Troubleshooting SQL Server connections
If you are having trouble establishing a connection to SQL Server, review the following considerations:
• If you installed SQL Server using a server name other than the default, use your chosen domain\servername
wherever there's a reference to (local).
The following situations can cause a Connection Refused error:
• If you specified authentication information in SQL Server, ensure that you have not defined a user name and
password in the ColdFusion data source.
• You are running a connection-limited version of SQL Server and the request exceeds the limit for TCP/IP
connections.
You can prevent this exception by setting the Limit Connections and Restrict Connections To options in
ColdFusion Administrator on the Advanced Settings page for the data sources, and specifying a number less than
the SQL Server maximum.
• SQL Server does not enable the TCP/IP protocol. This problem can happen when SQL Server is on the same
computer as ColdFusion. To fix this problem, perform the following steps:
In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, right-click on the name of your SQL Server and click Properties.
1
2 Click Network Configuration and the General Tab.
Move TCP/IP from the Disabled Protocols section to the Enabled Protocols section.
3
Click OK.
4
5 Restart the SQL Server services.
Verify your data source.
6
• If you have are having trouble connecting, consider using mixed-mode authentication for SQL Server (Windows
and SQL) and removing the user name and password from the ColdFusion data source.
