MS SQL installation error

Hello I am using release 2.2.7.9 mssqlreleasefiles to install mojoportal. I am using a AD account with dbo rights on the database I have created for mojoportal in the connection string... I am getting the following error below during setup. I've triple checked the database server name/uid/password/database name. What could be wrong?

Probing system...
File system permissions ok.

The system cannot connect to the MSSQL database. Please check your connection string.


System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'EDITED OUT'. at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection owningObject) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at mojoPortal.Data.DBPortal.DatabaseHelperGetConnectionError(String overrideConnectionInfo)

Re: MS SQL installation error

Hi,

Its not an ambiguous error the login is failing, triple checking or not, something isn't right in the connection string or the user account doesn't have permissions as you think. I recommend using a sql user not an AD user. If you use a windows user you may need to use the same user for the aspnet user that the web runs as and you may need your connection string formated differently. The format on the included connection string is for a sql user account.

I also recommend using the latest version of mojoPortal, currently 2.2.8.2-b

Hope it helps,

Joe
