Hi,

I'm installing DNN on a W2003 server (for development purpuses).
The database server (SQL2000) resides on another W2k3 (SBS) server which acts as a domain controller, but only controls itself. This is because of the preinstalled SBS. This server also has a running DNN-webserver without any problems, but thats 100% locally.

Now I'm trying to access the newly created DB on the SQL-server during the installation of DNN, but I keep on slamming into the

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

It's DNN version 3.3.4 altough that seems trivial to me.

The problem seems to me is that the worker-process on the new dev-dnn-server uses the NETWORK SERVICE credentials which are not recognised by the SQL-server so network access to the SQL-server is denied. Now how to solve it is above my knowledge level.

I've tried running the IIS application pool under the credentials of an user that's known to the SQL-server AND  the dev-server, but then i get a 'service unavailable' error in my browser.

Any takers? TIA!

did you check whether your connectionstring is ok? What kind of authentication are you using for your SQL server. Mixed authentication would be best, make sure you created a useraccount for your db, and specify that user in your connection string. Also make sure that your sql server accepts incoming connections (make user TCP/IP is enabled in the sql server communication configuration). Also make sure you do not have an active firewall blocking incoming connections on the SQL server tcp port (usually 1433)

Yes. Using the connection string on a locally running dnn installation works. Also using the string on the dev server in a dev-application works. The sql-server is using mixed authentication. the user account is created and has access to the db (verified).

There's no firewall blocking: The TCP/IP network access was disabled! Enabling it did the trick!

Thanks Eric!
