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: 14
Number: 18456
Message: Login failed for user 'MyDNN'.

I am working from the book "Beginning DNN Skinning and Design". I've installed DNN 5 and am running SQLExpress 2008. I have tried eveything i can try with my limited knowledge.

So what do i have to do to get to get to the next level of playing this game...

For starters you say you are running SQL express, yet looking at the screenshot you are not selecting the SQL Express option.

Just select the defaults presented to you with SQL Express if you are running everything from your localmachine..

Thanks..

I tried that before i posted for help.

For the record, one cannot simply use the book 'DNN Skinning and Design' with the 5.0 release and SQLExpress 2008.

I skipped using the wizard and let it 'auto install'...that worked, but i don't know why.

The book was written against the 4.8 version. The 5.0 release is a Relaase Candidtae, not to be used for production.  Expect other changes when you try to use the book to deploy your skin.
