I installed the 4.3.5 upgrade over a 4.0.2 install, and had the problem described above - on a remote server. Fortunately I was not in production on this portal. I dropped the database, deleted the entire file system, and tried again with the 4.3.5 install package instead.

Same thing ...

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.05

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

I can connect to the database specified using QA from my home machine. How come DNN can't?

In QA, using the credentials in the connection string in web.config, I created and dropped a table. Remotely, like, from the other side of the country. Then I built a classic asp page using the connection string credentials from the web.config file, and uploaded it to the same directory that the web.config for DNN is in, and ran the same create table command. I browsed to that page, and it loaded without error. I did sp_tables in QA and the new table showed up.

Something isn't right. I don't believe it is a connection string problem. At least, it's hard to believe that. Copied and pasted out of the old web.config that was working fine, after all.

Pulled my hair out on this one as I installed dnn a million times and never had a connection string problem. What it turned out to be was that the aspnet account was not set up. the host thought he had it running on 2.0 and setup the network service account but in actuality it was running 1.1.

Added the aspnet account with right permissions and it went in fine. not without a frustrating hour of messing around with it.

Color me stupid, and sorry to waste y'alls time.

The SQL 2000/2005 connection string is commented out by default in the web.config file, and the SQLExpress connectcion string is not ... it isn't obvious in my non-color-coded text editor. Still ... stupid me.

So now that problem is fixed, and the portal still does not come up, the PortalAliasInfo problem I've seen referenced ... I'll go read.
