I just tried installing and running BV Commerce for the first time and I'm getting this error. Now after reading these forums I realize that I must be having some kind of problem connecting to the SQL Server but I don't see what that could be. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the store with the supplied defaults for everything with no luck. I'm pretty sure the connection string is valid.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express. I've made sure that SQL Server has the ASPNET account with permissions to the BVC5 database. I know ASP.NET is working since I've separately tested it. I've also used the aspnet_regsql.exe app to set some settings for ASP.NET. I've also enabled ASP.NET 2 in IIS. The only thing I can think of is that I installed SQL Server 2005 Express before I installed IIS so i wonder if there is something else I need to do.
Any suggestions?

SQL Server 2005 Express defaults to not allowing remote connections. Is the store on the same box as the DB? |
