Trying to install Sitecore 7.1 on local machine but getting an error while attempting to connect to SQL Server. If I browse for a Database Server nothing comes up in the list. I have SQL Server 2012 installed and several databases that were created from Visual Studio. What am I missing to make the connection?
For some it may be a case of the SQL Server Service has stopped running. To turn it back on:
Open up Sql Server Configuration Manager.
Select SQL Server Services in the tree view on the left
In the Context Window on the right check to see if your SQL server service is turned off.
If it is right click and click start.

I have reset/formatted the system, then I installed Visual Studio 2019 and SQL Server 2019, but I am not able to connection SQL Server. Then I followed this link
https://www.mytecbits.com/microsoft/sql-server/where-is-sql-server-configuration-manager
But in step 3: SQL Server Configuration manager /SQLServerManager15.msc not able find in add or Remove Snap-ins popup window in my system.
What I should do?
In Visual Studio, go to View, Server Explorer, Data Connections. You can see existing connections there.
Or you can create a new connection. If MSSQL is properly installed then you can put in localhost for the server name and connect.
I have been working on SQL server 2014. It was working fine. Today when i was trying to connect to server it is not connecting. It is showing this error.
This probably is the issue because Windows turn off some services to optimize the windows performance, You should Try this:
Search Services in your search bar and open it, Search for SQL Server Services from the list of services, right-click > start and try connecting to your SQL Server again. make sure they are running
start MSSQLSERVER service from SERVICES tab in CONTROL PANEL
provided you are typing right database credentials
Probably you might want to start SQL server using SQL server configuration Manager (you can find it directly from Start menu) or you can go to the path in your C Drive based on SQL server version
See link from Microsoft:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/sql-server-configuration-manager?view=sql-server-2017
I am not able to connect to the database engine. I have recently installed SQL Server 2012 after formatting my hard drive.
Operating system : Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit
When I try to connect to the database engine :
WN7X64-XXXXXXX, I get the following error message
A network-related or instance-specific error occured. Could not open connection to the SQL Server'.
I tried accessing using (localhost). It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/SQLExpress. It did not work.
I tried accessing using (localhost)/MSSQLServer. It did not work.
I tried accessing using MSSQLServer. It did not work.
When I checked the services. SQL Server status is starting, and it does not give me the option to start/stop. SQL Server Agent status is blank, when I start the service it gives
Error 1068 : dependency service or group failed to start.
Name Status Startup Type
SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (MSSQLSERVER) Started Automatic

I sometimes get SQL Server Express stuck in 'starting', in fact, just now, which is why I googled up this page. The solution is to kill the process and restart it.
Simplest way to do that is through Task Manager, which you can start by right clicking the Windows system tray (banner at the bottom of the screen where minised programs go). Processes tab, Sort processes by Name, find all beginning 'SQL...' and stop them.
To restart SQL Server right click the Windows Start button, start Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, scroll to all services starting 'SQL...', right click to refresh, and stop any that are running, then start the 'SQL Server' service, followed by any others that are set to Auto or Manual start.
I had the same issue and MSDN Documentation did not help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/307288.
It was to do with that there was an orphan Sql related service i.e SqlWriter was hanging around. Go to task manager and killed it. Then the error went away.
To connect to a SQL Server default instance (not Express), you can use:
just a . (dot)
just a (local) (be aware: in round brackets)
just a localhost (be aware: NO brackets)
See the official MSDN documentation on Logging In to SQL Server for more details and explanations, and for even more options how to connect.
Try localhost or (local). Not (localhost).
I had the same issue . go to task manager , search for "SQL Server Windows NT" then end the task . after that , go to your services (Run services.msc) and restart your sql server instance .
Solution works for me in MSSQL Server express edition with Windows 10 environment .
I have installed the Sql server 2008 express edition with tools. After Installing sql server 2008 and sql server management studio. When i open the sql management studio it shows a window, Connect to server. Here I got already filled boxes like that:
Server type: Database Engine
Sever name: (local)
Authentication: Windows Authentication
When i click on the Connect button it displays an error message box, and nothing will be created. What can i do. Would someone help me to fix it.
Open run--> CMD
execute this code : NET START MSSQLSERVER for default instance and NET START MSSQL$<INSTANCENAME> for named instance.
I agree with user2196728, you should be able to connect using the SA account specified during installation. At that point you should be able to setup an account using your domain account (windows authentication)
Confirm that this is turned to on (2008R2):
Click on the Start Menu.
Go to the folder Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Click on the folder Configuration Tools
Launch SQL Server Configuration Manager
When that loads, on the far left menu, click on SQL Server Services
You should see at least three items on the right window, probably SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS), and SQL Server Browser. Right click on SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and click Start (if it's highlighted out, that means it's running).
Then try logging into local again using Windows Authentication.
I've installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7. My Windows 7 installation is 64 bit, but I couldn't figure out how to get the 64 bit SQL Server so I have the 32 bit version. I installed all 4 service packs, and restarted my computer.
While SQL Server Management Studio is willing to launch, I do not have the mssqlserver service, or any other service that could be SQL Server.
How do I get the SQL Server service running so I can use SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 machine?
As you can see, I have no services available. I did not get any error messages when I did the install.

Well, I gave up, uninstalled everything, and re-installed it, this time just doing the basic install and then installing SP4. That worked.
I guess the moral of this story is just use teh last service pack available, rather than all of them one at a time.
