(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Muratvzr 743

I have this problem earlier in 2017 and now its still occuring. 

I am installing NAV  2018 on my computer my computer name is MVEZIR2 my host operating system locale and all language settings are based on Turkish settigs. Everthing works fine but when I try to open page on Development envoirement. It says there is no working instance for this  database. 

and it collects wrong server name. It thinks my server name is mvezır2 on lower case, but it has to be mvezir2, I change it from server instance table but every time service restarts, It re change it.

    Dear Friends,

    Thank you very  much for your reply, yes i can use ip address for this server name property but it's not classy. I found a solution and I would like to share.

    I wrote and update and insert trigger on Server Instance table which is always update wrong turkish characters to right ones.

    Sorry for late response. Not too well understood the problem with the symbols in Turkish language but you can also use the IP address or localhost if you’re working on a local machine. You can also recreate the server instance with a new name.

    Hi Murat,

    Instead of server name, Can;t we use IP address ?

    Dear Stefano,

    Turkish Accent we have additional letters and its confusing server. Now  let me try to explain it with an sample

    First you should know we have a letter the sibbling of "i" characther but it hasn't got a point on it.  Now

    in english language the lower case "i" turns to "I"  but in Turkish code page lower case "i" is turns on to "İ"  so now in my example

    My server name is MVEZIR2 in UPPERCASE

    Windows code page is turning it to mvezir2 in lowercase

    But now server is turning it to mvezır2 in lower case and windows and all services is not responding this call

    This is what is written on my database info page mvezır2.pronic.org:7046/mvnav

    This is what should be  mvezir2.pronic.org:7046/mvnav

    And i cant modify it on any config file it gets automaticy on every server restart.

    I don't think the problem is related to case sensitivity. Do you receive this error when you run a page from Dev Environment? Try to open Dev Environment, go to File --> Database --> Information and verify to have a value in the Server Instance field.
