First time I am using PowerBI and trying to get the data source working.
What I am doing to connect at the moment:
Click on 'Get Data'
Select 'SQL Server database'
Where it says Server I enter server(ip address name) and the SQL instance name on the server e.g. 1.1.1.1\MSSQLSERVER
Its weird because sometimes it takes me to the next page where the options displayed are Windows and Database. I have tried using the login I would use on remote connection to get into the server but no luck. It throws the error:
Details: "Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)"
What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to make a connection of PowerBI with Mysql database. I am not able to find the server name required for connection.
I tried localhost as server name but I need to connect to the live server. Hence that didn't work.
I have connected PowerBI with the local host using wampserver positively.
I have watched this Youtube tutorial :-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggpn3-4FB4s&t=1s
I want to know how to find the server name as shown in the above video.
I have added this question on ServerFault but no one replied.
I have a .net application which calls a webservice deployed on my local windows server 2012 on IIS, and the sql server database resides on that server too. All employees connect to the same service and DB since we're all on the same domain, and I publish the app and webservice to the server through visual studio (2012).
Now I need to make employees access this application when they are outside the company's network, so I deployed the webservice on IIS on one of our remote windows 2012 servers, I created a public shared folder in my remote server and added to app webservice files to it and in visual studio I changed the publish method to web deploy and filled in the information as below:
Server: https://x.x.x.x/
Site Name: https://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder
Destication URL: https://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder/Application
When I click Validate Connection, it fails with the following message:
Could not connect to the remote computer ("x.x.x.x"). on the remote
computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required
process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.
Unable to connect to the remote server
Note that I tried to replace https with http and I got another error:
Could not connect to the remote computer ("x.x.x.x"). on the remote
computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required
process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN.
the remote server returned an error: (401)Unauthorized
I went to the previous link and I did what they suggested:
Create a separate user group MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
Create an local account A on both local & remote computer.
Add A to MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
Use account A to publish, this will allow you to publish without
needing to use built-in admin account.
but the same error (NOT_ADMIN) remained
UPDATE: I found another possible solution:
Add/modify windows registery key
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\”
and set it “1”.
After I added this registry key, the error changed to:
site 'http:' does not exist ... #ERROR_SITE_DOES_NOT_EXIST
So now if I put wrong credentials, I get the unauthorized error, if I use correct credentials I get side does not exist error.
What should I do?
It worked!!
I mean the connection, it's now validated, all I had to do is change site name from "http://x.x.x.x/PublicFolder" to "Default Web Site\SiteName" !!
This was really confusing, finally got it!
I am trying to establish a connection to a database in my C++ code; however, I am unsure how to do so. My database is Azure SQL which uses microsoft sql server as the backend. Could someone provide me a website or code that executes the connection with the server name, database name, username, and pass?
Thank you
To find the connection string, first login to Azure portal, then click your database > Show database connection strings, and you'll see the connection strings for ADO.NET, ODBC, PHP, JDBC.
For c++ code sample of connecting to Azure SQL Database, you can refer to this article https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn630643.aspx , use the ODBC connection string of your database.
We have a webserver connected to an old database. The old database server is end of life. When we set that up we did not need a secure connection. Now we have a new database on a new database server. Our IT department is requiring this to be a secure connection (even though it's an intranet).
Using ColdFusion Administrator I tried simply editing the URL of the server, but I get this error:
Connection verification failed for data source: xxxxxxxx
java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer
JDBC Driver]The SQL Server login requires an SSL connection. The root
cause was that: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]The SQL Server login requires an
SSL connection.
That's when I heard from my IT people that it needs to be a secure connection.
I have no idea how to do that, and Google didn't offer me any help, probably because I don't know what to search for.
Could one of you wonderful people please offer a suggestion on how to create a secure connection from ColdFusion Administrator 10 to MS SQL 2008?
Thank you
