Foca 4.3.7.1 - Needs SQL Database although SQL Express 2022 is installed

kastahl opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

I installed SQL Express 2022 successfully and run FOCA for installation.
Unfortunately, I received the message that FOCA needs a SQL database.
Trying to setup a databse connection failed.

I tried as Server name following combinations:

".\SQLEXPRESS"
"SQLEXPRESS"
"localhost\SQLEXPRESS"
"localhost"
"systemname\SQLEXPRESS"

Attached also a screenshot from the FOCA error message, which refers to a connection timeout. Note that this message appears in less then a second. And a screenshot from the SQLSERVER version.

I already found and check this issue #95 but no luck with the solution.

Hi, Download & Install > SQL Server 2022 Express
Run FOCA as administrator and it should work.

you should try to connect through the sql authentication option, using the name of the local host or your own ip with port. after, try the sa password. It worked for me in my mac
