Connecting To SQL Server Express From An ASP Application
Aug 31, 2006
I have an ASP application which is currently using a SQL 2000 Database, attaching via SQLOLEDB. I am getting ready to migrate my ASP application to .NET using SQL Server 2005 Express. The only problem, is that I am unable to connect successfully from my ASP applcation to my DB under SQL Express.
I have taken all of the steps that I have read, including the blog by Ming Lu. I still cannot be through.
I have included both the messages that are thrown and comments about the drivers and connection strings.
I have enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes for SQL 2005 EE. I have also included the executable, port 1433, port 135, etc. in the firewall exceptions.
I have defined the DB in ODBC using both the Native Sql driver and the SQL Driver. Connection authentication is via SQL Server Authentication.
If anyone has any input, I would be grateful.
Error Messages:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. - using SQLNCLI - SQL Native Driver
::[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. - using SQLOLEDB - SQL Native Driver
::[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. - using SQLOLEDB - SQL Server Driver

connection string for SQLOLEDB: "PROVIDER='SQLOLDEB';DATA SOURCE='.SQLEXPRESS';User ID='Abilities2005';Password='abilities';Initial Catalog='nbdc2005';"
connectdion string for SQLNCLI: "PROVIDER='SQLNCLI';DATA SOURCE='.SQLEXPRESS';User ID='Abilities2005';Password='abilities';Initial Catalog='nbdc2005';
source name varied from .SQLEXPRESS, localhostSQLEXPRESS and machinenameSQLEXPRESS

I'm trying to connect to a sql express database on my local machine, using the following connection string:
SqlConnection thisConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf");
However, I keep getting an error message saying "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."
Why would my application be trying to connect remotely when the database is on my local machine? And how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

How do I get rid of this error message when tring to log into my web site user account stored on the default ASP.NET 2.o generated database on my local computer?
Server Error in '/FundACure.org' Application.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'LANBOYASPNET'.
Where "LANBOY" is the name of my computer. I am logged in as myself "LANBOYKEVIN" My web page is trying to log into the server using the name "ASPNET" which I assume is a standard ASPNET user name.
I thought it was failing because I needed to grant access to this user in the server, so I added the account for the server. Same problem.
So I thought I needed to create this user in my Windows XP user list. When I tried it said "this user already exists" even though it isn't displayed in the list. That is when I realized that it is a standard user established by ASP.NET. It is probably supplied in the C# code through a base class.
So, how do I get this DB to connect? Is the user missing, or is it that my connection string is wrong?

Hello, Everybody.
Help me please with one problem which I'm facing with while deploying java server application on my computer (this java app is jBilling). I have configured it as it was said in docs, I have added environment variable CLASPATH as Microsoft documentation said. I'm using SQL Server JDBC driver 1.2 by Microsoft. The result is that I find this message in log file:
2007-05-27 17:21:41,906 WARN [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool] Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null
org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Failed to register driver for: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver; - nested throwable: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver))
at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalManagedConnectionFactory.createManagedConnection(LocalManagedConnectionFactory.java:168)
... and so on.
I have copied sqljdbc.jar to lib folder of the server. That's how I specified connection string:
jdbc:microsoftqlserver://localhost:1434;DatabaseName=Billing;integratedSecurity=false;
Can not think out what to do else. Maybe somebody knows what to do about it?
Many thanks

Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.
Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?
Please help a newbie
Thanks

