title: IIS7 Connection to SQL 2008 not working
body: <p>Having trouble getting my local IIS7 running C # MVC app to connect to a newly installed Sql 2008. IT was working wiht SQL Express, but we upgraded every machine to full SQL. Now, just my machine, will not connect to SQL 2008.</p>
  
  <p>Followed many websites info, fooled wiht the user account both in IIS7 and SQL2008. Setting permissions to the DB's with db_owner(actually selected every permission) just not connecting.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed the w3wp.exe service is not running. Not sure if that is the issue or if it was even running before.</p>
  
  <p>Messed with the and tried all the sugeestions and  tutorials out there that had to do with
  Application pools are running, their set to the proper settings 
  IIs Account NetorkServices
  Sql NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
  created users for IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0</p>
  
  <p>When i check the sql logs there is no sign of it even trying to connect. The only message i get is when i restart IIs. Just says starting and stopping.</p>
  
  <p>Been thru this before when i first tried to connect to SQL express, and was not this hard, and i did not touch anything in IIs when i installed sql 2008. So it should have connected.</p>
  
  <p>Any other suggestions out there?</p>
