  • I have been trying to run kestrel in Visual Studio, and then I got this message:

System.AggregateException: 'One or more errors occurred. (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: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Error occurred during LocalDB instance startup: SQL Server process failed to start.

))'

  • Then, I checked if the SQL is running in the services, and I only have SQL Server VSS Writer (which is running).
  • So, then I installed SQL Server 2019, and I got the error of unable to install SQL server.
  • So, I went to the logs, and I have this message:

There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO.

What should I do to fix this bug? I have lost two days of work because I just cannot run the backend because one issue brings another issue. It is like a snowball that just keeps growing.

Can someone help me? I would be very very very grateful.

Thank you

    There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO.
