Having trouble getting my local IIS7 running C # MVC app to connect to a newly installed Sql 2008. IT was working wiht SQL Express, but we upgraded every machine to full SQL. Now, just my machine, will not connect to SQL 2008.
Followed many websites info, fooled wiht the user account both in IIS7 and SQL2008. Setting permissions to the DB’s with db_owner(actually selected every permission) just not connecting.
I noticed the w3wp.exe service is not running. Not sure if that is the issue or if it was even running before.
Messed with the and tried all the sugeestions and tutorials out there that had to do with
Application pools are running, their set to the proper settings
IIs Account NetorkServices
Sql NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
created users for IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0
When i check the sql logs there is no sign of it even trying to connect. The only message i get is when i restart IIs. Just says starting and stopping.
Been thru this before when i first tried to connect to SQL express, and was not this hard, and i did not touch anything in IIs when i installed sql 2008. So it should have connected.
Any other suggestions out there?
Indirectly you lead me to the solution. lol
Started searching on running IIs and Sql 2008 on the same machine.
Running on a Win7 64bit, IIS7 an sql2008 R2.
Long story short, after hours and hours of fighting with IIS and SQL.
IIS7 –> Application Pools –> Select your pool –> Advanced settings –> General tab –> Enable 32-bit Applications set to true.
How it got to false, or why sqlexpress worked and sql2008 did not, not sure. But this fixed the issue.
