Hi all,
I hope I'm not duplicating a question; I tried to search but could not find
a solution to my problem so I'm posting it here.
I am installing Umbraco 4.0.1 on my Windows Server however keep getting a
database error that I cannot seem to resolve. I followed the Vista
install guide to get me 95% of the way there with R2 and SQL 2008 however when
I go to my site to finish the install process by running the Umbraco web
Install I get this error: "Database connection initialization
failed. The installer cannot connect to the database." Now the
database is there and the info I am inputting into the fields is correct as far
as I can tell. On the IIS 7 side, I do see an error pop up every time I run
the web installer, the error ID is 5011 and refers to a .NET runtime
error. Now I have updated the web.config file to the .NET 3.5 instance that I
found on Umbraco's website so I can't see why I would get a runtime error
within .NET unless there is something I'm missing or something else is going
on. I'm just stuck now! =(
I'm not sure what more info you might need however if anyone can help I will
gladly provide anything you need.

Hi,
we need a few additional things to get to the problem I think.
Do you have SQL-server installed on the same machine? If so, is it installed as default instance or is it a named instance?
What is the servername you fill in in the wizard?
HTH,
Peter
SQL Server is installed on the same machine and should be the default instance.
the server name I filled in was (san quotes): ".\MSSQLSERVER"
Thanks,
Jason
If it is the default instance, try using "localhost" or "(LOCAL)" (san quotes as well)
The format you used is mostly for named instances.
HTH,
Peter
Peter, you ROCK! that was it!! =) Ahh life can go on now. Thanks!
is working on a reply...
