I am new to AppHarbour and I am trying to deploy an ASP.NET MVC 3 Web application here. I have successfully deployed the web application.
Now I want to run some sql scripts on the database provided.
For which I have followed the following steps...
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Now here I get the server name, username and password as well as the database name, but !
When I try connecting to this database using SQL Server Management Studio I just cannot connect to it.
I always get the following error message
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to e2f7c78d*********b9.sqlserver.sequelizer.com.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (ConnectionDlg)
Please can some one help me on this. Thanks

Appharbor uses Sql Server 2008 R2 (Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services, version 10.50.1600.1). Use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 version or newer and it should work.

SQL Server Reporting server doesn't connect : SQL Server 2019 Enterprise

I installed SQL Server 2019 Enterprise edition (with custom instance name, not default one) with CU8 followed by SQL Server Reporting Services. But when I am trying to connect to the SQL Server Reporting Server in SQL Server Management Studio, it shows default instance name i.e. SSRS and it doesn't connect.
However, I am able to connect to the database engine server.
For the same reason I am not able to install Reporting Services Role in my primary site server as Reporting server instance name doesn't get populated. However I am not facing this issue in SQL Server 2012 Enterprise as SQL Server Reporting Services .exe file doesn't come as a separate file in SQL Server 2012 Enterprise and it is installed with SQL Server itself.

SQL Server Database Migration Assistant: Cannot connect to server

I am trying to migrate a database in-place (same PC) from SQL Server 2008 R2 Express to SQL Server 2019 Express, by using DMA (Database Migration Assistant). But I cannot connect to the target server (2008) during the "Assessment" task.
I have installed SQL Server 2019 as coexisting installation assigning the following instance names:
MSSQLSERVER (default name assigned during SQL Server 2008 R2 installation)
MSSQLSERVER2019 (different instance name assigned during SQL Server 2019 installation)
The PC is named DESKTOP1 and this results into the following server names:
DESKTOP1 for SQL Server 2008 R2
DESKTOP1\MSSQLSERVER2019 for SQL Server 2019
Both the server names work fine and I can normally connect to the servers by means of Management Studio.
The weird behaviour is that during the database assessment task, I couldn't connect to the source database server (DESKTOP1). Then I tried to go directly to the "Migration" task and I was able to connect. After this I went back to the "Assessment" task and (kind of magic) I was able to connect to the server DESKTOP1.
Do you have any clue about this issue? It looks like during Migration task there is something that enable the server connection.
Thank you!

Unable to connect to SQL Server in Hydro GeoAnalyst

I have installed Hydro GeoAnalyst 2014.2 and i have started trial and wanted to install demo project. Firstly, i must select data source type, available server and database name. I select data soruce type, then i write sql server instance name and then related combobox filled my databases. Finally, i select my database.
I use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express but Hydro GeoAnalyst return an error when i want to connect my database on MS SQL. Then i have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express and Hydro GeoAnalyst returned the same error:
Unable to Connect 'AYSE/SWS'. Ensure that the SQL Server exists and is running.
I have controlled my MS SQL Server 2012 and 2014 on SQL Server Management Studio and they works with no problems. I have controlled SQL Server Configuration Manager but no solution. Why do i take this error ? Is this because of express edition of SQL Server ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
I send error picture:
If you are using SQL Server Express installed on another machine (not your local machine) make sure you have it configured for remote connections (http://blog.citrix24.com/configure-sql-express-to-accept-remote-connections/).
Also Please be aware that the vendor support email for Hydro GeoAnalyst has changed to support#waterloohydrogeologic.com. If you continue to experience difficulties contact them and they will be happy to look into the issue further.

Connect to SQL Server Management Studio Express FAIL

I have Visual Studio 2010 Pro on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine.
Am trying to work through a DB tutorial requiring Micorosoft SQL Server Management Studio Express so
I Installed SQL Server 2005 Express (the 32 bit flavor)
However I can't even connect to the server
For server names I've tried OSR2-PC as indicated by my command line windows >hostname response
I then tried .\sqlexpress per various blog recommendations (see pic)
I get an error popup that says:
"Additional information:
-> This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers "
Would greatly appreciate help.
Check the SQL services that are running by executing services.msc. Installed SQL Server instances will be shown along with the instance name. Sometimes the instance name is not the same as the hostname.

Unable to login to sql server

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
