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.
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.
