Hi,
I am installing an eval version of NCM on our test server for testing. I have done this many times but this time I cannot seem to get the configuration wizard to run. I keep getting the following error:
An error occured configuring Orion Configuration Manager Database: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared memory]SQL server does not exist or access denied.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).. Please check the ConfigurationWizard/log file for details.
Ok so I checked the confWizard log file and I copied the lines of interest rather than the whole thing.
2009-02-24 09:52:08,656 [1] INFO Program - Configuration Wizard Starting.
2009-02-24 09:52:29,421 [1] INFO SettingsController - Database Server Name - (local)
2009-02-24 09:52:29,421 [1] INFO SettingsController - Database User - ****** removed
2009-02-24 09:52:29,421 [1] INFO SettingsController - Use SQL Security - True
2009-02-24 09:52:29,421 [1] INFO SettingsController - Database Name - cirrus
2009-02-24 09:52:29,421 [1] INFO SettingsController - Create New Database - False
There are 2/3 lines of interest here for me. I do not get the chance to adjust these properties at this early stage in the confWizard.
Database Server Name - (local) There are no databases under the (local) name
Database Name - cirrus There is no database on (local) called cirrus
Create New Database - False Where is the setting that willl allow me to change this to TRUE. A new database needs to be created
I have reinstalled both SQL express and NCM numerous times. I have manually created databases in SQL studio, nothing has worked. Even if I search using the SW database manager i can't find anything on (local). However if I use: TheServerName\SQLexpress I can see the databases I have created using the SQL Management studio.
Anyone have any suggestions?
this is really frustrating as I cannot upgrade to the latest version of NCM until I complete this testing
Cheers
