I have installed DNN 4.4.1 today using the starterkit.vsi method.

It went ok, I logged on as admin on the server and changed a few pages around and got a feel for things in general.

I tried to connect to the remote server from my pc and I got an error message which is included below in full ...

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DotNetNuke Upgrade Error

The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )

ERROR: Could not connect to database.

Unable to open the physical file "E:\intranet_nuke01\App_Data\Database.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)". An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:\intranet_nuke01\App_Data\Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure why it thinks there is an 'upgrade' error as it was a fresh install on a server that was built from scratch today, there are no previous copies of DNN installed and no other apps running than those that need to be.

I am stumped?

I also noticed that I can only select a skin with a horizontal menu? vertical selection caused things to error?

Hope someone can help, be careful with me I am new to this ... ;O)

Hi,

I've installed  4.4.1 to. Without any problems. But when I added the feedback component or the SuperSKA picturgallery module I got a simular error :

Error: SuperSKa Picturegallery is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\App_Data\Database.mdf failed.

Thx. In an order forum I found the same answer and already tried it out. Unortunaltly I seems not to work out. I gave the user under wicht the asp.net2 process runs the same rights as the DB-user I greated for the DNN DB, and it worked. I was not happy with this solution an re-tried several lay-outs of the 'value' parameter. The thing that made it work is to leave out the provider in the second (for backword compatibility) DB setting.

The web.config settings look like :

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Database=DotNetNuke;User ID=***;Password=***;Connection Timeout=5" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Database=DotnetNuke;User ID=***; Password=***; Connection Timeout=5" />
