FailDBConn after installation

[jim.bronson]

I installed the latest 10.x on a new server, and also copied my databases to a new database server. I told it to use Windows Authentication during install to connect to SQL, assuming it would use the logged in Windows account. But after installation completed I cannot connect to any of the databases, getting FailDbConn at the login page. I checked the connection strings in the Web.config and they are clearly encrypted and live somewhere else. I suppose I could just put them in plain text in web.config but that seems like a bad idea. Where do I go to change these SQL login credentials?

Hi Jim,

This sounds like a possible configuration problem with the install. When moving Vault to a new server, you need to restore your Vault databases before you install the Vault Server. Can you please confirm you performed the following:

You may simply need to uninstall your Vault Server (specifying to keep the database when prompted) and reinstall the server.

Thanks,

I did move (copy) the databases first. I think maybe what happened is I chose the wrong IIS process model. I saw that in another thread you needed to use a domain account. I looked at the app pools and saw I could change them to a domain account, but I think you're right a reinstall would be best.

It's working! But now I have another problem. Says I need a license upgrade, "Error Upgrade Required". The old server was running 9.x.

Glad to hear you have been able to move forward. I noticed that you emailed SourceGear in regards to your license key issue, so I will reply via email.

Thanks,
