By default, SQL Server
listens on the well known port 1433. However, SQL Server can be configured
to listen on a different port. Certify can connect to SQL Server on the port where SQL
Server is listening if it is not 1433.
For example, if the SQL Server is configured to listen on port 1444
instead of 1433. When I tried to connect with Certify it failed. I
then modified my configuration file. I changed my database server entry
from
<add key="DATABASESERVER"
value="localhost" />
to
<add key="DATABASESERVER"
value="localhost,1444" />
