Installation failing at DB login

Hello,

I am new to SQL Server/IIS, so apologies if I have missed something obvious. I have downloaded BugNet, installed it into IIS, and installed an SQL Server Express instance to run it against.
I have configured the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration to support Named Pipes & TCP/IP & restarted the server.

Running the BugNet installation works well up until the Database login page when I get the following 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)

I have tried combinations of Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication, but no joy.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

David

Re: Installation failing at DB login

My bad obviously. I had specified the name incorrectly - I assumed the (local) default would resolve to the local machine, but as soon as I specified localhost\SQLEXPRESS then it started working.

I also needed to set up permissions correctly in the database for the specified user. As a new user, that was complicated.

Cheers,
David
