Server Install problem

Post by mazielvcLSES » Thu Jun 20, 2019 12:20 pm

I'm trying to install Vault Pro Server and I get the following error (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Bellow is the log file of the installation.
I have SQL server express and I used the .\sqlexpress as SQL Server.
SQL Server Browser is running, I ahve added sqlbrowser.exe and sqlsrvr.exe to the firewall.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

During the installation process when prompted to Connect to SQL Server - Which option did you chose?

Windows authentication will use the account specified in the IIS Process Model. SQL authentication will require you to enter in a SQL sysadmin account such as sa, but Vault will create its own user called sgvaultuser that it will use after the installation.

Can you please confirm the user specified has SQL Server admin rights?

Thanks,

Tonya

Thanks for your reply.
I tried connecting using Windows Authentication.
The IT manager says there is no sysadmin created for SQL and I can create one if needed (Id on't know how yet)
He also says there is no Active Directory set up, no domain, not even a local DNS server and may complicate things.
Should I create a sysadmin before continuing?

Thanks,

Yes, you will need to setup a SQL Server administrator before you can install Vault.

I have copied below the Vault Server installation Guide that should assist you:
