it is the subsequent line, that tells the source of the error.

Try either of these two methods and tell me where you get stuck

  • Setting-up the Environment (using IIS)
  • Setting-up the Environment (without IIS)

    Well I tried the (using IIS) and I get the exact same error. Could not connect to database specified in connectionstring for SqlDataProvider.

    I did not touch the web.config file as the instructions said nothing about doing so, actually it says "The site sets up using the default settings that are set to use SQL Server Express"

     

    confused,

    Can you try

    Setting-up the Environment (without IIS)

    Also ensure that you have SQL Server Express installed and working. Also what operating system are you using?
