Hi, We are installing ARS 7.6.04 on a Windows Server 2008 with the database as SQL 2008 which is on a separate machine. The installation is getting stuck at the last when starting the services, error log is throwing the below errors continuously -
Thu Nov 24 15:29:02 2011 390600 : SQL database is still not available -- continuing to attempt connection (ARNOTE 591) Thu Nov 24 15:29:48 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Thu Nov 24 15:29:48 2011 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17) Thu Nov 24 15:30:34 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Thu Nov 24 15:30:34 2011 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17) Thu Nov 24 15:31:20 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Thu Nov 24 15:31:20 2011 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17) Thu Nov 24 15:32:06 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Thu Nov 24 15:32:06 2011 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17) Thu Nov 24 15:32:06 2011 390600 : SQL database is still not available -- continuing to attempt connection (ARNOTE 591) Thu Nov 24 15:32:52 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Thu Nov 24 15:32:52 2011 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17) Thu Nov 24 15:33:38 2011 390600 : The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552) Upon checking in the database, we can see the ARSystem and related tables created, but not sure why this error in the error log which is causing the installation to fail. From the connectivity part, we are using a port which is not the default 1433 and for this, we have created an alias in the SQL native client with the port number. Any idea on what could be missing that is causing the installation to fail.
