    sql server connection problems

    Hey all.

    umbraco 4.52, Win2008 Server, SQL Server 2008

    I have moved an umbraco files and data from one machine to another (a localhost-only development setup) However, everything is hosted locally; files and data.

    In MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio, I created the database, restored the data, and assigned it a user, "client-umbraco" using these instructions: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008 I can access the database just fine via SQL Server Mgmt Studio using the "client-umbraco" logon, confirming my user/password credentials.

    However, I get a connection error when I try to access my site, using WebMatrix. Neither the WM client nor umbraco access the db. I get the "Login failed for user "client-umbraco"

    In my event viewer, I get this message "Could not find a login matching the name provided" but no state information returned.

    What am I missing?

    Help!

    Hi Kyle,

    Did you run the SQL Server Configuration Manager yet? I'm wondering whether you need to enable TCP/IP so that remote connections can be made.

    Lesley; thanks for the response. I've learned that the server specification may be a path, and I had fully formed the path consistently between SQL Studio Mgmt and umbraco. Once I did, I was golden. Thanks again!

    I'm awarding Lesley with the "solution" (thanks for the suggestion!) but actually, I figured it out.

    For those incumbered with a lack of ms sql familiarity (hello!), it's was the difference between:

    1. machine-name
    2. machine-name\sqlexpress (this also works: .\sqlexpress )

    When connecting via the sql 2008 r2 studio manager 

    I was acessing the first, but the db was at the second path.
