Hi,

I use DNN 5.6.0 on my server: Windows Server 2003, Microsoft-IIS/6.0, ASP.NET 2.0.50727.3649, Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
I want to migrate my DNN portals to new server: Windows Server 2012 R2, IIS 8.5.9600.16384, ASP.NET 4.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2014.
When I successfully migrate, I will update DNN to latest version.

But I have problem at migration. I have been Google-ing for three days, so I decided to ask.
When I try to open my portal by writing down localhost, I get this error: 
Installing DotNetNuke
Upgrade Error: ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

I have tried a lot of different connectionStrings, but no one works:
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I restored database from old server to new one. In first case, I created new user in database and made him "db-owner", but does not work, also the second one.
I suppose, there is a problem, because ASP.NET can not access to database, but I do not know, what to do.

If anyone could help me, I will be really thankful!

is you SQL server on the same machine?
did you attach the database?
you don't need to create a user in the database, but for SQL Server in top level security node of SQL Server Management Studio.
This user needs to be mapped to a user in your database (you may use same name and schema dbo) and granted dbOwner.
If you want to use integrated security, your user needs to be windows account of the ASP.Net service, as configures in the IIS app pool of your website.

Both the connection strings you quote look like they target Sql Server Express edition (.\SQLExpress). You say you have SQL Server 2014 - you didn't mention Express.

So the first hurdle is to get the correct machine and instance name?

Yes, SQL server is on the same machine.
I don't understand what do you mean with attaching my database? I created backup on my old server and I restored database on my new server.
I use Windows Authentication to access to my database - to log in to SQL server.

I think, my problem is here: "If you want to use integrated security, your user needs to be windows account of the ASP.Net service, as configures in the IIS app pool of your website."

I dont't know, how to do that - where to configure this account of ASP.NET service in IIS Application Pool of my website? Thank you!

My server name is: NT-WWW\SQLEXPRESS, so I suggest, my connection string is ok.
