Hi

I loaded the 4.8.4 source project to VS2005, I use Dotnet framework 2.0, MSSQL2000 Server on Windows 2000 Server OS.

When I F5 it in VS2005, it shows the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Line 154:                'ASP.NET 2 version connection string (in <connectionstrings>)
Line 155:                'This will be for new v4.x installs or upgrades from v4.x
Line 156:                connectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(name).ConnectionString
Line 157:            End If
Line 158:

I configured the web.config file

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
  <add name="2000Server" connectionString="Server=2000Server;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=dnn;pwd=dnn;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
 </connectionStrings>
 <appSettings>
  
  <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules-->
  <add key="2000Server" value="Server=2000Server;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=dnn;pwd=dnn;"/>

I created a database DotNetNuke in MSSQL2000 Server. I do not how did it link to Database.mdf under App_data folder.

What's wrong with my setting?

I found the problem is name="2000Server", I changed it to default ,  DNN and DB can be installed.
