Starter kids - Errors
I have installed "Charity kit" on our test server and created a sandbox on sitefinity.com. If I want to edit in the "petecsb.sandbox.sitefinity.com/contact-us" I get errors on both servers. What is wrong?
I am interested in knowing how Microsoft Maps are implemented in the solution.
Sincerely, Peter

I double-checked that the .mdf file is where the application is looking. Still not working. Any ideas.
I was going to attach it to my SQL Server but it seems that the version of the .mdf is higher and hence can not be attached.
Let me know,
Andrei
Hello Andrei,
"An error occurred when establishing a connection to the server" - this error is thrown because your SQL server is not accessible - remote connections are not allowed, TCP protocol is not enabled or the SQL service is down. You may find this link useful An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. Check this post as well.
Ivan,
Thank you very much. In the end I have upgraded my SQL Express instance to R2 and attached the database to it. It is working fine now.
Many thanks,
Andrei
Ivan,
The next challenge is logging into the admin area. I did not know what users there are already in the Education Starter Kit. Could not find any documentation anywhere. So I went to the Users table in the database and changed the password formats and changed the passwords. Still can not enter the website.
Any ideas?
Andrei
Hi Andrei and Peter,
The credentials are as follow:
Username: admin
Password: password
We will make sure to include the credentials in the logging page so that there is no confusion.
Peter, would you send us a support message with the credentials of your sandbox so that we can check where the problem is? You have changed your default password and I cannot login into your sandbox in order to resolve the issue.
Thank you for contacting us and we look forward to receiving more of your feedback!
Kind regards,
Hristo Borisov
