Connection String for SQLEXPRESS on different server from PROGET
-
Hello,
I am trying to connect ProGet to an SQL 2012 Express instance on a remote server. I have tried the following without success:
Data Source=ServerName\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=ProGet; Integrated Security=False;User Id=Domain\username;Password=password;Can you tell me what the correct connection string is?
Product: ProGet
Version: 3.7.4 -
This could be caused by any number of things. Some things to check:
- inbound firewall is open for port 1433
- SQL authentication is enabled if specifying a username/password in connection string (note using Integrated Authentication instead is strongly recommended)
- the installation is actually in an instance named SQLEXPRESS (if default instance is chosen at installation, you don't need the \SQLEXPRESS part)
- in SQL Server Network Configuration, TCP/IP is enabled and active
-
Thanks. Removing \SQLEXPRESS fixed it.
