Moving my C# project from XP to another computer running Windows 20

  Asked By: Kuhaylah    Date: Mar 15    Category: Asp.net    Views: 1542
  

I'm have a whole project finished, running
perfectly happily in Windows XP. It uses a SQL connection to another
computer running SQL 7.0. Everything is written in C#. However, the
final computer this project is to run on is running Windows Advanced
Server 2000. I have moved the files to an intermediate machine, and
now I get an SQL connection error saying that

"The SQL server does not exist or access denied"

I thought maybe the problem was the part of the connection string that
said "workstation id=RALPH" (RALPH is the development machine, APU is
the one I'm trying to host it on), so I changed it to "workstation
id=APU", then just deleted it altogether. I copied the whole
directory over, so the assembly in the \bin directory is also there.
If anybody can tell me what to do to fix this, please help me.

If you're using Integrated SQL Security, you need to setup the 2000AS box
for asp.net impersonation using an account which has SQL access.

Okay. Can you tell me how to do that? And thanks for the quick
response... I'm impressed.

I'm using a SQL username and password, I assumed that as long as I
was using the same username, the project  would work hosted on any
computer... is this not the case?

It should be working fine then. Presumably you can ping the SQL Server from
the 2000 server, and the login is valid.

My connection  string at the moment looks like this:


this.sqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "data source=HOMER;initial
catalog=Change_Control;password=starwars;persist security
info=True;user id=myprojectname;packet size=4096";

Firstly, I wouldn't recommend that you post your password in the future. :)


Try dumbing the con string down to something like this for troubleshooting:

data source=HOMER;initial catalog=ChangeControl;user
id=myprojectname;password=starwars;

By the way, I'm using Visual Studio .NET, and that's the string it
generated for me, minus the "workstation id=" part. I'll try
dumbing it down and get back to you.

Okay, I dumbed it down, and still got the same error. You think
this might be a SQL server configuration issue? I don't know much
about how SQL server works. (By the way, yes, I can ping from APU to
HOMER)

Have you tried installing EM on the 2000AS and checking to see if you can
login with your credentials?

 
Answer #9    Answered By: Holly Brown     Answered On: Mar 15

I just found the guy in charge of the SQL test server I
was trying to connect to, and it turns out that it's DNS wasn't set
up correctly. Anyway, I changed "HOMER" to the IP address, and now
everything works fine. Thanks for all your help, I'll definately be
using this forum from now on.
