EW ERROR: "I won't open a connection to 127.0.0.1 (only to ...) (500)

I wonder if anyone here can offer some advice.
I've been using EW 4 for a couple of years to create and modify my business's website.
Maybe six months ago, I started get the error message in this post's title whenever I try to publish changed pages to my hosting provider's server. The message is Greek to me; I have no clue how to troubleshoot it.
In the meantime, I've been updating my site using my regular FTP software. That has worked fine, as long as I remember exactly which pages I've changed! I'd much prefer to go back to using EW to publish my site, especially since I want to reorganize the
folder structure since I have thousands of files on my site that aren't very well organized.
I tried an EW repair installation today, but the problem persists.
I've searched the archives and found a few threads reporting this problem, but none that suggests where I should look for help. If I call my hosting provider, what should I be asking them? They're always very helpful, but when I called them previously, they
insisted that it's a EW problem that they're not qualified to diagnose. If I knew more about what the error message means, I could probably get more help from them, since I assume the problem is at their end somehow.

127.0.0.1 is your local host or loopback address.
Try changing your publishing destination, with the site open in EW, click Site > Publishing settings and enter the correct address of your remote site.

  • Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server. Only happens on one of the front end SRS servers

    when testing a datasource connection I get the following error.
    Named Pipes provider, error:40 could not open a connection to sql server.
    I've read all the posts on this and nothing works.  This is a scale out deployment and the connection
    works from the other server I have setup with SRS that is connected to the same backend SRS databases.  It just doesn't work from one of the SRS front ends.  I'm at a loss..  please help

    Enable both named pipe and TCP communications.
    Make sure client is using the same (named) pipe name as server for connection.

  • Reporting Services 2008 R2 configuration error: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and on one of our dev boxes I am trying to setup ReportServer using ReportingServices Configuration manager. This is was installed longtime back and during installation they created a service account for reporting services.
    When I try to configure the service account I do not get the service account created during the installation in the pull down and if I were to use something different I get this "Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server"

  • Re: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    Hi,
    I'm encountering an issue with "Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 windows" and am having problems determining how to fix it due to the environment I'm using.  I have two SQL Servers installed on two separate Win2K3 Server boxes, one is SQL Server 2000 and the other is SQL Server 2005.  The SQL Server 2000 contains the actual application data.  The 2005 database is used only for Reporting Services.  I've set up the reports on SSRS such that their datasources hit the 2000 server.  This is using SQL Server authentication.
    When testing the reports via SSRS (in Visual Studio 2005), the connection to the data works and the reports are generated fine.  When I deploy them to the reporting server and launch IE to test locally (still on the 2005 box), I get this "Named Pipes Provider, error 40" issue.  I made sure that Named Pipes and TCP were enabled and the port set at 1433 (to match that on the 2000 box). 
    Now I changed the datasource's authentication from SQL Server to Windows authentication.  I tested this in SSRS and this works too.  When I redeployed the reports with this authentication change, testing the reports via IE locally (on the 2005 box) worked.  Great.  Now when I open IE on an external box, i.e. on the 2000 box, and try to test the reports, I get this same error 40 issue.  I've been through a few threads describing the error 40, fiddling around with the SQL Server configuration as well as SSRS, to no avail.  I have a feeling this error 40 issue has to due with permissions/authentication between the SQL Server boxes but I can't really be sure.  Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot my situation.  Thanks.

    Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server :
    I.   Incorrect connection string, such as using SqlExpress.
    Check out: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=558456&SiteID=17
                    https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1245564&SiteID=1
    The typical error when dealing with Express includes:
    a.  User is not aware of SqlExpress was installed as a named instance, consequently, in his/her connection string, he/she only specify ".","localhost" etc instead of ".\SqlExpress" or "<machinename>\Sqlexpress".
    b. Np was disabld by default after installing SqlExpress.
    c. If Sqlexpress was installed on the remote box, you need to enable remote connection for Express.
    Please read the following blog for best practice of connecting to SqlExpress.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/03/23/558651.aspx
    II. Named Pipes(NP) was not enabled on the SQL instance.
    Check out: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=136253&SiteID=1
    Oppose to SQL 2000 which turn on all protocols, SQL 2005 SKUs turn off NP by default. So, when you see this error, please check:
    1) Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager, See Server has NP enabled.
    2) %windir%\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql.1\mssql\log, notepad ERRORLOG, see whether Server is listening on NP.  You should see "Server named pipe provider is ready to accept connection on [ \\.\pipe\sql\query ] or [\\.\pipe\mssql$<InstanceName>\sql\query]"
    3) Notice that "sql\query" is the default pipe name, so you need to know server is listening on which pipe name. eg: if you specify server pipe name is "sql\query1", then you would see in the errorlog that server listening on [ \\.\pipe\sql\query1 ], and go to SQL Server Configuration Manager, click client Named Pipe properties, see whether the pipe name is same with the one server listening on.
    4) If you are using SQL Native Client ODBC/OLEDB provider({SQL Native Client} or SQLNCLI), go to SQL Configuration Manager, click client protocols, make sure NP and TCP are both enabled. Right click properties of NP, make sure client is using the same pipe name as server for connection.
    5) If you are using MDAC ODBC/OLEDB({SQL Server} or SQLOLEDB) provider, in command line, launch "cliconfg.exe" and make sure NP enabled and right pipe name specified.
    III. Remote connection was not enabled. 
    Check out: when you right click on the Server in SQL Server Management Studio, in Connections, the Remote server connections part, you have enabled the "Allow remote connections to this server" check box

