Can somebody help the asp.net/windows newbie, please? :)

I have some questions...

I am looking at installation readme.txt and it states the following...

 

Installation readme.txt
- .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed
- unzip package into C:\DotNetNuke
- create Virtual Directory in IIS called DotNetNuke which points to the directory where the DotNetNuke.webproj file exists )
- make sure you have default.aspx specified as a Default Document in IIS
- rename release.config -> web.config
- SQL Server 2000 or 2005
  - manually create SQL Server database named "DotNetNuke" ( using Enterprise Manager or your tool of choice )
  - set the connection string in web.config in TWO places ( ie. <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;" /> )
- the {Server}/NetworkService user account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the root website directory and subdirectories ( this allows the application to create files/folders )
- browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser
- the application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts and provide feedback in the browser

Does the database name have to be dotnetnuke? What if the name of my database mydb?

It states that I have to rename release.config to web.config, but the web.config already exists -- What do I need to do???

Can somebody please help?

In Answer to your questions  - You can name the database anything you like as long as it conforms with sql naming - so mydb is fine..

You don't have to rename the release.config - that is generally for upgrading so that people who have modified the original web.config don't get it overwritten when they are upgrading.

Hope this helps.
