Hello,
For my organization, I have developed database web application (ASP.net C#) where the backend database is SQL server.
I recently got ownership of Web server in my organization where I am going to host the application on intranet.
Before deploying the actual application on web server, I thought I have to create test application with SQL database for testing.
I have deployed the test application on web server. but when I am trying to access the application getting error when trying to access page where the gridview with SQL server table is added.
Details of error is as follow.
Is I am missing something?
Need you expertise to guide on this error.

Exception due to your web application is not able to connect SQLSERVER instance. Following are options to resolve the problem:

1. Check if your service is running up

Go to All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2012 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services
Check to make sure SQL Server service status is Running.

or

Open run command console(Windows + R) then type services.msc. You will all services in your system and check SqlServer (Sqlexpress) service is running mode.

2. Make sure your database engine is configured to accept remote connections

Start > All Programs > SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Click on Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections
Select the instance that is having a problem > Database Engine > Remote Connections
Enable local and remote connections
Restart instance using services.msc in run command window(discussed in #1)

3. Enable TCP/IP in SQL Server Configuration

Go to All Programs >> Microsoft SQL Server 2012 > Configuration Tools >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> Select TCP/IP

Right Click on TCP/IP >> Click on Enable

Then restart the sqlserver service using services.msc in run command window(discussed in #1)

Lastly you need to check that it might be server firewall setting because sometimes firewall blocks incoming request from other servers. And also check you are providing correct connection string means username, password, server etc..

Hi,
Thank you for reply.
just to clarify that, I am having only Database access of SQL server in my organization. SQL server administrator created database for my application on SQL server.
Since I can only able to connect SQL server from Visual Studio

You should able to connect SQLServer from where the web application is hosted. Means try to access the sql server from your webserver. Just follow the answer. Ask your admin everything is fine from SQLServer side.

Hi Again
I have just test the connection to SQL server from web server and the error message popup is "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." where as I have tried to connect with SQL server from my local system and the connection is succeeded.
Now I am not sure why the connection is failed from Web Server?

Did you go through answer to check where your problem is? Just check with all options where you are missed.
Member 12256084 17-Feb-16 4:49am    
FYI, SQL server is installed on different machine and I don't have access of it, I am having only ownership of Web server.
run this update:
asp_net_regiis.exe
