I copied my Visual Studio 2008 projects to a new computer and am having trouble getting the database to attach to my website to continue with it.
I uninstalled SQL 2005 express and installed SQL 2008 R2 Express.
When I looked in the SQL Server configuration manager, I wasn't sure what should be running and what should be stopped and what protocols should be enabled, etc so I started everything and enabled everything.
However, the SQL Server Agent will not start. Maybe I did something wrong by enabling everything. I have everything to start automatically, and all enabled:
SQL Native Client: I right clicked and opened and under client protocols, have enabled all: Shared memory, TCP/IP , named pipes, VIA
and under SQL Server Network Configuration, I opened that and under there is listed protocols for SQLEXPRESS AND I enabled same things: Shared memory, TCP/IP , named pipes, VIA
When I could not start the SQL Server Agent before from the SQL Server configuration mgr. I went into services and started it that way and it did start. But since I have rebooted, it will not start that way either and I now get this message: Windows could not start the SQL Server Agent(SQLEXPRESS) Service on local computer. Error 1067
I'm just trying to get my visual studio project working again. Would appreciate any help. Maybe I should uninstall SQL and reinstall 2005??
