Installing SSRS 2012 - sql

"Install and configure" radio button is disabled for me when installing Reportin Services. Can anybody explain why?
P.S. Using SQL Server 2012, Standard Edition.

The behaviour is explained in Reporting Services Configuration Options (SSRS), though it's really impossible to tell what the specific issue is in your case.
From the article:
Install and configure Installs a report server instance in Native Mode
using the default values for the report server databases, service
account, and URL reservations. When you choose this option, the report
server instance is ready to use when Setup is finished. Setup creates
the report server database using a local Database Engine instance, and
configures a report server to use default values.
This option is available only if the default values used in a report
server installation are valid for your system. This option is
recommended for developers who want to install all components locally,
and for users who are evaluating the software.
(Emphasis added)
So there is something in your environment that is preventing this option. To investigate, the article suggests:
To view information about the default Settings that Setup uses, or to
find out why the default configuration cannot be installed, click
Details.
It also suggests looking at What is the Default Configuration to help get more details.
You will need to review all this information in your own environment to get your specific issue.

Mysql workbench - create user with standard password

I have updated mysql workbench to 8.0.12,
And I have a big issue with the user management.
Some application do not support SHA2 authentication and I struggle finding a way to use standard one.
In previous version I could easily create user with different type of authentication (standard / caching_sha2_password).
Some advises will be really appreciated.
Downgrade to previous version would be last option.
[edit]
when creating the user I can select standard mode. But as soon I apply the creation, it automatically switch to caching_sha2_password
[/edit]
Thanks
You need to change the default_authentication_method of the server. You can either manually edit the config file and add the following:
default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
Or you can update the options file through MySQL Workbench by going to Server > Options File >
You will then need to restart the server and recreate your user with the required authentication plugin.
You can read more here.

Cannot Create Default Instance in SSMS 2016

I am trying to create a default instance of SSMS to run through a few quick tutorials on my local machine. However, everything I am reading is telling me that this default instance should have been created during the wizard. Welp, I have now installed and uninstalled SSMS 2016 three times and am yet to be prompted by anything other than a simple request to install and a notification that the request is complete.
I have read online that I should use the SQL Server Management 2016 Application to create this instance, but every time I try to open that application I get this wonderful error "Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable".
I have tried running the command referenced in this article to fix the error:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/956013
But had no luck.
I've also tried to attempt to connect to what might be the default value for the instance:
-localhost
-myip
-(local)
etc..
But when I ran osql -L earlier, it showed no SQL databases on my machine and since my most recent install this command isn't even working.
You dont create instances with SSMS. SQL Server Management Studio is to query and manage existing instances.
You use the Installation media to create an instance.
Look for the Configuration manager to see what instances you have installed.
The default instance is always called MSSQLSERVER.
According to the article you linked to, you probably jacked the installation between the 32 and 64 bit versions of SQL Server.
I suggest to use the setup program and reinstall it.

Unable to Publish SQL Server 2014 database using Web Deploy in VS 2013

Its been quite sometime that I am trying to publish the data base for my website using webdeploy in VS 2013 but I keep getting the following error:
Web deployment task failed. (Could not generate deployment script.
Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql120DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
I have tried installing the new updates. I am making sure that the local server is running during deployment. I have made sure that I enter the full server name rather than a dot. I have literally done everything that I could think of but to no avail.
Can anyone help me, please?
The issue might be related to VisualStudioVersion environment variable, which needs to be set to VisualStudioVersion=11.0 or VisualStudioVersion=12.0 to support SQL Server 2014. Check this answer, also here is the info how to target the VisualStudioVersion.

Please help me in solving this problem

Install the latest service pack, this should fix the configuration manager issue, which will allow you to properly configure filestream.
According to the documentation, you need to enable it from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
EDIT: You didn't mention that you had already followed the documentation, nor that you can't see any services in the SSCM. According to various Google hits such as this MS forum discussion, limited permissions on the NETWORK SERVICE account could cause this problem.

Installing SQL Server Express 2005 - but it already exists on the machine

I built an application for a client that requires SQL Server 2005 Express. Everything worked fine on all the machines except for one. On this one they already had an application that uses SQL Server Express, so it was already installed on the machine, but nobody knows which application uses it or any usernames/passwords.
Can I simply install another copy into a different folder? This just doesn't seem right to me, and I know this has to be a common scenario. Can someone point me in the right direction on how I should proceed?
Thanks!

Yes you can just install into a different directory, as a new "named instance" of SQL Server Express.
To install, follow Step 8 on Microsoft's Install How-To:
On the Instance Name page, select a Default instance or a Named instance for your installation. If you select Default instance, an existing default instance will be upgraded. If you select Named Instance, specify an instance name
So what you need to do is specify the Named Instance and specify your own instance name, and connect to it using the URL format as above.
As the Microsoft How-To mentions, the default installation is a named instance as well, with the name "SQLExpress", which is why if you want to stop or start the service with net start or `net stop' you need to write something like:
net start mssql$sqlexpress
and the hostname part of the connection string for a default SQL named instance is:
.\SQLEXPRESS (or localhost\SQLEXPRESS)
You should be able to log into it using Integrated Windows Authentication using an administrator type account on the PC, and use that to reset passwords on any SQL server type logins.
Failing that, yes, you should be able install a "named instance". You connect to it by supplying "hostname\instancename" as the server name.
In all likelihood, the culprit is Outlook's Contact Manager.
You should just uninstall the "feature". If you can't, you can create an additional instance of SQL Express, which you can access as COMPUTERNAME\INSTANCENAME.
