Installing on Windows server 2012
-
Hello.
I've tried to install the newest client version of netxms on Windows server 2012 and it worked fine, but I have some further issues that i cannot fix and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the support of the new OS.
When configuring the server, every time it starts to apply server configuration, I'm getting errors when connecting to the database. The same thing happens without preinstalled MSSQL(only with the native client version, that installs together with netxms) or with MSSQL 2008 express(which has some compability issues on WS 2012).
The error is:
"Unable to connect to database:[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Named Pipes Provider:Could not open a connection to SQL Server".
Does this have something to do with the new OS? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Please note that I am only a student and I don't have experience using this kind of software.
The other question is: Do I have to set up the SQL server before the installation of netxms? I have tried to configure netxms server either with setting up SQL server first or not having it set up before.
I would appreciate any kind of information that might help me.
PS.
Excuse me for my English, as I'm not a native speaker. -
Dont worry about your English, its very good.
I assume your SQL is installed on the same machine to use named pipes, so open SQL Server Configuration Manager, choose SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for {instance} and ensure Named Pipes is enabled.
If the connection then works, but NetXMS doesnt, try reinstalling the core service and it should set up the database at that time.
