Hello all,

We have all probably been there.  Someone else's mess gets dumped on us to clean up. Janitor duty.

Well my janitor duty today is that there was a DNN site moved from one host to another. The files were copied over, the DB moved to the new SQL server. All the connection strings able to be found were changed (web.config, development.config).  The website works - except for the Contact Us page which appears to have a basic form on it.

It says:

"A critical error has occurred.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"

Not Working new: http://www.arboristinc.com (click on the Contact us on the menu bar)

Working old: http://thearborist.cccom.com/

I'm a DNN newbie so any clue as to the configuration option I may not know about is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bob

Check  your web.config file .. please  note there are 2 connection strings, one for the core and newer modules, and one for older (legacy) modules.  Make sure to change them BOTH
