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.
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!
What was the solution?
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 :)
