I'm using SQLServer Express and I made sure I commented out that section. I'm using the sqlserver comment:

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>

But I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProviderSystem.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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.

Is this related to a SQLServer Express setting? I have it set to Built-in account local service. Is that correct?

Thanks!

I just figured it out. It helps to read the directions in the documents folder.  It delivers as written. Great product so far!
