Install Telligent Community Server

Hi
I was trying to install the community server in web application using the web installation wizard. I was able to login with the user and password with the server address. However, when specified with the database to install the Community Server, I get the following error


Number:18456:
Message:Login failed for user 'abc'.

Has any one installed Community server on the server. If so can i get some help in doing so on the server

 

I have followed the steps given in the discountasp kb for installing the Telligent Community Server.

DETAILS - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS



A) Enable MS SQL addon in the hosting control panel, if it is not already enabled. To avoid any conflicts, we would highly recommend using a fresh database for the application install.


B) Download Community Server v2 or v1.1 from http://communityserver.org


C) Unzip the content on your computer.


D) Enable the web installer.
- Open \Web\Installer\default.aspx
- Change the following line

bool INSTALLER_ENABLED = false;

to

bool INSTALLER_ENABLED = true; </BLOCKQUOTE>E) Upload the files and directories using FTP to a directory of your choice. We will use /CS (on the webserver) for this walkthrough.


F) Setup the /CS subfolder as an IIS Application.
- Navigate to the Web Application Tool in the hosting control panel. (https://my.discountasp.net)
- Select the directory you uploaded the files. /CS in this example.
- Click Install Application </BLOCKQUOTE>G) Activate the web installer by navigating to http://YourHostedDomainName.com/CS/installer/


H) Go through the installer
1. Click next on the 1st page
2. Read and agree to the License
3. In the Database Login page
- Type in your SQL Server Name, eg. Mssql01
- Check SQL Server Authentication
- Enter your SQL Username
- Enter your SQL user password </BLOCKQUOTE>


4. In the Database Instance Screen, select the database you want Community Server to use.





I selected my database instance


DB_1435516_dotnetnuke...





However it gives me the following error
Number:18456:
Message:Login failed for user 'username'




Can some one help me resolve this error</BLOCKQUOTE>

 

Hi Bruce,

I had exactly the same problem as Kum. I had already requested a SQL Server 2005 database and that was commissioned and working fine. I connected to it using SQL Server Management Studio fine with no problems so I know that the database name and user credentials where right and working.

When installing Community Server using the web installer I got the same error that Kum reported when using exactly the same credentials that I use with SSMS. In the end I had to install CS manually.

However I know get the following error when I try an connect to the CS Control Panel.

Server Error in '/Community' Application.


An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
I don't know why this should be and I've posted to the CS forums hoping to find a fix.

Has anyone set up CS V2 with a SQL Server2005 database at discountasp? If so I'd love to know how they configured it to work.

Cheers

Mark

 

This could be a bug with the installation. I found this forum post in communityserver.org on how to fix it:
