I have a setup where the connection string of my .NET application is configured at the app service level and the database used in it is present in an Azure SQL VM
I see the following error, while accessing my Web APIs in the app service
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - Access is denied.
However, I’m able to connect to the database directly on my local system using SSMS with my organisation’s VPN
I’m struggling to find the right resource, appreciate if you someone can help me with steps to fix it
i just have the beginner level knowledge on Azure platform
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment I got the same error like below.
To resolve this issue i have removed private access and tried and then added new private access its work successfully.
Check the public access in selected network with firewall rule and allow exception as below.
And, when I remove this private endpoint and try to add new private access i can able to connect with my sql server.
Check this connectivity as below.
My azuresql,database server connected successfully.
Note: This error may occur in multiple ways if are not enable sql services and in tcp/Ip If any of the protocols are disabled or if Remote Connection Permission is disable error may occur for this please refer the below documents.

I'm using Azure Functions with .NET 6 on an S1-tier App Service Plan with regional VNET integration. In our scenario, we execute some SQL queries accessing an On-Prem database which works pretty fine at the first glance. Unfortunately, sometimes the virtual network connection seems to break and our queries run into following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.) An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the function from VNET, it starts working again as expected (I found this approach here)
But it seems like this is just a really poor workaround. Does anybody know how to fix this indefinitely? I've already tried creating a new function app but that didn't change anything.
• According to the error that you are encountering, there might be some issues with the Firewall in the on-premises environment or the TCP/IP connection being established. Thus, I would suggest you to please check all the issues mentioned in the documentation link below and verify whether all the instances of practices mentioned in it are followed correctly: -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/connect/network-related-or-instance-specific-error-occurred-while-establishing-connection
• Secondly, I would suggest you to please check the SQL Browser Service in the on-premises SQL Database server and check whether ‘UDP port 1434’ is whitelisted for communication between the two environments or not along with TCP 1434. Also, when executing SQL queries to access the on-premises SQL DB, ensure that the instance name is input correctly along with the port number. Also, when mentioning the port number, ensure that it is preceded by ‘,’ and not ‘:’.
• Finally, I would suggest you enable diagnostic logging for an app service plan by referring to the below documentation link that will help you figure out the reason for your connection error to the SQL DB. Also, you can browse through the Kudu console by accessing the url:- https://****.scm.azurewebsites.net/ (enter your website name instead of ****). You should be able to find the log files under the debug console. Please check if there are any failure logs: -

Note: - Please check whether your API URL connection string used in the function app is being replaced correctly and troubleshoot your connection variables thoroughly.
I am hosting a bunch of micro-services and bot apps using Docker, and Azure virtual machines. There´s also a dockerized SQL Server 2017 instance in the stack, which I would like to migrate to Azure SQL. I am out of luck when trying to configure the source database in an Azure Database Migration project...
I tried to specify the service endpoint including the exposed port (since the dockerized SQL Server container´s public port is not 1433). I can connect to the SQL Server instance using SSMS from my workstation with no error, so connectivity is not the problem at all; does the Azure Database Migration require port 1433, or if not, how can I correctly specify a different port?
These are the error details I got from source details configuration in the Azure portal:
Error Type
Failed to connect, please check error details
Error Detail
Collector 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Advisor.SqlQueries.Contracts.Models.IQueryServerProperties' failed to collect data. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
The parameter is incorrect
The source database configuration wizard is not very clear about the format of the remote server´s DNS name. Just specifying the fully qualified DNS name and port is not enough; it must contain the server´s instance name as well.
Wrong:
<DNS-name>,<port>
Correct:
<DNS-name>\<INSTANCENAME>,<port>
I am trying to set up a new azure website. I have done this before and everything just worked, this time I'm having real trouble getting the database set up.
I setup both site and database in the deploy wizard, and have a connection string named the same as on my local box. The error I'm getting is below:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL
Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance
Specified)
If i copy paste the connection string from azure to my local box (and add my local ip to the whitelist for SqlAzure) then it works fine locally (which is why I'm a little stumped)
The only thing that that I have noticed is that if I download the web.config for the site as configured in azure there are no connection strings. I imagine that this is because they are doing some clever security thing.
Any idea what I can even try next to diagnose this?
My azure application successfully running with azure sql database,but now i want to run Cloud application with my own database servers because of their data security. for this, we can establish the local database connection from our own systems with cloud application and connect to my database perfectly with following steps using below link,
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/261063/Azure-Virtual-Network-Connecting-Local-Database
After this i deployed my application in to azure and it deployed without any error.but when i try to run my cloud application using cloud url like xxx.cloudapp.net getting an error like
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.)".
Please give some suggestions why am getting this error.
Thanks,

Try connecting using SQL Management from another machine outside of your network. I believe that there is no problem with publication in Azure Cloud Service, but a connectivity problem with your SQL server.

You have to remote to VM and check SQL Server port is opened or not, the same with SQL Server machine. I used to connect local DB with cloud based application.
This is an intermittent issue with the SQL Server.

I'm following the Connecting Apps with Windows Azure Connect lab in the Azure Training Kit.
I've followed the instructions to set up the Groups and Roles, and the Activated EndPoints.
I've updated the SQL Express settings and restarted the service
I've installed the local endpoint, which gives the following text.
I've added a new Windows Firewall rule
This endpoint is configured to
connect, and can connect to other
resources in Windows Azure Connect.
I still get this error displayed in the browser.
Sorry, an error occurred while
processing your request.
Message: The underlying provider

Any ideas on why this might be or suggestions on finding out where it is failing?
Thanks.
Update
I found this link "Windows Azure Connect and Symantec Endpoint Protection" describing a similar problem; as the title suggests Symantec EndPoint Protection could be the problem.
Although in this case, removing Symantec did not fix the problem

I had the exact same issue, Symantec et al. I was able to resolve it by adding the .cer certs I used in the Azure portal for the Hosted Services -> Management Certificates to my personal certificates collection via MMC and then rebooting my computer.
Hope that helps.
If you’re receiving a message like that, it’s possible that your current location has an outgoing port blocked.
