I have a new website that I’m trying to deploy. It works great on my local machine, but when I install on the server, it no longer works and I don’t get any error messages. I’m using SQL Server Express, but this isn’t installed on the server. Do I need to do this?
You need to ensure that you have TCP/IP settings enabled on the SQL Express you’re trying to connect to in order to allow external connections.
It may also be worth while specifying a standard port rather than the dynamic ones it usually assigns so that you can add an exception to your firewall to allows access through this port if required.
