SQL Server Hosting Italy - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Fix "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 38" on SQL Server

clock October 2, 2014 08:55 by author Peter

PROBLEM

Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 38
Login failed for user 'produser'. Reason:Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIET: 192.168.10.10]

or
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.
Login failed for user 'XXXXXX'. [CLIENT: xxx.xx.x.xxx]


This is one of the most frustrating login failure errors on SQL Server. It does not mention what database the login was trying to connect to. The windows event viewer logs do not give any further information.

SOLUTION

It seems that prior to SQL Server this meant the same as State 16. But in that case you would actually see the database name to which the login was trying to connect.
To troubleshoot state 38 you need to run a profiler trace and capture the following two events.

Errors and Warnings: User Error Message
Security Audit: Audit Login Failed.

Make sure you select all the columns and run the trace while the login attempt is made.
For the event “User Error Message” you should see the database name to which the connection is being attempted. Verify the database exists and verify that the user has been created in the database and has the permission to connect to the database. You should also check if this is an orphaned user and fix it.



Drupal 7 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to enable Clean URL in Drupal 7

clock September 22, 2014 09:32 by author Peter

When you make a fresh installation of Drupal 7, your URL will look like the following:

http://localhost/~user/drupal7/?q=user

Information from Google's webmaster guidelines means that clean URLs are important: "If you decide to use dynamic pages (URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few. This style of URLS can be hard to read and can prevent search engine indexing. If you want to avoid these types of URLs styles, you can use "Clean URL" feature of the Drupal. This will eliminate "?q=" from the URLs and will generate the clean URL.

Clean URL use the "mod_rewrite" feature of the Apache server which allow us to create a rules for rewriting the URLS for the all pages of the website.

Enabling clean url:
By default, when we install the Drupal, it check for compatibility with Clean URLs. If enviornment is found as compatible with Clean URLs, it will enable during the installation process. If we need to enable Clean URL after installation, we can manage this through admin section
1. Go to Configuration >> Search and Meta Data >> Clean URLs

2. Check the checkbox "Enable clean URLs" if this is not checked.
3. Click Save Configuration button in order to save your entry.



European SQL Server 2014 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Drop All Tables and Their Content, Views and Stored Procedures in MS SQL

clock September 17, 2014 09:32 by author Peter

Sometimes you may face a case where you want to completely remove all tables, views & stored procedures in a MS SQL 2014 database without removing the system views, system tables,  and system stored procedures or without having to delete the database as a whole and recreating it.

You can right-click on each table one by one and try to delete them, only to find out that a foreign key constraint prevents you from doing so, at which time you have to try and figure out how each table relates to the other, and remove them in the correct sequence. If you have a few hundred or even thousand database objects this could take a long time! Finally, We found the solution. The script below will take care of this for you in one shot and give you a clean database to work with.

/* Drop all non-system stored procs */

European Reporting Services 2008 Hosting :: How to Troubleshoot The Timeout Error in MS SQL Reporting Services

clock August 18, 2014 06:27 by author Onit

This article will guide you how to solve timeout error in MSSQL Reporting Service. This error happened in SSRS 2008 R2 you may got error such System.Web.HttpException:Maximum request length Exceeded, so in this article I will show you the steps to solved this kind of error.


Well  I’ve found this error while trying to deploy the project:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. —> System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded.    at System.Web.HttpRequest.GetEntireRawContent()    at System.Web.HttpRequest.get_InputStream()    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize()    — End of inner exception stack trace —    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapServerProtocol.Initialize()    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocol.SetContext(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response)    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.ServerProtocolFactory.Create(Type type, HttpContext context, HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, Boolean& abortProcessing)

What makes this error?

This error caused by exist a property MaxRequestLength under the httpRuntime elementin the file web.config (ssrs folder\Reporting Services\ReportServer) its default value is 4096 Kb only 4Mb) it makes reporting services cannot upload a report successfully while the report size is higher than this value.

How to solve this error?

  1. Go to Example-> (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER*\Reporting Services\ReportServer) (*your SSRS installation folder)
  2. Open web.config file
  3. On that file change the line
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout=”9000″/>
    To
    <httpRuntime executionTimeout=”9000″ maxRequestLength = “16384” />

By default, the property maxRequestLength doesn’t exist in the config file and the default value is 4096 KB so you have to increase that value. In example above I am increasing the value to 16384 KB.
