coldfusion 8 not connecting to SQL 2005
I am having a problem setting up a development environment on my lap top. I have MSSQL 2005 and coldfusion 8 (developer) installed and when I try to setup a data source to a database named ATC, I get....
Connection verification failed for data source: ATC
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: gw03828:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: gw03828:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
The SQL instance is the default instance and I am referencing it by the machine name GW03828 and wondered if there might be a problem with that. I also created a login that I know had all the necessary permissions and this failed as did SA.
