Hi first time trying to install dnn on windows sbs2003 and sql server 2005 with sp1. I have followed all the steps and in the wizard when I test datbase connection, I keep getting a named pipes error. I have turned on named pipes in sql. Can someone please post what a correct web.config show should look like for installing on sql server 2005. I believe I need to comment out the sql express code but I dont know how to. thanks. The server name is server user name is user and password is password.

Here you go. Note that you can definitely just remove the comments (green) and only include the two connection strings.

   1:    <connectionStrings>
   2:      <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express 
   3:          <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNuke.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
   4:      -->
   5:      <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
   6:      <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=server;Database=dbName;uid=user;pwd=password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   7:    </connectionStrings>
   8:    <appSettings>
   9:      <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules 
  10:      <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNuke.mdf;"/>
  11:          -->
  12:      <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules     -->
  13:      <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=server;Database=dbName;uid=user;pwd=password;" />

Hope it helps,

It looks like that closing comment tag on line 28 is what it's actually complaining about.  Take that out and let me know if that's any better.
