I installed SQL server 2014 newly. When I am opening SQL Server Management Studio and giving localhost as server name then I am getting error 40 i.e.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named
Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
While installing the SQL Server there were no instances given by me so there is only default instance. I read many other posts here in Stack overflow and also found that there is no service like MSSQLSERVICE in my services that I can run..
I am not sure what has gone wrong.

I have installed SQL Server (mssql) extension in my VS Code then tried to connect to SQL Server Express with ./SQLEXPRESS, master, integrated log in detail. It should work perfectly as by default there's a database named "master".
But instead I get two errors:
mssql: Error: Unable to connect using the connection information
provided. Retry profile creation?
mssql: Error 3: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred
while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not
found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct
and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
Please can anyone help me with that?

I am having issues connected with SQL 2016 MSSQLLocalDb from my application. The system is a Server 2012 and I have just deployed my web application to it. I have installed SQLLocaldb 2016.
