    Cannot connect to database during install

    I have a clean project, which i am trying to get started. I have also created a clean database.

    Both are running locally on my pc.

    I can connect to my database with linqpad, with no issues. But when i try to "customize" and set a microsoft SQL server, it says " Could not connect to database". And in console, i get a 500 internal server error, on :

    :62164/install/api/PostValidateDatabaseConnection

    What can i do ?

    Hi Andre

    Can you check SQL server connection with MSSQL management studio?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    In the Umbraco customize screen:

    • Check you have typed "." (just a dot) or "(local)" as the server name
    • Check you have typed the database name exactly
    • Check that you have ticked Integrated Security (if you log into SQL Server with your Windows credentials) or have the correct SQL Server credentials

    I reinstalled umbraco, and then it worked...

    I had this same problem. Try selecting the "Trust Database Certificate" checkbox.
