New to dotnetnuke.  Never heard of it before a friend got a job doing it.  (And she had never heard of it either.)

Anyways, looks great.  Now I'm just trying to get it to run at home (then later on my ISP.)  I have a named instance of SQL 2005 Developer Edition and I can create a data connection through VWD that tests out just fine.  However, when I try to do the same thing in web.config and have dotnetnuke install it bombs with the error:

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.04

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider


I'm following the instructions that come up in VWD, but I'm probably pulling some bonehead.  Would you please look at this and tell me what I might be missing?  (I develop for a living but unfortunately (for now!) on more legacy systems.)
Thanks

    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=(MARYKEN\CRESTONE);Database=NamespacesSite;integrated security=True;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules  
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;integrated security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>

You may have to modify your windows security and db permissions or you can just use SQL authentication by tellgin the web.config the dbname, userid, pwd.  Take out "integrated security=true" and replace both strings with the format here: 

 

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules  -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=MARYKEN\CRESTONE;Database=[DBNAME];uid=[USERID];pwd=[PASSWORD];" />
