Hi all,

I am a total newb on using .net stuff. I have installed IIS 6 ans SQL server 2005 express. And now I am trying to install DotNetNuke, but I can't figure it out.

I have created a new Virtual Directory in IIS en an new database, called DotNetNuke, in SQL server.

And now I am trying to configure the web.config file. I have put

<connectionStrings>   
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNuke.mdf;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />  
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>  
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNuke.mdf;"/>   
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
    <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
    <add key="HostHeader" value="" /><!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
    <add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false" /><!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
    <add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0" /><!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->
  </appSettings>

But when I go to the install page, I get the error "Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider"

The database is configured for using the mixed authentication, not only windows.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to specify the username/password somewhere?

Can somebody help me, please?

Thank you
