Trying to install DNN 5.06.00 onto a local server running asp.net 2.0 and sql express 2005 and am having problems.
Have been following
this tutorial but it isn't working properly.
The install.aspx loading screen gets to about half way through and then grinds to a halt.
I suspect my connection strings are wrong but can't work out what.
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 Express -->
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=IBSWEB\SQLEXPRESS;Database=mdhablog_directcms;uid=mdhablog_directcms;pwd=P9mJcTAa;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
-->
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=IBSWEB\SQLEXPRESS;Database=mdhablog_directcms;uid=mdhablog_directcms;pwd=P9mJcTAa;"/>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>
-->
Is what i'm using.
All the folder permissons/server permissions and passwords etc seem to be right(although im not sure if the "IBSWEB\SQLEXPRESS" needs the \sqlexpress on the end or not).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really annoying me.
