2.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

how do i fix this

Hello,

There are two types of installation of NopCommerce as described on the web site:

1. Automatic with the installation wizzard.
2. Manual - editing the connection string of the ConnectionStrings.config file. It is on root level of the web site.

Even without these permissions you can edit and publish the ConnectionStrings.config before the final step of the wizard. You should know your SQL database. It looks like this:
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="NopSqlConnection" connectionString="Data Source=putTheNameOfYourServerHere;Initial Catalog=NameOfYourDatabase;Integrated Security=False;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=YourUserID;Password=YourPassword;Connect Timeout=120"/>
</connectionStrings>


There is one more place it will be good to look for additional settings you may need to configure:

This should solve your installation problems - it worked for me.

well see i do not know miscrosoft sql i could use mysql but i do not think this program lets you use mysql now is there a step by step guide some where from start to end

Hi,

If you follow the install instructions you should be fine.

You only need to know a little ms sql to get you by. If you download the nosource version of nopcommerce you will be able to run the install page. follow this link for install video: https://www.nopcommerce.com/Screencasts/Installation.aspx

If you do not want to do that, there is sql scripts you can run and if you provide a connection string to your connectionstrings.config to get it to work (as previously posted).

There is no support for mysql.

mike..

I have tried the link to watch the video and cannot get it to come up. I have tried IE and Firefox. Is it having problems?

Thanks

Video runs fine from here.

IE8, Win7 Ultimate

Common problem.  If you cant watch the video, you likely have issues with your flash player.  Uninstall the flash player from your control panel, then go to the adobe site and download the latest version.  Here is the link http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing v2.2... so many errors...
I also tried to run the video mentioned above, it failed to run, IDLed the Falsh update from Adobe still no luck.

Anyone know how to install 2.2?

found solution to my issue... install MVC 3.0

Yep, that seemed to get me all fixed up as well. I posted all the steps here with download files and all. Long story short make sure your framework is completely up to date.
