Hi friends,
"provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server"
Yes, I am getting this error when I try to browse my test application web page right from IIS7.5 (i.e. right click on the web page > say browse) on my new web server (Windows Server 2008).
The database server and the SQL instance is setup perfectly fine.
The connection string is perfectly fine too.
From the other web servers, I can browse the same web page that points to the same database, that's whay I am 100% sure that there is no issue at DB.
I don't know what else could be wrong here.
I have been trying so hard for last few days to fix this, but still no luck.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
