Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection To SQL Server

I am trying to setup a notification service sample (from Joel Webb's book) for SQL server 2000 and notification service 2.0.

When i run nscontrol create at the cmd prompt, i am getting the following error:

Notification Services failed to retrieve the SQL Server edition.

SqlServerError:
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Number: 53
State: 0
Class: 20
Server:
Message: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL
Server)
Procedure:
Line Number: 0

Any help on how this could be resolved would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Nirmala -

Thanks for buying the book. I hope you find it useful!

As for your issues, you may want to double check the name of the server and SQL Server instance to make sure they are correct. You may also want to verify that the server does indeed allow remote connections and that it is using named pipes as a communication protocol.

HTH...

I tried all the suggested things but unfortunately still seeing the same errors. Any more thoughts?

|||In the description of the problem you mention SQL Server 2000 and SSNS v2.0. However, in the actual error message it references SSNS 2005.

SSNS v2.0 was developed using version 1.1 of the .net framework and will only work with SQL Server 2000. SSNS 2005 was developed with v2.0 of the .net framework and is only available for use with SQL Server 2005.

Could it be that you have mismatched versions? And that is what is causing the problems you are seeing?

Hi

I had a similar error in analysis project.

In my case I did not use the real servername as I had put an alias name for the server in my hosts file.

When I changed the server name in my datasource to reflect the real server name in stead of the alias name, I was able to deploy the project.

n00b Question Re: MSDE SQL Server Install

Sorry if I sound to simple for you, I'm not sure what your
experience is, and this is how I understand it best.)
SQL Server runs as a Service. That's an app that runs in
the background.
You can have more that one 'Instance' of SQL Server
running at a time. (The number allowed depends on the
version you install.) This allows, let's say, your Website
database running in one instance to crash without having
your accounting db (on another instance) going down also.
On each instance of SQL Server, you can have a number of
Databases.
Hopes that clears some things up. Did you install MSDE (MS
SQL Server Desktop Edition) or SQL Server
Standard/Enterprise/Personal edition?
MSDE does not install some management tools that make
things real easy.
It was Desktop Edition.

|||Yea, Desktop Edition, MSDE, is the redistribution version.
Stripped down. I would think your app would create the
database for itself.
If you don't have a version of SQL running you can install
MSDE with mostly defaults. You don't need to set an
Instance. Then install the app and it should set up the
database.
I hate it when I don't have enough documentation, don't
you.

mysql replication

1 Way trans. replication to a mysql database
SQL Server Env:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Windows NT 5.0 (Build
2195: Service Pack 4)
Distribution Agent:
Error Details:
Invalid cursor state
(Source: ODBC Driver Manager (ODBC); Error number: 24000)
Last Command:
select xactts, subguid from MSrepl7 where pubsrv = ? and pubdb = ? and
indagent = 0 and subtype = 0
I've searched the newsgroups but this doesn't apply to my build ver.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=831997
I'm logging in as a mysql super user, the remote tables have been created.
I'm using the newest MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
The problem recurs when you stop and start the agent and server.
are you replicating to a heterogeneous subscriber? There was a bug
associated with replicating to mysql where it would work until the
distribution agent failed or stopped. On restart you would get an error.

Is there anything I can tune or workaround to get this going ?

workaround for this issue. Hilary is correct, there is a
known issue with the distribution agent code. The
product team is looking at fixing this issue in the
future service packs but there is no specific timeline
right now.

My Very Own SOAP / Web Service Report Viewer

Well, I've finally done it! The first fully functional prototype of the
report viewer control for Reporting Services 2000 is complete. I am
working on a project that cannot wait until RS 2005, so we bit the
bullet and wrote our own component (URL access will not work for a
number of reasons).
Alon with report selection, I have implemented:
1) Parameter selection (including linked params)
2) Page navigation
3) Zooming
4) Refresh
5) Export to: PDF, Excel, CSV, TIFF, XML, MHTML
6) Printing
I have received a lot of help from the RS community, so may thanks to
those of you who frequent this group!
Kulgan.Congratulations!
I have been struggling to build one too. Would you mind sharing your
code/ideas on how to go on about it?
TIA.

Cheers,

using the viewer through SOAP. I would love to see how you did this!
