Hi
I have a webapplication connected to SQL Server 2012 Web Edition.
As soon as the webserver is down I start a second webserver, which needs to have the same content, also on SQL DB level.
That’s why I take a backup of the SQL Server on the first server recovering it to the second server. This works fine.
The database name as well as the database user name are the same on both SQL servers. This database user has owner rights on database level. The configuration does not change, during recovery process on the target server, which overwrites the earlier content state of the db.
For any reason the webapplication cannot connect to the database afterwards. Of course the contents of the html files in the IIS webfolders are identical on both servers.
The application connects via IP address 127.0.0.1 (not server name), database name, database user and password, all these parts have also been initially set on both servers in the same way.
It seems, that the two databases still have a slight difference.
Your input is welcome.
