I have installed Sharepoint 2013 and SQL 2012 express. I am testing it out and chose this version as opposed to the development option.
I am able to access sites that I create in sharepoint designer, but none of the site collections are showing under the "open sharepoint site" area. I also noticed that when I run SQL management studio and drill down to databases > WSS_Content, I do not see dbo.sites or dbo.webs.
When I go to central administration and check content databases, it shows 3 and the status shows started, but when I try to enter in the address manually, it says that the webpage cannot be found. Subsites are accessible this way though. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
