Whilst trying to perfoem a clean install of the Kiln Server on a windows 2012 server,there are a few issues that I've come accross. First I've had to install all the pre-requsites manually as detailed here: http://help.fogcreek.com/8427/installing-kiln-for-your-server-without-internet-access Our current setup requires that the sql server reside on a different machine to the one where Kiln is to be installed so when I run the installer there is a screen that asks to enter the sql server name. enter image description here It appears that Kiln can find the instance but I get an error saying the current domain user doesn't have admin rights to make changes on the database. I may be missing something here, but I thought to put this question up, perhaps someone else has encountered it ?

Perhaps the domain user running the kiln installer also needs to have admin rights on the sql server box as in point number 3 here: http://help.fogcreek.com/8253/installing-kiln-for-your-server Is there something I may be missing out ?

  • not really a programming question – Jeremy Sep 11 '15 at 12:32
  • erm , I knew it wasnt a programming question before I put it up. Is stackoverflow specifically for 'programming questions ? I thought the reason why i tagged the question with the appropriate tags was to make it quite obvious ? Thanks for your help anyway. – lacoder Sep 11 '15 at 14:07
  • and just to clarify ... help me here ... is this a programming question? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20507697/error-installing-sql-server-2012-entreprise-edition – lacoder Sep 11 '15 at 14:10
  • http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic In general mostly programming. Since I'd venture the vast majority of users here haven't setup FogBugz, you'd find better support on fogbugz forums. If you do get an error from SQL Server, type the error message EXACTLY into google, and you'll find hundreds of ways to solve your problem. – Jeremy Sep 11 '15 at 15:48
  • Again , Thanks for your comment. I've literally read pretty much all the fogbugz documentation on their website before I decided to post it here.Understand that this was more or less to try and see if anyone else has had the current problem that I'm having. Perhaps a better explanation would have been better than to vote down my question surely? I don't think we should assume that we know all about what issues others may have until we actually know ?Anyhow , thanks for replying back. – lacoder Sep 11 '15 at 17:55
  • did you install sql server yourself manually on the other server? – Jeremy Sep 11 '15 at 18:19
  • As it turned out, I was able to fix the issue by adding the IIS 6 metabase compatibility feature to the windows server 2012 machine.The fogbugz installer needed this feature in order to proceed with the installation.This is one of those things that may not be obvious if indeed this is a first time install.Although the installer was able to connect to the database, it couldn't proceed with the IIS configuration steps which is why I kept getting an error. – lacoder Sep 13 '15 at 00:48
  • hey, that would have been my second guess! :) – Jeremy Sep 13 '15 at 19:33
