  Thanks to all in advance for reading this post.

  SW - SQLServer express 2005

  OS - Windows server 2003 (on Amazon cloud service EC2)

  I am trying to deploy a SilverLight 3 application and it cannot connect to the database on the target server. It runs fine on my local development station. I have ported over the database to the EC2 box, and can see the tables in SQLMS

  On the server, in a cmd shell, I have run the following commands

  (When I get the "1>" prompt, I assume I am connected)

  SQLCMD -E -S localhost -- this did not connect (at first)

  I have done this: Surface Area Configuration Tool -->

  Surface Area Configuration for services and connections -->

  Remote Connections --> Set to "Local and remote connections"

  Set to "Both TCP/IP and named pipes

  (I then restarted the SQLserver service)

  SQLCMD -E -S localhost -- this now connects

  I now try to connect using my named user and PW:

  sqlcmd -U MyUser -S localhost -P 89%#jhs123?}4 -- this connects.

  use MyTrack_live

  go

  Changed database context to ‘MyTrack_live’…..

  select labname from labs;

  go

  select username from Users;

  go

  The selects return expected, meaningful answers.

  This tells me that the DB is likely accepting outside connections.

  However, when I use the following in my Web.Config, I get an error message (see ErrorM1 below).

  <add name="MyTrack_liveConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=IP-0AF666D4\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=MyTrack_live; User ID=MyUser;Password=89%#jhs123?}4; Integrated Security=True” providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

  A few questions:

  1) Is there some other client utility other than SQLCMD that will show more connectivity issues?

  2) I am in process of adding CLOG to the RIA so I can look at the logs. What else can I do to get this going?

  Thanks - Pop

  here's my first guess, when covering the basics.

  your server has a hyphen in it's name. that causes problems, in my experience.

  i think the connection will have problems with that unless you wrap it in brackets, or switch to an ipaddress,port format:

  Data Source=IP-0AF666D4\SQLEXPRESS should be

  Data Source=[IP-0AF666D4]\SQLEXPRESS instead, i think.

  you could always rename the server too, but brackets fixes it quick.

  Hi Lowell,

  Thanks for the cycles helping me with my issue.

  I tried the brackets to no avail. I also tried just a dot (".") as server name also to no avail.

  I am getting closer, as I know that none of these work:

  connectionString="Data Source=IP-0AF666D4\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MyTrack_live; User ID=MyUser;Password=89%#jhs123?}4; Integrated Security=True"

  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

  connectionString="Data Source=[IP-0AF666D4]\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MyTrack_live; User ID=MyUser;Password=89%#jhs123?}4; Integrated Security=True"

  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

  connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MyTrack_live; User ID=MyUser;Password=89%#jhs123?}4; Integrated Security=True"

  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

  Thanks - Pop
