SCA: Could not connect to locathost

I’m getting the “Could not connect to localhost” error while trying to setup SCA. I have tried with loopback, IP address and hostname as well. But it doesn;t work. I’m not sure, where i’m making mistake. If anyone has come across same issue, please help me out.

Thanks!

Do you already have SQL Server installed and configured?

And is it enabled for TCP/IP connections? This is not enabled in SQL, by default.

Yes SQL is installed.

I enabled TCP/IP connections. You’re right it is not enabled by default. However I noticed, I don’t see port 1433 listening from netstat -an command. But in the properties of SQL server it is listening to 1433.