We have a bought in application written in Visual Basic 6 using ADO 2.7 to connect to SQL Server. The application has two connections strings and uses internal logic to determine which of the two connection strings connects to a read-write database. It does something as simple as trying an update that makes no changes to a very small table somewhere.
Previously this application connected to a Mirrored Database hosted on two Windows Server Failover Clusters and SQL Server 2005.For the future the App will be connecting this application to a SQL Server 2014 Availability Group.The Availability Group is made up of four servers, in a cluster, two at one site on Subnet A and the other two at a second site on Subnet B. The Availability Group has been given a Listener with a DNS name of AGLISTEST on port 1433 with two Static IP addresses, one for each subnet.
Our Contractor has configured the Application’s connection strings to connect to the two Static IP addresses assigned to the AG. He is of the opinion that although ADO has zero understanding of an Availability Group, at least one of the Static IP Address will translate to the Availability Group primary server because it is a Cluster Resource and so act like a Cluster IP Address on Windows Server Failover Cluster; i.e. sort of mimicking the previous configuration. This does work and he has demonstrated it, however I can’t find any article that proves to my satisfaction this is intended behavior not something that accidentally works. If it is accidental behavior then that would be something that might stop working at an unexpected point in the future.
All the research I have found relates to connecting to the AG Listener name, and all the multi-subnet issues and Active Directory issues that go with connecting using what is a legacy client.So; the question is, is this translation / redirection of static IP Addresses assigned to an Availability Group listener documented and safe?

Hi all....
I'm not good t adatabases and never had to install one before, but I have an easy question....
I need to install a big application that needs a database server in the back end to run, I have a box with SQL2005 installed on it and I need to let the server be the database server for this application that will be installed on a seperate box....
How would I be able to point this application to the database server? (in general) do I need to install a SQL client on this server and point it to the SQL2005 server in the back?
Do I need to create a "new database" on the SQL sever and give it a name and credentials then point the application to that database? if that is the case, how would I do it?
Thanks.

I have a small networked application, using sql server 2005 express. I am using datalinks and I have configured the TCP/IP to 'Enabled' on the server and I have configured the firewall. I have one computer connecting to the database through sql authentication (using a specific name and password). However I have another machine, using the same configurations, but it has a AMD 64 processor. I get the "Sql Server does not exist or access denied" message.
I would greatly appreciate assistance.

Hi,
Please assist with the following.
How do I connect to SQL Server Express in VS2003? "Do I still use using System.Data.SqlClient;"?
What would the connection string be in the code? The following does not work.
try { string connectionString = "server=localhost;uid=webserver;pwd=wordpass;database=dbMV;"; // create a new SqlConnection object with the appropriate connection string SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connectionString); // open the connection sqlConn.Open(); // do some operations ... // close the connection sqlConn.Close(); } catch(Exception err) { Response.Write(err); }

I'm new to MSSQL. At my work place, I'm using MSSQL and using SQL Query Analyzer to run queries and view all my database tables and structures.
Now, I can work remotely at home for the time being. So, how do I get SQL Query Analyzer and be able to connect remotely to my database at work?
I've downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and it comes with SQL Server Management Studio, which looks similar to SQL Query Analyzer. The problem is though, how would I remotely connect to my database server at work? Is it possible to do this using SQL Server 2005 express?
One thing I was advised to do was configure the TCP/IP Port number from 1433 to 1435. However, I do not see an option to configure that nor do not know how to connect remotely (I do have the IP, User, and Pass).

Hi All,
I'm having trouble getting at SQL Server 2005 Express via ASP code.
I'm using the following connection string in my ASP code:
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn = "Provider = SQLNCLI;" & _
"Data Source = .SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Initial Catalog = myDB;" & _
"User ID = DB_reader;" & _
"Password = a#koddkobn5;"
I keep getting the error:
Microsoft SQL Native Client (0x80004005)
Login failed for user 'DB_reader'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
I have made sure that the user exists in SQLEXPRESS and that server Security is set to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode.
Can anyone think of anything I'm missing or that I should try?
We've lost our SQL Server admin and I'm trying to develop locally using Express while we hunt for a new admin.
Thanks so much for any assistance you have time to offer.
Very best,
Thom Cox

I am having major issues connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express from Visual Basic 2005 Express, which I have tried on multiple PCs but to no avail. Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
1) I install SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Basic 2005 Express (With .NET framework and SQL native client of course)
2) I open SQL Server using Management Studio and going in with windows authentication. It automatically sets the log on name to computernameSQLEXPRESS.
3) I create a new database called Test and add one table to it
4) I go into Visual Basic 2005 and create a new project.
5) I go to the projects application settings (Properties - Settings).
6) I set up a new connection string, choosing SQL server as the conection type and then on the Connection Properties window it asks me to select the mdf file for the database. I choose the file Test.mdf from the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
7) I click on Test Connection.
When I do this on two out of the three home PCs I get the error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf".Operating system error 32: "32 (error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
The third PC gives me a different error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DAVEDavid'.
I get the same errors when I try to use a connection string inside the code directly. Does anyone have a clue as to why these errors are occuring? Do I need to set up security or something else on the database first, or is there another reason? If anyone can please help me get to the bottom of this or provide a web address where I can get the answer (step by step instructions on how to connect) then I would be most grateful.

