Error when configuring Workflow Server: The connection was not completely successful

asked on January 27, 2014

I am trying to install the Workflow Server a separate machine than the LF Server. The Workflow database, however, is installed on the LF SQL server (separate DB). When configuring the DB connection (MS SQL Express), I get to the last step and hit Finish. Then, it says "The Connection Was Not Completely Successful. View Log File?" I click yes, and the very last line of the log says:

 

The following error occurred while testing the Workflow Server's connection to the database. Check the Windows Event Viewer for more information. Connection to the Workflow Server 'localhost' could not be created.

 

The event viewer lists no errors. I am using port 8085 for the Workflow Server. I can see it has created the workflow database and associated tables. If I click No to view the log file, it just goes back to the final Completing Configuration screen and never lets me finish.

 

Any ideas?

As for the event not showing in Event Viewer. If other events are coming over properly you might want to contact support about that. It could also be just a generic message that was written for all errors (even ones that are not written to Event Viewer).

 

What is the account you are using to connect to the Workflow Server, it is the first question in the connection wizard. It should be a local administrator of the server running the Workflow Server service.

I'm using the Local System account

I bet that is the problem. Try using a local account on the server that the service is running on. One that is in the local administrators group. You may even need to run the service as the same account but not sure.
