I have installed SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express 32 bit. I have installed it successfully but when I try connect with SQL Server I am getting an error
Then I thought to turn the services ON from SQL Server Configuration Manager but I am not able to see any
Also my SQL Server Configuration Manager shows some corrupt as below:
Download and install SQL Server database engine. Here is the link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-downloads
Express edition will be good.
Although this question was posted two years ago, most of the new developers face this problem. I had the same issue and I hope this will help other developers as well.

I am trying to use SQL Server Management Studio 2017 with local database.
When i try to connect to local database i get this
I installed SQL Server Management Studio from this link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017
I was searching the web for solution but i haven't found it yet.
When i open SQL server configuration manager
is what i see.
I also tried using different server names but i haven't had much luck with that.
Maybe i need to install some additional software?
Please Install SQL Server.
Your problem will get solved.
Thanks.
I freshly installed Microsoft SQL Server on my machine and started it. When I try to connect to a server I use a . for the server name (which should point to the local machine from what I read?). However I get the following error:
So I went to the SQL Server Configuration Manager and checked under SQL Server Services, which seems to be empty.
How can I establish a connection?
Your services are not running.
Make sure you installed this.
The above answer was correct, however, you only installed the SQL Server Management Studio.
If you installed Express, downloaded from the Microsoft website you might want to download and create the server instance with the management studio. You will need to select if you want Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication using a username and password. Remember to add the current windows user for using either.
Here is SQL Server 2014 Express: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx.
This will download everything you need to connect to a server.
Please let me know if you need more information.
I dont know much about sql server.
I have just re-installed windows 7 on my laptop. After that I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition. I also Installed SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.
Now when I try to log in to sql server management studio by using server name as . or (local) or .\SQLEXPRESS or PC-Name\SQLEXPRESS and using Windows Authentication I get the error as below.
Please dont mark this question as negative as I have searched on google for last 4 hours but did not understand the problem.
Update:
There are many reasons that may cautioning the problem:
SQL Server is not running
SQL Server is not properly configured
You try to connect with a worng instance Name
You can try the following:
Go to Mycomputer->Rigt Click->Manage->Application and Services
And from there check that SQL Server Express is running
2.From there also, gCheck the Instance name of your SQL Express and be sure when you log on to Management Studio you Provide the same Instance name
Confirm that the service is installed and running. Under Computer Management, drill-down into Services and Applications -> Services.
There should be a service named "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". Try a restart or start of the service.
If any other instance of SQL Server is installed it will be listed - try connecting to LOCALHOST(whatever the instance is listed as) to verify the installation is functional.
UPDATED following further information from comments:
You may have only installed the client tools (management studio), and have not installed the database service. Ensure you have the correct installer which includes the database services engine.
First check that the SQL Server parameters are set accordingly.
Go to Start -
All Programs — Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 — Configuration tools —
SQL Server Configuration Manager
Under SQL Server Services, make sure that the instance is running :
SQL Server ()
SQL Server Browser
Under SQL Server Network Configuration - Protocols for (), these are enabled:
TCP/IP
Named Pipes
Do the same under SQL Native Client 10.0 under Client Protocols
I cannot get my local computer to run SQL Server. I looked in the SQL Server configuration manager and noticed that there are no SQL Server Services listed. That can't be right. I also noticed that There are two Managers listed in the SysWOW64 folder (I'm running Win7): SQLServerManager10.msc and SQLServerManager.msc. Neither show any services at all. When trying to connect via SSMSE, I get the standard:
A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL server...
I haven't installed a prior version, but did try to uninstall and reinstall using the Web platform installer from Microsoft. Any suggestions?
Thanks
I had the same problem and as Brian said, I was missing SQL Server Express. So I download SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and I installed it. now everything works fine.
Note that I thought I already installed it when I installed SQL Management Studio R2. Now, be aware that when installing SQL Management Studio R2, you are not installing SQL Server and you won't get any SQL Server Services in your Sql Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Services. You also need to download and install SQL Server Express.
Is SQL Server listed in services? (Start->Run->Services.msc)
If so, is it running?
That is an instance error, meaning you cannot connect to the instance. Most likely there is no instance installed on this machine. Meaning your not connecting correctly to the instance. Connect to the database engine again and check the server name and make sure your connecting to the correct server name or the local host, depending if this is a local machine or if this is on a server. Go back through setup and see if there are any features that didn't get installed. Try that and see if it works. If not then reinstall SQL Server and make sure all folders are removed and nothing is left behind before you reinstall.
I am getting the following error:
Open
OLE error code:80004005 in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
HRESULT error code:0×80020009
Exception occurred.
I have tried following the directions here with no luck.
Any ideas?
FIXED
My specific issue I believe was related to having to many mixed systems installed on my laptop. I had Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 components and SQL Server Management Standard loaded with SQL Server Express Edition as well as various other components that might have affected the stability of my environment. Once I reloaded Vista and went back through the steps from the link above it worked without issue.
I only loaded the Express Editions of SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio.
Usually a authentication/permissions error.
Is the SQL Server on the same box as the web server, review the accounts they are running under, and review the type of connection you are making (integrated or otherwise)?
Random guess: By default SQL Server (express, at least anyway) does NOT enable network access. The SQL Admin manager tools connect to it using named pipes, however rails most likely will be trying to use TCP.
