2nd Instance of SQL Server 7

How do I install a 'second instance' of MS SQL Server 7
along side my existing production database. I'm told it
is need to publish a second alias (seperate database)
from the same server.
Thanks,
Johnsql7 does not support named instances. hence, you only have 1 default
instance per server.

your only supported option is to upgrade to SQL Server 2000 so that you
can have multiple instances.

26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified

Hi,

Have installed the club site starter kit on my pc and all it works well locally. I've used visual studio to publish my site to my third party webhost. Ive created the DB on their server and altered the connection string to:-

<

connectionStrings><!--<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Server=xx.xx.xx.xx;Database=somedatabasename;User ID=user;Password=Password;Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>-->

</

connectionStrings>

Now its on the webhosts server i get a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).

This occurs when im trying to login in or register.

Can any one help.

Hi Ballantyne

This one usally means that your connection string is wrong - what to do is create a txt file on the web server and then rename it test.udl - now double click it and put in the details to the server and make sure you can connect to the database using the details your storing in your connection string.

Cheers

First make sure your connection string is correct.

CheckSQL Server Troubleshooting to set everything properly.

If problem still exists make sure no firewall blocks your connection.

Hope it helps.

2005 Express and Replication

So if I have a remote location running Express that needs to publish data to
a central server, Enterprise edition, can I do that or is it not possible
due to Express being a Subscriber only for Merge and Transactional
Replication?
If this is not possible, what would be the best way to handle the publishing
of data from the remote to the central location taken into account the fact
that the remote is on a dial-up internet connection only available during
off-hours?
TIA

I'd set it up as a merge subscriber - this allows for offline access and
will send data back to the publisher.
