As it says "SQL Server does not exist" check that the SQL server does exist and its running, server may exist but the MSSQLSERVER service may be stopped. it’s also worth checking the login contributor is using exists, is not locked out and all the passwords are correct

Also make sure that its actually pointing at the server you think it is, especially if you’ve just migrated it from a dev to a live environment. I've done that one before spent ages trying to work it out then someone said have you changed it from the dev to the live server.

Good luck
