Hi,
I successfully installed and configured MS SQL 2012 for SharePoint Server 2013. I created a database using SQL Management Tools and added a login user SP_Admin with dbcreator, sysadmin and security admin rights. I logged in to the SharePoint Server to installed and configure SharePoint with the credentialSP_admin but when i run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard and it reaches the Specify Configuration Database Security Settings and after I enter the required info I keep getting the following error:
Cannot connect to database master at SQL server at sqlservername. The database might not exist, or the currentuser does not have permission to connect to it.
I tried deleting SP_admin from the SQL Login and added it back, retype the password in the service.msc for SQLSERVER and SQL SERVER AGENT, creaed an inbound rule for port 1433, I even restarted the SQL services but it's still giving me the above error.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
