OK JetJam, I followed your instructions for installing 4.3.0, and here is the error I am getting. I rechecked the DB and it is correct in my web.config.

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.00

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

 

Here is my connection string data from my web.config:

 

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=Database=DB_*****;uid=myID;pwd=(myloginpassword);" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=Database=DB_*****;uid=myID;pwd=myloginpassword;"/>
    -->
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />

 

Can anyone help here. Thanx

If God does not live in Colorado, I bet he visits there a lot!!

Rajan:

In re-reading your connection strings I have spotted serveral errors in the connection string under appsettings. 

Please note that you are missing a significant section of the connections string after the word key.  Currently reads KeyServer=... should be key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=...

The connection string should not have the provider attribute in the appsettings area.

The value should also be on one continuous line, not broken up as it appears (could just be the site formating) as this adds a line break value to the connection string which will also cause an error.

      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  
  </connectionStrings>

and the appsettings are:

<appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <!-- <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>-->
    <add keyServer=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net; Database=DB_68228;uid=myUID;pwd=myPass;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" >
   
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />

Should Read:

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net; Database=DB_68228;uid=myUID;pwd=myPass;"/>

Hi Michael,

Yeah that was an error that I had corrected last night itself. But I had not removed provider attribute. I did that just right now but still getting the same Runtime error.... :(

This is how things are setup -

<connectionStrings>
   
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_xxxx;uid=myUsername;pwd=MyPass;"
       />
  
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
   
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <!-- <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>-->
   

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=whsql-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net; Database=DB_xxxx;uid=myUsername;pwd=MyPass;"/>
   
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
   
    <!--  Alternative Install Templates (included in package)
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="Club.install.config" />
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="Personal.install.config" />
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="SmallBusiness.install.config" />
    -->
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
    <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
  </appSettings>
