Can I use SQL 2000 and can I use it on a separate box from DNN?

I modified web.config as described in the Insatll Document.  THe install document only refers to SQL2005/SQL2008 but the comments in the web.config file refer to SQL2000/SQL2005

 

So which is it, 2000/2005 or 2005/2008?

Hi,

Up to DNN version 4.1 I was running SQL2000, so I believe you should still be OK with running SQL2000 with DNN.  However because of changes in the SQL which may be used by third party modules (or indeed DNN modules) I would advice to either use 2005 or 2008.   There should be no problem running your DB on another server as long as you've setup the link between the two servers correctly (i.e. you can logon to the DB from your web server box), I've been doing this for 2 years now and find it easier to maintain and more reliably that runnig on the same server.

 DNN supports SQL200-2008, even Express and filebased connection strings (database.mdf), if you don't have a database management tool installed.

it can be installed on same or a separate machine,

Yes and yes.  I've been running it that way for years.  :)

The connection string we use now (v.4.9.2):

 

 

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source={ServerIP},{ServerPort};Initial Catalog={DatabaseName};User ID={DatabaseUser};Password=<{DatabaseUserPassword}" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Server IP means not having to worry about name resolution.  Server Port is for non-standard ports, remeber to open the IP and port in firewalls between servers.
