Hi Guys
I am not an expert on MS SQL Server. For one of the upcoming projects, we intend to use Trend Micro's DSM which requires a MS SQL Server.
For the evaluation of the product, I have installed Windows Server 2012 180 Evaluation copy in a Virtual box and tried to install the SQL Server 2012 Express on that OS. The installation of SQL Server 2012 did not report any errors. However after having installed SQL Server 2012 Express, I tried to install the Trend Micro's DSM(Deep Security Manager). When we are given with the Database setup portion during the installation, I select the DB as SQL Server and key in the hostname as "host name" or tried with the "ip address of the host" then provided the user name as "sa" and the password. When I click on the next button, it throws the error "Unable to connect to the database: Network error IOException: Connection refused: connect"
I searched for few answers on google, but none seemed to have a resolution for my issue.
I would greatly appreciate if if someone could let me know how can I solve this issue.
Regards
Jossy
