Help :-(

I am trying to add a photogallery module.  The install was successful, but now i am getting the following error message in the extensions for media:

 

Error: Media is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: connectionString ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: connectionString at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(String connectionString, String spName, Object[] parameterValues) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.SqlDataProvider.GetMedia(Int32 moduleId) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaController.GetMedia(Int32 moduleID) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaModule.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

The DNN media module uses the legacy connection string found under the appSettings section of the site's web.config rather than the primary connection string found under the connectionStrings section.

Make sure that the value used for the value attribute for the SiteSqlServer key in the appSettings section matches that used for the connectionString attribute of the primary connection string... For example, YYYYYYYY must match XXXXXXX

<connectionStrings>
        <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="XXXXXXX"  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

<appSettings>
     <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="YYYYYYY" />
   . . .
</appSettings>