I can connect to amachine using SQL server 2000 using IIS 6.0. However, I am having trouble connecting to my server that has SQL server express using IIS 6.0. I'm using similar setting for both servers. Is there something else i have to do for SQL server express?
I'm not sure why this is the case. Any information that could help resolve this failed connection would be greatly appreciated.

All,
I'm a newbie here so forgive me if I have missed something completely obvious.
I have bought a shopping cart script of a well known company (Evolve Merchant 5) and I wish to set it up locally on my development server, I created a virtual directory, set the web application up and get the asp pages to display perfectly. However, in the configuration file (global.asa & web.config) for the application it reguests information to be provided: <add key="DBName" value="Database name" />
<add key="DBServer" value="IP address of server" />
<add key="DBUserName" value="User name" />
<add key="DBPassword" value="password" />
<add key="AltPassword" value="password" />
What I can't determine is what the SQL Server 2005's IP address is? the pages of this application show when I type http://localhost/catalogue into IE, so I presumed the server address would be the IP of localhost, when typed ping localhost into command promt it gives me 127.0.0.1, but when I enter this into the config file and try to load the application it just hangs and then eventually says:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied./catalogue/global.asa, line 54"
I have created a new database in SQL Express called: merchant509 and restored the tables to it as the manufactures help files state, I created a new login called shop which uses SQl authentication, so as I can provide a password. So the settings should look like this:
<add key="DBName" value="Database name" />
<add key="DBServer" value="127.0.0.1" />
<add key="DBUserName" value="shop" />
<add key="DBPassword" value="1684" />
<add key="AltPassword" value="1684" />
But it doesn't work, does anyone know what i have done wrong?? the SQL server is runnign on the same computer as I am trying to access it from, it is set to accept all forms of comunication i.e. TCP/IP etc.. in the server configuration manager the IP address part of TCP/IP in protocols shows IP1 as 192.168.2.2 active yes enabled yes, and IP2 as 127.0.0.1 active yes and enables yes, I have tried the 192.168.2.2 and this gives the same errors, this is my registed IP on my home network.
I'm now stumped, I haven't a clue what else I can try, I would be very greatfull if anyone has any ideas.
Regards,
Daniel Coates

Alright I glanced over the forums to see if there was an answer for this and I didn't see one. I saw a few similar issues however nothing that fixes my issue. Here is my problem.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express on my Vista partition along with Visual C# Express. For some reason I cannot get the SQL Server 2005 Express to function correctly. Back when installed this on XP it worked flawlessly, and I don't even recall doing anything special...I installed it and it worked. I do know that you have to manually add the user account to the admin list for the SQL server on Vista, and I did that. I chose the option to have it do it during installation as well as through the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration just to be sure.
I am just trying to get the basics of it working right, and that is connecting to the server using C# and filling a dataset...it shouldn't be this hard. This morning when I started with this I could connect and fill my DataSet programmatically however it wouldn't pass the test through the Data Source Configuration Wizard. When I did it manually, as I said it worked and filled the DataSet with the info I asked for below in the code sample. After getting annoyed by it not working through the wizard I decided that maybe I had my permissions wrong and I may have messed up when installing it. So I uninstalled everything to do with SQL Server 2005 and reinstalled it fresh.
This time when I installed it I made sure to set it up to use Windows Authentication. Now it will pass the Test in the Data Source Configuration Wizard and everything is working by doing it that way. However now it doesn't work when I do it manually with the code below(same code as before when it worked...lol). When I use the code below it crashes with the 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)". When I go through it with the debugger it throws that error at the call dataAdapter.Fill(...). The code is the following:
Code Snippet
string connStr = "server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=northwind";
string commandStr = "Select CompanyName, ContactName from Customers";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(commandStr, connStr);
DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet, "Customers");
DataTable dataTable = dataSet.Tables[0];
foreach(DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows)
lbCustomers.Items.Add(dataRow["CompanyName"]+
" ("+dataRow["ContactName"]+")");
Why doesn't that work yet I can basically ask for the same information and it will work if I do it through the wizard? If it works 1 way I wouldn't think there could be any issues with the server being accessed remotely, right?
Thanks

