Hello all

I am attempting a fresh install of v3.3.4 and when trying to get the install to run, I get the following error  "Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 03.03.04
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider"

This is my SqlDataProvider String:

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=afe-srv01;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=kmachula;pwd=password;" />

I am using the name of the server as well as the name of the database which I created in SQL2000

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am not entirely sure what you mean by that. I checked which user is running the .NET service and that is "NetworkService" so I gave that user rights on the database. I have a feeling this is not what you meant though.

I did give the user dho rights. and I have also checked and rechecked the password a few hundred times.

The SQL server is on the same machine that I'm installing DNN on so a firewall wouldn't matter.

I honestly can't remember how the SQL server was installed as it was installed by an accounting software firm. I will try adding in the trusted connection bit and see if that helps.

I have not made any test pages as I honestly have no idea how to do it. I am what we call webpage retarded. Basically I need to install DNN so that a paid web developer can login and make my client a website. Times like this really makes me wish I had more knowledge on this subject though.

Btw, I really do appreciate all the ideas and suggestions you've thrown my way. Thanks :)
