    Could not connect to database umbraco customize install

    hi guys i'm newbie in umbraco and at the beginning i have an issue. I try to set my ms sql server databae in custom configure during installation, but after fill every text box and click continue only get message: "Could not connect to database".

    I was created my database in my umbraco project in folder App_Data. I was also add to the DB credential with this querry:

        CREATE CREDENTIAL AlterEgo WITH IDENTITY = 'myUserName',   
    SECRET = '<MyPassword>';  
    GO

    To find my server name i use querry:

    SELECT @@SERVERNAME

    and as a database name i wrote mydatabaseFileName.mdf.

    Could you help me to solve this issue ?

    Hi glukos,

    If I understand it you manually created a mdf file? You do not have to do this. If you select SQL CE during installation in the customize step then Umbraco will automatically create a mdf file for you.

    If you select Microsoft SQL Server during install; then you can use SQL Management Server to create a new database and then you need to fill in the required fields to connect to your database like server, database, credentails.

    Hope this helps!
