Hi there
I'm trying to install on a Plesk server with SQLExpress 2005 and IIS 6 with ASP 3.5 installed. I'm getting the following error:
------
Probing system...
File system permissions ok.
The system cannot connect to the MSSQL database. Please check your connection string.
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection owningObject) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at mojoPortal.Data.DBPortal.DatabaseHelperGetConnectionError(String overrideConnectionInfo)

Here's my Connection String:
<add key="MSSQLConnectionString" value="server=xxxxxx\SQLEXPRESS;UID=xxxxxx;PWD=xxxxx;database=xxxxxx;"/>
I've tried every possible combination on the connection string and the result is always the same. I have other mssql dbs running OK.
SQLBrowser service is also on.
I really need help. What am I doing wrong?
thanks
