Hi Guys,

Can anyone give me any advice on connecting DNN 3.3.7 to SQLServer 2005.

I have DNN 3.3.7 on SQLServer 2000, DNN 4.5.1 on SQLServer 2005. Seperate Machines. Both working just great. Multiple test/dev sites.

I'm tryng to avoid putting SQLServer 2000 on the new machine I'm working on (with DNN 4.5.1 on SQLServer 2005). I do want to put DNN 3.3.7 onto that machine and setup mirrors of existing sites for future migration and testing in the DNN 4.5.x/VS2005/SQLServer2005 environment.

Struggling with the DNN 3.3.7 to SQLServer 2005 scenario.

Any advice?

Thanks

Hi Erik,

DNN337 keeps givin me a connection string error and I've checked and tripple checked the string.
Other versions (DNN4.x) connect to DBs in SQLServer 2005 without an issue.

I thought that, after looking at the connection string in web.config in the DNN4.x instances, the DNN3.3.7 instance might need something diferent to connect to SQLServer 2000. The string in DNN4.x is a lttle differnt in SQLServer 2005.

Lastly, I know I'm doing something wrong either in SQLServer2005 or DNN3.3.7. Just cannot see WHAT it is so was hoping for a few tips or suggestions on possible quirks connecting to SQLServer2005.

Erik, dank u wel!
It was the "accept remote connections " thing...

I did have a similar issue with the other DNN installations but forgot about that.

THANKS again.
