When attempting to install 3.2.2 i am receiving the following error.
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 03.02.02
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
Here is the install procedure i followed...
1. unzipped the file DotNetNuke_3.2.2_Source.zip to c:\DotNetNuke
2. Created a virtual directory called DNN322 for it in the IIS Manager pointing to c:\DotnetNuke
3. Set permission on the c:\DotNetNuke directory for ASPNET to "full control"
4. Created a new database in sql2000 called DotNetNuke and created the user NukeUser with ownership permissions on the db.
5. Renamed release.config to web.config and adjusted the connection string to this
6. Opened a browser and opened the url 'http://mycomputername/DNN322' and then received the above error.
After much trial and error, I had to do several things, but with Sql Server Express 2005. You may try any of the following:
first get a better error. Try turning remote errors off.
I had to end up moving my .mdf to a new location and givein the aspnet (or whatever version of os you use) and the mssql$computer access as well as the user I have. if this helps experiment with which on you actually need.
Hard code the new path of your .mdf (c:\mypath)
I had to manually attach the database under databases, right click attach.
I also had to enable named pipes (I did this don't know if it was really necessary, but it was turned off).
Hope this helps some.
