Hello,
Earlier, the new server had two SQL Server instances installed: SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2019. As per your request, we have now completely removed SQL Server 2014 and retained only SQL Server 2019.
During this process, we identified that some ports were still bound to the older SQL Server 2014 instance, which caused localhost connection failures.
Actions Completed
Fully removed SQL Server 2014
Reconfigured SQL Server 2019 as the default instance
Corrected port bindings to ensure proper connectivity
Connection Details
All localhost connections will now connect to SQL Server 2019
No changes are required for connection strings using:
localhost
Important Note
If any application is explicitly using port 1434, it will need to:
Remove the port specification, or
Update it to port 1433 (default SQL Server port)
Since SQL Server is now configured on the default port (1433), explicitly specifying a port is no longer necessary.
Please let us know if you face any connectivity issues or need assistance verifying application connections.
