HOW TO ****** INSTALL DNN 4.4.1

================
1
Copy the unzippped install files to c:\hosting\mysite\*
COnfigure permissions on files for:
- NETWORK SERVICE = FULL CONTROL
- IUSR_youmachinename = LIST/READ

================
2
My MS SQL SERVER 2003 name is "SERVERSBS\SQLEXPRESS"
TCP/IP configured to port 1433 and ENABLED in configuration network for MSSQL

database: dnndb
owner: SCMM\Administrator

user:dnn
pass:chooseone

Very important: configure MS SQL SERVER Surface Area and SQL SERVER Network Configuration with all protocols for TCP/IP enabled

IMPORTANT!!! Change MS SQL SERVER 2005 to Mixed Authentication (default is only windows)

================
3
Create a normal user in Windows SBS 2003 like the SQL SERVER user: dnn/chooseone
This user is not created in active directory users; just in the regular users option, like the Server Management window.

================
4
Add MODIFY permissions to user DNN on app_data directory

================
5
Modify web.config for the new values

  <connectionStrings>

    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=192.168.1.123;Database=dnndb;uid=dnn;pwd=chooseone;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
