Odd . . . your web.config seems to be missing the entire <connectionStrings> node which should be just prior to the <appSettings> node.  Here's the standard one from release.config:

<connectionStrings>
    <!--
Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add
       
name="SiteSqlServer"
       
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
       
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

   <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
    <add
        name="SiteSqlServer"
        connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   
-->
</connectionStrings>

Note that the connection string for SQL Server 2000/2005 is commented out.  Based on your value of the SqlSiteServer attribute under <appSettings>, you'll need to uncomment the connection string for SQL Server 2000/2005, change its value to the same as you have under the <appSettings> node, and comment out the connection string for SQL Server 2005 Express. The result should look like this:

<connectionStrings>
    <!--
Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express

    <add
        name="SiteSqlServer
"
        connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;
"
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/> -->
    <!--
Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
    <
add
       
name="SiteSqlServer"
        connectionString="Server=supersql02.infoquest.com;Database=dbName;uid=xxxxx;pwd=xxxxxx;"
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</
connectionStrings>

Thanks for the info. However, I am installing 3.03.05 since my host is using .Net & ASP 1.1. It seems to only need the <appSettings> string. Is that correct?

Here is the most recent error after tweaking:

DotNetNuke Configuration Error

Could not find a part of the path "e:\ojfsda.org\wwwroot\ojfsda2\Config\Backup_20061121759\web_.config".

DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application is able to create and remove files in your website.

Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website ( C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you may need to Enable Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.

If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
- the {Server}\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website

If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website
