Error 3355 Cannot connect to SQL Server. SQL Server not found.

Problem:
I ran into this issue due to a SQL being configured on a port other than 1433.
The configuration wizard kept failing with this error and this was even after
I had specified the correct path in the wizard to the SQL server.

Solution:
What was missing was the SQL alias on the WFE.
How do you get this?

1.) Open command prompt as administrator
2.) Type cliconfg
3.) Add server alias.
