complete Crystal Reports noob here.
I am having trouble runing a Crystal report since I changed database servers. essentially I set up the exact opy of our database including users and passwords with only the IP changing. When I change the IP in the report connection I get the following:
Logon failed. Details: ADO Error Code: 0x Source: Microsoft OLE DB
Provider for SQL Server Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen
(Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. SQL State:
08001 Native Error: Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\temp_b87d4210-
ce32-4059-8257-c0441088d08a {815D8B1D-1C68-4B65-9CEE-936A1ACFA47B}.rpt:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
I have already opened and checked the firewall on the SQL server to make sure it is open and have used a rule we use for other websites to connect. I have also checked the firewall log for any rejections but this is completely empty.
I have checked the SQL server is running for both named pipes and TCP/IP (and default port).
Has anyopne any ideas why this connection is not working?
Thanks for you time. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have inherited another SQL database (Version 15.0.4083.2) and have noted some problems with the SQL Agent. Specifically the Agent is not logging any jobs (as I just discovered trying to check logs to debug an issue). I am seeing the following errors in the agent logs:
[298] SQLServer Error: 53, Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. [SQLSTATE 08001]
[165] ODBC Error: 0, Login timeout expired [SQLSTATE HYT00]
[298] SQLServer Error: 53, A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online. [SQLSTATE 08001]
[382] Logon to server 'NotMyClient' failed (ConnLogJobHistory)
(Server name substituted)
This is saying to me that the agent is trying to attach to an incorrect servername/instance. I have then checked the agent properties, i.e. right click on agent, and under Connection it also lists 'NotMyClient'
However when I click on View connection properties the correct IP and computer name.
I have looked at several options for correcting this, but the majoity of answers seem to basically consist of wiping the database, not an option in this case. Also seen a suggestion that the instance name is incorrect, but can see no way of changing the instance name on the server agent.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to create a linked server to Informix from SSMS. I can't find anything online that is helping me resolve the problem. I have downloaded the Informix Driver, have successful connectivity with the System DSN, successfully tested pulling data use SquirrelSQL and ConnectTestDemo, but when I go to create the Linked Server from SSMS I receive the following error:
"Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider Ifxoledbc
for linked server 'myServerName'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 7303)"
In the Provider properties I have checked Allow Inprocess for Ifxoledbc. I have also disabled the Firewall to rule out any port blocking.
I'm banging my head against the keyboard and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I developed a school DBMS using ASP.NET and SQL Server, and I tried to transfer to another system then I installed SQL Server 2014. After going on my through my default page inserting my user and pass all that will display is :
Unable to establish connection to database.
Error information:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Other possible cause of this problem:
The database cannot be opened, most likely due to incorrect connection settings or insufficient security set on your database folder or file.
Can you please let know what would be issue.
Had this before, follow this guide
TLDR: Change the provider to SQLOLEDB.1

I tried to login to a remote server and I saw the error given at the link -
http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=2
Message says -
Message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server, 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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Which is followed by -
Explanation
SQL Server did not respond to the client request because the server is probably not started.
Arent the message and explanation contradicting each other ? Which one is the correct reason for the problem ? How do i find out the REAL source of the problem ?
They don't contradict each other. They just give different possible reasons:
SQL Server doesn't allow remote connections
SQL Server is not started
To fix it, make sure that SQL Server allows remote connections and is started.
Allowing remote connections can be done in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager":
Start that program on the server on which SQL server is installed.
Navigate to "SQL Server Network Configuration" -> "Protocols for "
Double click on the connection type - e.g. Named Pipes - and set "Enabled" to "Yes".
If you are enabling TCP/IP, make sure to also enable each individual IP address on the second tab.
See this blog post for more info.
Thee program you are using is unable to find SQL server on the port/address it expects to.
This is likely either because it is misconfigured, or because SQL server is stopped.
I suggest you open a desktop login to the machine in question, and see if SQL server is running.
There are other potential causes for this problem, as well: network problems, for example.
I am using Windows-server-2008 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
And there are a lot of questions about this, but nothing on the internet solved it.
The problem is that i can't connect to the my SQL Server 2008 R2 after rebooting my server.
I placed some new memory in my server, and after rebooting my client/server application didn't work anymore because it cannot reach the database.
So i tried to get in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and tried to loggin with Administrator and another user but both do not work.
When i logg in the following message is displayed:
Cannot connect to (local)
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)
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
I Tried a lot of different things like:
Rebooting server
Try to start the server manually from Sql Server Configuration Manager
Named Pipes - Enabled
TCP/IP - Enabled
Tried to create an new system user or database user as described in the following article: Click Here
Can somebody please help me? I am really confused because i need to get this online. Otherwise i have to reinstall the database server but i do not have a back-up. (is there some folder with a back-up of the settings/tables/columns are stored and can be imported from reinstall?
I was having the exact same problem. net start mssqlserver was giving me the blurb about a failed login attempt. The problem was that I had recently changed the password for the administrator account, and the new password didn't get updated in services.
Here's how I fixed it:
First locate SQL Server from the list here:
Right click and select properties, and navigate to the Log On tab:
Then I typed the new password, and like magic I was able to start SQL Server right through the services manager.
I also did this for any other processes which were marked as "stopped" even though Startup Type was marked as "automatic" (namely, SQL Server Agent).
Is it a named instance or default? Also, is this a local instance? (I see the "(local)" but just wanted to make sure.)
Start the sql server services from services.msc and try to connect
