Man I beat my head on this for 3 + hours finally read this post http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/38303/scope/posts/Default.aspx

and in there mehenson posted his guide http://mehenson.com/Portals/0/Installing_DNN4.pdf on how he installed his, I went over most of it with a grain of salt but I saw the option in SQL2000 about going into the SQL server properties - security and setting the authentication type to mixed so I tried it on SQL2005express and I changed it - rechecked my webconfig and rebuilt the site and OMG all is working!

Should this not be in the install guide? Or should it not bet set to mixed mode?

I have to say I really like DNN but the install guide is such a pain in my #$$  I could create a step by step guide for this in like 15 minutes (now that I know what I had to do) why do they put so much mumbo jumbo in it; to over complicate things or what!

I don't know but most admins don't have time to sit around trying to figure out their install guide if they would make a quick install guide for each scenario they would attract many more users but maybe they like the elitist dev type crowd. Seriously this should have taken me 5-10 minutes not 3 hours had there been a guide for JUST a new install of 4.X and not having to reference back and forth between a one size fits all type of guide.

 

Anyways I wanted to share that with anyone who might have a similar problem. Anyways happy to have it up and running and like I said before I really like DNN it's just got the potential to be bigger if they would simplify the instructions some.

I wanted to just add that I came across DNN only about a month ago after building sites in DW for 5 years or so... and I'm absolutely hooked on this and the concept as a whole... I'm not a heavy duty developer, primarily a producer/designer with good tech understanding... But I keep running into a lot of discussion which unfortunately is still over my head a bit... I could spend a lot of "additional" time and learn a lot more but the point is, and this is where I think I agree somewhat with the prior post that someone needs to be writing documentation that talks in language that more people understand... I'm thinking that's another potential market for someone who's willing to take it on... a couple people have started and that's a great start... if this gets as big as it seems to want to be... then someone will answer the call... do I make any sense at all?