I've been trying to configure remote connections to my sql server express to no avail.
First here are some constants to clear some things up:
- OS: Windows XP Pro
- SQL Express version: April CTP release
- Windows Firewall: disabled (to avoid any problems there)
- Network type: two computers connected a router.
- Router firewall: Enabled (I may be wrong but the router firewall only blocks external traffic, so I left it on.)
First, I configured my SQL server to allow remote connections in the SQL Surface Area Configuration. (Set it to both TCP/IP and named pipes)
Second, I enabled and configured sql server browser.
Third, I enabled TCP/IP and named pipes in the 'Protocols for SQL Express' option of the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
I have done everything I need to (including edit the registry to enable the SQL Server Browser service) and the error I continue to get 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)"
So I tinkered and had no success in messing with anything that would fix it. Although, ***when I browsed for network servers on different machine, the server instance DID show up in the list***. So I find it odd that it can find the instance when browsing, but fails to 'find' it when making a connection.
So I didn't stop there, I decided to try the non-sql server browser method of remotely connecting: specifying the IP.
I went back to the blog of instructions referenced above and re-did the steps, this time specifying a TCP Port for the server instance and then after specifying the port on the remote computer connection string, and attempting to connect, 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)"
I've done all I know how, read all the possible blogs I can, and nothing's come up. If anyone can shed some light on me, I'd pay you 1 billion pretend dollars. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have been trying literally for months to get SQL Server 2005 Express to work on my Dell Dimension WinXPPro machine. I have installed and reinstalled both the server and the 'Management System'. I have shut down and restarted all of the related Local Component Services on my machine (with the exception of the SQL Server Active Directory Helper which will not start ??).
I have reviewed much of what is in this Forum related to SQL Server 2005 Express and I find that many have had similar problems. When a connection is attempted, the following message or some minor variation appears:
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)
In desparation, and at the suggestion of one of this forum's moderators, I went to try to download the SQL Server 2005 Express, Service Pack 2. I threaded my way through what I felt was an unecessarily complex set of links and finally reached a download site - but it was unclear whether or not the service pack was for SQL Server 2005 or the Express version. Giving up in dispair, it turn to you (once again BTW, I received no real help with this same question about a month ago).
Even though I seriously doubt if anyone will help me, I am willing to give it another try - mainly because I am home sick with the flu and having nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 sp1
When I created a linked Server to the DB2 on iseries ( V4R5) , the SELECT statement fetches me only the first record and the following message appears.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST" returned message "[IBM][Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32-bit)]Driver not capable.".
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "DB2TEST".
I am using 'MSDASQL' which refers to the DSN setup on my machine using the ODBC "Client Access Driver 32-bit"
Strangely when I used the same DSN in SQL 2000 within the DTS package, I was able to connect and import data and worked like a charm.
Can anyone advice me were I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am having problems with connecting to a SQL Express server running on server 2003. I can connect with the program concerned from a windows xp client without problems. I cannot however connect from a vista machine using the software. In the logs i see the client trying to logon, wich fails with Login failed for user: 'user'. [client: clientIP] severity 14 state 8. On the vista client i have tried everything from disabling the firewall, windows defender, running the app as admin etc. I can connect using sqlcmd or the management tools with the username the app is using. This is a SQL user, we are not using windows users to connect to the DB.I also ran a app like ethereal to see what is happening packet wise, i see the login failed packet on a windows client, from a XP client everything seems fine and it starts using RPC.
Any help appreciated,
FVader
