To connect to 2008 you use the same setup as you would for 2000 or 2005.

 

Sorry wrong error message was entered in the previous post, I get the following error message, I have created the user, mapped with DNN database, authorised it as DBowner,

Configure Database Connection

You can configure the database settings used by DotNetNuke on this page. If you are installing DotNetNuke in a "Hosting Account" your hosting provider should have provided you with the information.

There are two options for SQL Server 2005. SQLServer 2005 supports the use of Database Files. In most situations you should choose the Database option, but if you are using SQL Server 2005 Express then you should use the File option.


Select Database:
 

Server: Enter the Name or IP Address of the computer where the Database is located. (if using Oracle enter the Data Source (SID))
Database: Enter the Database name
Integrated Security: Check this if you are using SQL Server's Integrated Security, which means you will be using your Windows account to access SQL Server. If you are using SQL Server Express then you will most likely need to check this option. If you have been given a UserId/Password to access your Database, leave this unchecked, and provide the UserId/Password combination.
User ID: Enter the UserID for the Database
Password: Enter the Password for the Database
Run as db Owner: Check this if you are running the database as Database Owner - if left unchecked you will be running as the User ID specified
Object Qualifier: Enter an optional "prefix" to use for all your database objects - this helps ensure that there are no object name clashes.


Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 11
Number: 4060
Message: Cannot open database "Dnn" requested by the login. The login failed.

Index #: 1

If using SQL2k8 Express I would try using the SQLExpress option during install, not the 2000/2005 option.

I have not tried 2k8 express myself, I avoid SQLExpress as much as I can because I always run into errors like you have, with the full versions of SQL I never have those issues.

There is no difference between SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Express in accessing the database. I always prefer to manually create the database, grant permissions and use the SQL2000/2005 connection string in DotNetNuke install wizard (or in web.config). This allows to use access database with management studio or another tool while the site is running.
