   [.net] SQL Server 2005 Express :: No Process On The Other End Of The Pipe?
  Well, I am using SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Mgmt. Studio Express. Everything was working perfectly fine. Then, all of a sudden, when I tried to add a new database, connect to the server, or anything else I got an error message about "No process is on the other end of the pipe." I searched the MSDN Library (local) and it said to make sure TCP/IP is enabled, because it isn't enabled by default. That's all it told me. It was working just fine before. Then, it started happening for no reason. I didn't make any changes.Sometimes it says "Named Pipes" and sometimes it says "Shared Memory" (in the error message). Why is this happening? I didn't make any changes. I was connecting just fine before. I walked away from my computer, went back, and there was the error, when I tried to add a new database from Server Mgmt. Studio.Windows 2000 Pro SP4, VS .NET 2005 Pro, SQL Server 2005 EE/Server Mgmt. Studio EEAny ideas?Thanks in advance,    Matt U.   
I havn't seen this before, have you posted this message in the SQL Express groups on MSDN.Also where are you getting the error, is it when you create the db in the mgr studio. Have you tried creating it using the command line tools.   ;  Well, thanks for the reply. But I fixed the problem. I just uninstalled/re-installed SQL Server. It works fine now, as it did before. Thanks anyhow! =)And I had fixed the problem I posted about. I was then getting an error if I tried to connect locally, disconnected, then connected remotely. Or if I connected remotely, disconnected, then connected locally. It was saying "The specified network address is no longer available."But after the re-install, the problem was solved! =)
