Hi,

When I try to install new modules there's not the problem, works like a charm.

However, when I add the installed module to a page -for instance blog/faq/usersonline- I get error like these.

Error: View_Blog is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

I'm currently using dnn 4.8.2 with an SQL 2000 Enterprise database (located on a other server)

Basicly I get this error for every newly install module.

Previous install modules (like wiki) are working just fine.

Any ideas anyone?

Ok tnx,

Well, I tried to do what you said, but I'm probably doing something wrong here is my config.

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=server\sqlinstance;Initial Catalog=Portal;User ID=sa;Password=mypassword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
      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=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>
    -->

I've tried to mimic the setting under connectionStrings to the appSettings, like so:

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=server\sqlinstance;Database=Portal;uid=sa;pwd=mypassword;"/>

But this only generates errors.

More Ideas?

you weren't editing the correct entries, the <!-- --> characters are comment characters. This means that in the sample below, the active connection is the one in italics, and the one in bold is actually commented out.

<!-- 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=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>
