Configure Database Connection

You can configure the database settings used by DotNetNuke on this page. If you are installing DotNetNuke in a "Hosting Account" your hosting provider should have provided you with the information.

There are two options for SQL Server 2005. SQLServer 2005 supports the use of Database Files. In most situations you should choose the Database option, but if you are using SQL Server 2005 Express then you should use the File option.

Select Database:
 

Server: Enter the Name or IP Address of the computer where the Database is located. (if using Oracle enter the Data Source (SID))
Filename: Enter the name of the Database File (located in the App_Data Directory)
Integrated Security: Check this if you are using SQL Server's Integrated Security, which means you will be using your Windows account to access SQL Server. If you are using SQL Server Express then you will most likely need to check this option. If you have been given a UserId/Password to access your Database, leave this unchecked, and provide the UserId/Password combination.
Run as db Owner: Check this if you are running the database as Database Owner - if left unchecked you will be running as the User ID specified
Object Qualifier: Enter an optional "prefix" to use for all your database objects - this helps ensure that there are no object name clashes.
Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 20
Number: -1
Message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

 

Can someone please help me. This is my first attempt at installing this and I'm not sure exactly how to allow remote connections.

Thank you for any help you can provide. Andrew

You can configure the remote connections option from the "Surface Area Configuration" tool within SQL Server.

You should find this tool listed under SQL Server 2005 in your start menu.
