WSS "Cannot connect to the configuration database"
- by Tim
I have 64-bit WSS 3.0 installed on a 64-bit Windows 2003 Server. After installing WSS 3.0 I switched IIS to run in 32-bit emulation mode as we have some applications that require this.
I'm getting a "Cannot connect to the configuration database" trying to get to the Central Admin page and wondered if:
a. The setup I have won't work and I'm wasting my time trying to figure this out.
or
b. If anyone has any suggestions for resolving the database connection issue?
The identity of the app pool that WSS runs under has all the required permissions in SQL so far as I can tell.
Any help would be appreciated!
