Thank you Erik :-)
You are my hero :))
I have decided to stay with my SQL 2000
I took the release.config after the ver 4.x upgrade and updated the following tags as below:
********************************
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User
Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=drori;Database=ctware;uid=ctware;pwd=ctware;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
-->
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User
Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=drori;Database=ctware;uid=ctware;pwd=ctware;"/>
<add key="MachineValidationKey" value="DC4B39ECC39F242CAB3F2E12074F96AC387BFCA5" />
<add key="MachineDecryptionKey" value="B372C9427F1C8DE249A6AA0C1DD670884634D280F9848E9C" />
-->
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
<add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="true"/>
<add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
<add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
<add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
<add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
<add key="HostHeader" value="" />
<!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as
"www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
<add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false" />
<!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
<add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0" />
<!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->
<!-- set UsePortNumber to true to preserve the port number if you're using a port number other than 80 (the
standard)
<add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" /> -->
</appSettings>
***********************************************************
Somehow it is still not working :-(
The default.aspx page display the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
What should i do? Did i forgot something? (i switched to framework 2 in the IIS section as recomended)
