I installed SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server Manager to interact with the database.
I logged in locally, saw db master
. I disconnected (I don’t remember if I restarted the machine) but I went in again giving this error. Someone knows how to solve?
Cannot connect to MATRIX SQLSERVER.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Instance-specific or network error when connecting to SQL Server. The server was not found or not accessible. Check that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (Preview: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Server Locate Error/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

Check in SQL Server Configuration Manager. It is an icon of a red case that should be in your start menu.
