Error: Check that the server is running and connected to the SharePoint farm

Question

I'm trying to debug my custom SharePoint page but I'm getting the following error:

Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': The local SharePoint server is not available. Check that the server is runing and connected to the SharePoint farm.

I don't know what's causing this error.

What might be the solution to this problem?

Answer 1

For this issue you need to give db_owner permissions to the account which you are using to deploy the custom SharePoint solution for all the SharePoint related databases.

Follow the below steps to assign the permission:

Open the DataBase, expand Security -> Logins -> right click on the account and go to properties. Then in the properties window, click on User Mappings from the left side. Then you can select the database and select the permission as db_owner as shown in the fig below and click on OK.
