Failed to connect to database server when installing VC

Former Member

Can someone help me out..

I'm trying to install the visual composer and I keep getting this error

"Failed to connect to database server"

"Verify connection detail"

OS: Windows 2003 with IIS 6.0

I have done and read the note 804496

hostname: hostname\EPD

tcp/ip port: 1433

db name: VCDB

user name: sa

password: our password.

1) I already set the authentication to

SQL AND windows only.

2) When I connect through SQL analyzer, I am able to connect.

Am I missing something.

Please advise.

thanks

Jen

Hi Jennifer,

It is a very peculiar problem, still let me try.

Instead of using Hostname during database configuration, try to use ip address of the SQL Server. Also try to set the authentication to SQL only.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Deep,

Thanks so much for your reply. I do have the authentication to "SQL and Window".. there's no SQL by itself.

Then I try it with ip address of the sql server..

It's still gave me the error.

Do you have anymore ideas.

thanks in advance.

Jennifer
