Hello, I downloaded SQL Server Express 2014 with tools from Microsoft site. I did the installation but when I will start the error
Error description:

Cannot connect to willian.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Verifique se o nome da instância está correto e se o SQL Server está configurado para permitir conexões remotas.

I’ve searched a few places but I can’t find anything that’ll fix it, and I’ve tried reinstalling
Is the SQL Server service running? If so, are you sure that the instance is called Willian?
– cantoni
Apparently the service is running yes. So how do I check the instance? I never used SQL Server I just installed nothing changed
– WSS
@cartoni I entered the CMD typed SQLCMD -L to discover the instance and only have one even with my name WILLIAN
– WSS
Open the command prompt and run: SQLCMD -L
– cantoni
It’s actually running on your machine, right? If yes, it is all very strange, but you could check if there is something blocking firewall, although I find it difficult, since it comes to localhost.
– cantoni
Yes on my machine. Is it the service then? It has to appear something like SQLWILLIAN ?
– WSS
Only the SQLCMD -L having returned the WILLIAN instance is a sign that the service is running. But you can check, go to Task Manager and look for a process that is called sqlservr.exe.
– cantoni
It’s there seemingly normal, wow
– WSS
Last tip: exchange WILLIAN for localhost (or your computer name). Furthermore, the most I can help you is to link to this document: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2102.how-to-troubleshoot-connecting-to-the-sql-server-database-engine.aspx

Did not change anything, continues the error. But saw I will give a search here. Anyway thanks @cartoni
