    Install Umbraco Configure your database

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Recently upgraded to Windows 10 and upgraded to Visual Studio 2015. When I installed Umbraco previously on windows 8 with VS2013 I would choose: Database type : Microsoft SQL Server Server: Localdb\v11.0 Database name : genericdatabasename Use integrated authentication.

    However, with the upgrade to Windows 10 and VS2015, we are now using (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB. I can connect to this fine with SQL Server Management Studio and I have been developing MVC apps using this connection.

    When following this step I simply, I click continue, Umbraco goes on hold for about a minute trying to establish a connection followed by the error: 'Could not connect to database'.

    I've also tried using v12\ this is also not working.

    Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

    Cheers

    Nevermind - it seems creating the database using SQL Management Studio and connecting to it works fine. Pretty sure Umbraco used to dynamically create databases though
