Howdy,

I'm having an issue with installing DotNetNuke on my web server. We setup our database on a SQL Server Express and make sure that TCP/IP and Pipes were enabled but I am getting the following error message every time I try to configure dotnetnuke 4.5

Anyone have any insite as to what I have to change in my web.config file if anything? 

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 20
Number: 1326
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

Thanks,
Owen

Ensure that in the SQL Server Surface COnfiguration Manager you have enabled remote connections as they are disabled by default.

If this does not work you most likely have an issue with your connection string values.
