Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
Looks your connection string is incorrect or the server is not accessible.
First and foremost make sure that the SQL Server services are running. Other reasons could be, incorrect connection string or some Firewall blockage.

Here, have a look at this blog post to troubleshoot the issue : MSDN Blogs: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified[^]

If needed, look at these one:
Exception - error 26 - Error Locating Server Instance Specified[^]
provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance...[^]
"Specified SQL server not found" o..[^]
