    Database connection initialisation failed.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm trying to set up an umbraco 4.7.0 instance on my server and I am getting the error above

    "Database connection initialisation failed."

    Here is my connection string: <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="server=111.65.228.37;database=jordy;user id=jordy;password=password" />

    I am unsure if I need to have the server IP within the string, I have tried .\SQLEXPRESS and that doesn't work, also tried localhost and "." still nothing.

    Thanks!

    Hi, can you connect to SQLManagement Studio with those creditials?  Have you tried (local)?

    So in Management Studio

    servername=(local)

    Sql auth

    UserName = jordy

    Password = password

    If those work you also need to check the jordy can read/write to the database :)

    Hope that helps.  Charlie :)
