Author  Topic  unaveen Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2009-01-21 : 23:15:27 Hi , 1- I downloaded the 180 day trial (developer) verssion of Sql Server 2008 2 - i installed all the components in the feature selection page of the enterprise edition. 3- Using mixed mode i installed the native mode default configuration. 4.After the install was successful i proceeded to create my own database . 5. Now this statement con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=testdb;integratedSecurity=false;"+"user=testuser;password=pass"); gives the exception Exception: The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. Error: Connection refused: connect. Please verify the connection properties and check that a SQL Server instance is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP connections to the port. Please note i have checked the registry entries and seen 1433 is the default port . Also i am doing all this locally on the same machine ..i.e my Java program is running on the same machine as the Database. I am using latest sqljdbc4.jar Please help.. It doesnt look nice on the part of such convenient dbase to get me stuck in there
