Can anyone have a look at my web.config file below.  I have a test site running 4.3.1 and it works ok.  When i try to install DNN 4.3.3 on the same machine i keep coming across this message;

"The entry 'SiteSqlServer' has already been added".

I've seen posts about this problem where people are using the connection strings for SqlExpress & SQL 2005 but I've completely removed all references to Sqlexpress in the config file but the problem persists.  I'm guessing that the message is trying to tell me that there are 2 entries for "SiteSqlServer" but i just cant see where.   I even tried to remove the legacy string to no avail.  An extract of my web.config is below;


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


My setup is WinXP Pro (IIS 5.1), SQL Server 2005 Developers edition.  Any help would be appreciated.

thanks for the super fast response.  There are no web.config files in the root.  The only thing in the root is;

Library (Subdirectory)
Website ((Subdirectory)
DotNetNuke.sln

but to be sure, i'll move the site out of the inetpub directory and put it into a directory off the main drive.  I'll let you know how i go.

Cheers

Shawn is talking about a website root, not the file system's directory root.

So maybe you already have another website in http://<domain> with a web.config and now you are having trouble in http://<domain>/dotnetnuke with another web.config?

The application in the virtal directory is now inheriting the settings from the web.config in the web root.
