Yellowfin installation on Microsoft SQL Server
8 October, 2009
I am trying to install Yellowfin into Microsoft SQL Server. I usually haven't had any issues so far
with any installations however this one is causing me some grief.
I am unable to connect to the database during the install process.
I got an error message like "unable to connect to the database"

That particular error message means it cannot connect to the server with the current entered parameters. The default port to connect to sql servers is usually 1433, so you might want to change that current value in the "Database Server Port" field.
After doing this, it would be good to also check that the TCP/IP protocol is enabled for port 1433. You can do this with the SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the "Protocols for MSSQLServer->TCP/IP" section. In this section, you will be able to confirm that the protocol is enabled, and that the TCP port is set to 1433.
