Hello,

Please help if you can. I'd rather not give up on DNN.

I have created a new DB on my hose (HostExcellence).
I've extracted and uploaded the files to the domain folder using FileZilla.
I changed file permissions to the entire tree to 777 with FileZilla.
Support has given access to the ASP user.
I have tried loading http://www.distinguishedpet.com/insta...
I get an error in a second, from IE and Firefox:
Server Error in '/' Application    Runtime error

I have edited my web.config file to set as follows:

 <connectionStrings>
 <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 -->
     <add name="SiteSqlServer"
  connectionString="Server=(local);Database=pegasu1_dp;"/>
  <!-- connectionString="Server=(local);Database=pegasu1_dp;uid=;pwd=;"/>
 </connectionStrings> 

 <appSettings>
  <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules  -->
      <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=pegasu1_dp;"/>
  <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config"/>
  <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true"/>
  <add key="UseInstallWizard" value="true"/>
  <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true"/>
  <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false"/>
...

        <customErrors mode="Off"/>

The error messages are not helpful, despite the setting.

Earlier I could not connect to the DB, so I changed it to refer to only the db name. Adding uid and pass then say no connect to db.

Please help. TIA

We found the misplaced bracket yesterday and the installation proceeded, but failed at asking for the host password. Said. User already exists. Support at host somehow got it to proceed.
When I open the site, I see that CSS is not loading. It is a long vertical list. I was able to set skin to dark Knight. But it has no effect.
I searched for answers but this must be uncommon.
I am out of ideas. You?
