I started over earlier this afternoon on a clean machine.
I loaded IIS.
I loaded the .NET Framework ver. 1.1.
I loaded an older version of MSDE.
I unzipped the DNN ver. 3.2.2 to C:\dotnetnuke.
I modified the security perms for C:\dotnetnuke such that the local ASP.NET user and the local IUSR accounts had FULL Control on C:\dotnetnuke.
I put a web.config file in C:\dotnetnuke.
I went into IIS and created a virtual directory called dotnetnuke and pointed it to C:\dotnetnuke.
I went into Access and created a New Project and it came up with the connection box and I left the server as (local), I checked the checkbox for Trusted Connection (so then the username/password fields went gray), and I named the database dotnetnuke. And this database was created in C:\dotnetnuke.
When I go to IE and type my url – http://localhost/dotnetnuke I get a white page with the dotnetnuke logo on it and underneath it, it says:
Error Installing DotNetNUke
Current Assembly Version 03.02.02
Error: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
Does anyone have any ideas? I still need help.