    If you are making a remote connection, namely, your target SQL Server is on the different box as client application, you might need to check whether:

    a. use "sc query mssqlserver" for default instance or "sc query mssql$<instancename>" to make sure SQL Server was started. Sometimes, reseason behind the broken of your client application w/ this error:40 might be SQL server restarted and failed, so, it'd better for you to double check.
    b. User specified wrong server in their connection string, as described in the forum discussion, "MSSQLSERVER" is an invalid instance name. Remember, when you connect to default instance, <machinename> could be best representitive for the instance, when you connect to a named instance such as sqlexpress, you should specify <machinename>\<instancename> as data source in your connection string.
     V. Other reasons such as incorrect security context.
    Check out: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=192622&SiteID=1
    Such error also occured during user operation such as moving database or db mirroring or cluster, any DB OP that might invovle different sql instances, namely, the destination database is located in another sql instance and user is not aware of the state of the destination. I recommend you first isolate whether this fail is during connection stage or data operation stage.
    a. During data operation, you are normally asked to type in the destination server name whether it is default to "(local)" or another server "<remotemachinename>". So, remember the exact string that represent the target instance, then when the error repros, open command line, use "sqlcmd -S<representitive> -E" ,see what happens, if the connection fail, please follow up above I - IV troubleshooting lists. otherwise continue.
    b. If you can make basic conection, but still face the error, then there must be something that server reject the connection or client close the connection for some reason.
    VI. Please try basic connectivity tests between the two mahcines you are working on. One simple way to verifty connectivity is to use command line tools, such as osql.exe. For example, osql -E -Stcpervername\instancename. If it connects cross-machine successfully, please also verify that your connection string in your scenario is correct.
    Here are some blogs which could be helpful: just follow the basic connectivity troubleshooting guidelines on the SQL Protocols blog, see:

  • Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    This was originally posted in the SSIS Forum, but a member of the IS team suggested it be moved here.  "Most recently I got this error (Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?"
    I'm having the same issue, and here's our scenario:
    Installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a machine with WinXP SP2 and enabled remote connections over TCP/IP
    Installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a machine with Win2003 SP1 (remote connections over TCP/IP enabled by default)
    Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'Detach and Attach' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
    Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'SQL Management Objects' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
    Reinstalled Standard Edition on the Win2003 SP1 machine
    Checked all the settings on both machines several times, restarted services etc., and read every post I could find referencing the error.
    Same error

    Thanks. Where could I possibly look for a firewall rule. I knowingly did not creat any. My system has internet coming to a Modem which then is connected to a wireless router. I have computers connecting to the router through cable as well as wireless. One of these computers has been our  mailserver using Mercury and Pegasus and that computer has a static IP address. The Mac Mini also has been assigned a different srtatic IP address. I have only set up user account, none of them an email account as I initially expect them to receive only internal mails. Is it necessary that I must set up an email id for each user while setting up the user account. My server id is server.local. So would the email id for local users be [email protected]?

    At the present time, the on-device AppWorld client requires an active BIS-level data plan from your carrier. Further, it only accesses the AppWorld infrastructure via your carrier data network -- it will not connect via WiFi, even if you have an active BIS plan and BIS is connected via WiFi.

  • Error 40: Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    Hey 
    i am getting following error can any one give a suggestion 
    Thanks in Advance :)

    This error is thrown when the a connection to the SQL Server cannot be established
    There are many reasons, listing few of them
    1. SQL Server service is not running, If you are trying to connect to a named instance, the SQL Browser service should be up and running
    2. The  SQL server connection information provided are not correct (Servername or isntancename)
    3. If you are trying to connect remotely make sure that "accept remote  connection" option is enabled, firewall rule is created so that it will allow connections .

    I have deleted some files from iPhoto library in an effort to get more disk space. Trying to import from camera. Getting error message that says it cannot open File 2002/01/11. That file has been deleted. Clicked continue and message kept popping up. When download was "complete" it did not show up in last import folder or in main library folder. What am I doing wrong? At least I changed setting to keep photos on camera disk after import. I should warn you that I am not the brightest pea in the pod when it comes to new technology.

    Thanks, I KNEW it was something I did. Never had any trouble before.
    There is no way I can retrieve the deleted files. Emptied trash many times since then. Camera has been in repair shop for several weeks. And, as you already know, you are correct that I was deleting without iPhoto being launched.
    I am using 2.0.1. It's not clever enough to update it's files? And what does that have to do with importing new pix? I have not gotten my 15 page list out to see if the photos I deleted are still in the albums.
    In the future, should I delete from the main library? or the album? if I want them permanently gone (while in iPhoto, of course). It was so much easier to delete from a numerical list than to have view the photos, but I will not do that again if it is not good for my application.
