Does anyone have DNN 4.4 working with SQL Server 2005 Express?  I'd love to see a sample of your web.config file because I cannot figure out what the correct connection string is for my system.  I have done a lot of installs over the years and this is making me feel really retarded.  I have the IIS portion setup fine (it's serving pages) but I can't get any further in the installation process due to this error:

Line 19:     </sectionGroup>
Line 20:   </configSections>
Line 21:   <connectionStrings>
Line 22:     <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
Line 23:     <add
Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config    Line: 21

I've searched the forums and read the docs but everything seems geared towards a full SQL Server 2005 setup which is way out of my price range for now...

Thanks,

Carl

I had this trouble but oddly got it to work by commenting out the SQL Express section, instead using the SQL 2005 section.  Note that it uses SQL authentication not Windows, with database owner called DNN and a database called DotNetNuke. Replace machinename\SQLExpress with the server name that Studio Express uses.

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules-->

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=machinename\SQLExpress;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=DNN;pwd=password;" />
