debugging used to work for both.
I have re-registered Framework 4 (aspnet_regiis -i). I ran the VS2010 repair (this is the RTM version). I am running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 box.
I do have Resharper V5 installed.

I've got two sites hosted on a win2008R2 box that I just moved to .net 4 from 3.5. One worked well, but the other is showing a 500-internal server error on the server. It builds fine in VS, and runs fine in Cassini.I've changed the app pool to .net 4 and copied the new web config into the site, but I still get an error. I did this about a month ago with another site and everything worked fine.I can't use my own error logging code because my app doesn't even get started, and IIS doesn't seem to leave anything in the application event log. Apologies in advance for a dumb question, but where can I get some more detail on this error?500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

I just started getting the error message "Unable to Connect to the ASP.net Development Server" when debugging a website with VWD 2008 (everything was fine in the past). My system is Windows Vista with Windows Live OneCare firewall. I have reviewed other postings related to this problem, and they indicate firewall setting problems - settings not allowing VWD internet access. However, my settings on the "Windows Live OneCare Firewall Advanced Settings" tab specifically allow VWD.

I'm trying to debug an ASP.NET webapp that's configured to "Use Local IIS Web Server" on WinXP. When I start the debugger, the compile succeeds, and then the following error is displayed in a dialog:
Unable to start debugging on the web server. The COM+ registry database detected a system error
The webapp never launches in my browser. How can I get rid of this message and debug this webapp?

I'm trying to publish an ASP.NET website over an IIS 6.0 (Windows 2003 Server), and I have some troubles trying to connect to the database. Curiously, I have installed another ASP.NET website into the same IIS 6.0 with the same properties and security parameters and can connect without problems with the same database. The application that works fine is almost the same that the one that can't connect with SQL Server (actually is the same but with several modifications).I'll enumarate some information related to the problem:
S.O: Windows 2003 Server
SQL Server Engine: SQL Server 2008 SQL Server accept remote connections? Yes.
ASP.NET version: 2.0.50727
The connections via TCP/IP are enabled to the SQL Server instance? Yes.
The corresponding user that I have in the connection string, actually exists into the database with the "owner" role? Yes.
ORM Tool used: nHibernate
I get the following error when I try to run the aplication into the browser:
Error while establishing a connection
to the server. When connecting to SQL
Server 2005, this failure may occur
because the default settings SQL
Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Shared Memory
Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
I made some test. For example, using the web app that works fine I can connect without any problema with the database that uses the web app that can't. With this evidence I concluded that the problem is within the web app and not into the SQL Server instance.

I recently did an OS reinstall and tried to use my previously-working projects. I found that there was trouble connecting to the database for my aspnetdb.mdf. I have also tried a new project and adding a database to the project but I get the error 'a network related or instance specific...' error. I have tried reinstalling sql server 2005 express but still no luck. When I fire up sql server management studio i see the server name is the same as my computer name. I remember before the os reinstall that the server name was 'sqlexpress'.Anybody got any ideas as to how I can create databases inside of visual web developer again?
