Have I got the connection string wrong or do I need to set up additional permissions in the database?
I'm trying to practice with the website starter kits using Visual Studio 2005. But so far, I haven't been able to run the mentioned websites because the connection they use is against SQL Server Express...
I don't have SQL Server Express. Instead, what I have installed is SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
I'm not even able to use the new APS.NET WeSAT application to administer the sites because allway get the "Time out" error.
Do any of you know how to resolve this whole situation?

People,I'm trying to publish my first website and am having a few problems.I've got Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and am trying to use the Personal Website Starter Kit. (my SQL server is SQL Server Express Edition 2005 - which is also running on my local machine)It seems to work fine when I run it on my localhost, as soon as I ftp it up to my web hosting company, I get an error message (see below) :-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) My hypothesis is :-It would appear to me that when running locally, the starter kit website uses my installation of SQL 2005 Express Edition, but when I upload all the files, I'm guessing the application is still trying to point at a local instance of SQL on my local PC which it now cannot see. I'm guessing I need to somehow upload the SQL database onto my web host (I've purchased 100M of SQL Server 2005 space), and point the application at that SQL instance instead. But I don't know if I'm right about all this, or indeed how to do it if I am. Can anyone help?Much thanks in advance,Will
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1

Hi All, I have a problem with the Club Starter kit that I downloaded from the SQL Server Express Site. I installed the VSI into VS2005 but when I try to save the project, VS puts up a dialog with "Unable to complete Operation." The project runs OK within VS but any changes I make are lost when the app closes because it won't save.
I know this does not appear to be a SQL Server Express problem but I'm wondering if anyone else has used the starter kit and experienced the same problem, and more importantly, how to fix it.
I am unable to create the personal.mdf when I run my homepage. I get the following error 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 am new at this stuff and any help will be welcomee. . thanks Seth
I am trying to get Classifieds Starter Kit work in SQL Server 2005. I did following:

Select "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration | Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" then enable the protocols 'TCP/IP' and possibly 'Named Pipes' 4. My connections string <add name="classifiedsConnection" connectionString="Data Source=MyServerName;;User ID=user;Password=pass;Initial Catalog=ClassAds" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
I still get the following error when I debug the 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)

When I registered SQL Server Express I received an e-mail back showing all of the resources available to get started. There were 6 Starter Kits available, Teacher, Colection Manager, Amazon Enabled Movie Collection, and three others. When I click on the links to download the Starter Kits, the link comes back as invalid. Can you provide the correct links to use to get the Starter Applications, or can you e-mail me code? Thanks for you attention to this matter. Charlie Cappello CIGNA

Does anyone know about a product called "Personal SQL Server" or similar, which would provide your the services of SQL Server, but running on W95, 98 or NT? Is it included in Backoffice Server? Where can I get it? Is it there a demo available?
I am currently runing SQL Server 200 (personal edition) and I need to upgrade to SQL SVR Standard Edtion. Do I need to uninstall the personal edition first? Or can I install over it?
Rank newbie to ASP.NET here, so I'm totally "at sea" as to finding a "cookbook" for "how to deploy" a slightly customized version of the "Personal Web Site" project. My hosting service has an ASP.NET database installed. I can verify from their "SQL Server Web Admin" package that there are 11 "aspnet_" table names present. I have run the "personal-add.sql" script which has defined two (empty) tables -- "Albums" and "Photos". CONFUSION 1: The hosting service includes a Help fille for "Connecting to a SQL Server Database Using ASP.NET 2.0" which details the way to add 'connectionStrings' for "Personal" and "LocalSqlServer". I have made a "remote" copy of the "web.config" file and supplied the ostensively correct info for my Server, Database, User ID and Password. QUESTION: Why are there TWO names -- "Personal" and "LocalSqlServer"? Since all of the tables are contained now within the ASP.NET database are the details for both of these to be the same? CONFUSION 2: Error handling. I'm getting "An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine." Huh!? That page then goes on to mention "<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>". I've not a clue as to what "mycustompage.htm" should contain in order to field the error[s] erupting. POINTERS, anyone? Have I missed some basic part of the manual[s] someplace? I was sort of hoping that there would be a simple "cookbook" around someplace for how to "deploy" a relatively tested group of pages (application) in a relatively idiot-proof manner. I'm not finding it, so ANY pointers, hints, URLs will be greatly appreciated. Color me "confused in Kauai" ... :) KevInKauai
I just installed SQL 2000 personal edition on a win xp pro box and now when it boots I get a SQL service manager error that says service manager has generated errors and needs to be closed.
Is there anything particular with XP and SQL 2000 i need to know?
I thought this would be a no brainer as it was with Win2k, but no.
I just found that one of the SQL Servers I support shows it is 'SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition'. I've checked and there is a spare SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition' licence in the organisation.
Do I need to re-install SQL Server 2000 with the correct media so that it shows 'Standard Edition' in the SQL Server properties? Or is it ok just to leave Personal Edition on there?
Does anyone have any pointers on where I can find out exactly what we're allowed to do with this product? For example, we sell systems based on Microsoft Small Business Server 2000, which includes SQL Server standard edition. If I want to have, say, a branch system which replicates data to the main SBS system, but run it on XP Pro and use a couple of PCs for workstations, can I use SQL PE, or do I have to use SBS on the branch as well? What about if I have two branches? Or five? Does the fact that we're using SBS make any difference? At the moment, where possible, our branch in that scenario might use the MSDE, but that is limited to a 2Gb database which isn't always useful.
Your thoughts would be most welcome. The Microsoft web site doesn't specifically say what we can and cannot do here, or if it does I haven't found it yet. We're in the UK, if that affects licensing information.
I’m trying to install SQL 2000 personal edition on my XP pro machine, but during installation I get an error _INS5576._MP.exe and the installation stops. I would appreciate any advice the you could offer me.
I get this error message when I try to run my personal web page starter kit (Ctrl + F5) which has come straight out of the box:

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.

The rap from Microsoft is that "SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition is not a separate product but rather a client component of SQL Server 2000 (included as part of the Enterprise and Standard Editions) that is designed to bring SQL Server 2000 functionality to non-server hardware, including workstations and laptops."
I have a copy of SQL2K Standard, but when I try to install it on a workstation it tells me it'll install client tools only. I've searched Microsoft and don't see any downloads for SQL2K PE.
I need the server component on an NT4 Workstation; what's the trick in getting PE installed on an NT4 Workstation?
