I'm at the Configure Database Connection page using the DNN wizard set-up.  My SQL Server Express server name is bos-078f2a0\sqlexpress which I open with intergrated security when opening SQL Server Express.  I have created a new login within sql server  security, setting user id and password (dnnuser and password ) as stated in the dnn set-up document.  My database name within SQL Server is Dotnetnuke, but the database within the Dotnetnuke folder under App_Data is named Database.  When I get to the Configure Database page within the wizard I'm unsure what names to use for the Server name, Filename, and what type of security to use.  When I attempt to configure the db I get errors failed to generate user instance of sql server or failed login.  Any suggestion on solving this situation.

Thanks,

Wbosw

either use integrated security and "<local machine>\Network Service" as SQL server user or SQL security and create a custom user of the SQL Server.

The user needs to be mapped to the DNN database and granted dbOwner permission. Use SQL2000/2005 type of connection string.

Below is the connection string that I am using.  I have mapped the DNN db and granted dbOwner permissions.  I am setting the

server name = BOSWELL-078F2A0\SQLEXPRESS

Database name = Database.mdf

I have integrated security unchecked and setting the

User ID = dnnuser

Password = raymond1

I have Run as db owner checked

I left Object Qualifer blank

<connectionStrings>


  <!--

  <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=BOSWELL-078F2A0\SQLEXPRESS;
Database=DotNetNuke;
uid=dnnuser
;pwd=raymond1;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  
 </connectionStrings>
 <appSettings>

  <!--

   -->
   
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=BOSWELL-078F2A0\SQLEXPRESS;
Database=DotNetNuke;
uid=dnnuser;

pwd=raymond1;"/>

 

I receive the error message Login failed for user dnnuser. the user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.

 

I then tried checking the checkbox for Intergrated Security and receive the error message

Cannot open database Database.mdf requested by the login. The login failed for user Boswell-078F2A0ASPNET.

 

I changed the Database name to Dotnetnuke.mdf and receive the serror.  Cannot open database Dotnetnuke.mdf requested by the login. The login failed for user Boswell-078F2A0ASPNET

Any Suggestions

Thanks,

Wbosw
