I try to set up a datasource to SQL server 2008 Express.
And I get always that message :
The requested instance is either invalid or not running.
I spent a full day looking at all forums threads, I have learn a lot,
Looking through all Google return on that subject, but it still not working.
I ask for help to solve this situation.
Here is my situation :
- Windows server 2008 R2 - CF9.0 - SQL server Express 2008
- Working through TSE (terminal server)
- on SQL server , I can acces the management studio, connect, create DB, anything
- I can Stop/Restart the SQL server service throuh the SQLconfig manager
- I have enable TCP/IP in SQLserver for 2 IPs : 127.0.0.1 and the server externel IP on which I connect through TSE, both on port 1433
- SQL server Express 2008 is installed on Hard Disk D: (not on C:) (C is small for diskspace)
- The SQL server Instance showed in SQL management Studio is : LARDE\SQLEXPRESS
- Authentification in SQL server : SQL server and Windows
- the CF datasource is declared as follow :
Driver : Microsoft SQL server
datasource name : any
database : the accesible SQL database name where i created a new table
server : LARDE\SQLEXPRESS port : 1433
no login
And I get this error in CF admin datasource : The requested instance is either invalid or not running
- I tried also with a new connection on SQLserver (username/password),
add it in the datasource declaration (user login)
same error.
It seems to me that it is a question of Coldfusion access to that instance of SQLserver
I have the same config at home on local, all is working fine. (difference is TSE)
Thanks for any idea, help.
