Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup gitea in Windows 7 using a MSSQL (Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP3) Developer Edition) database.

During Initial Configuration of Gitea I hit “The database settings are invalid: Login error: read tcp xxx.xx.x.xx:52449-\>xxx.xx.x.xxx:1433: wsarecv: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.” error.

How to fix this error?
