There are only 3 changes that I have made so far to ANYTHING in the downloaded "Install" version. I changed the following in the web.config file. Im encluding this just in case maybe I goofed something up in there.

First

name="SiteSqlServer"

connectionString="Server=(xxxxxxx);DATABASE=xxxxxxxxx;uid=xxxxxxx;pwd=xxxxxxxxx;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Second

compatability - legacy modules
<add key="SiteSqlServer"

value="Server=xxxxxxx;DATABASE=xxxxxxx;uid=xxxxxxx;pwd=xxxxxxxx;"/>

Third (Changed to "off")

</compilation>
  
  <customErrors mode="Off"/>
