sql server 2005
win xp pro
iis 5

<connectionStrings>
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=6510GZ\SQLSERVER2005;Initial Catalog=DotNetNuke;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=6510GZ\SQLSERVER2005;Database=DotNetNuke;" />

...

 

as far as I know the directory gives aspnet full permissions and my login and aspnet are full privileged on sql server

Anything else it might be?

I had the same problem...

In web.config, I only specified the connection string in <connectionStrings>, not in <appSettings>.  Once I did it, it all worked fine.  The Log Viewer (after logging in as admin) told me that it was a connection problem:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server....

Make sure the connection string in <appSettings> is right by copy pasting your connection string you have in <connectionStrings> to <appSettings>.

It solved my problem.

You're right. I thought I had done that but I had an error somewhere.

This worked (where my windows login is the dotnetnuke database owner)

<connectionStrings>

<add

name="SiteSqlServer"

connectionString="Server=6510GZ\SQLSERVER2005;integrated security=true;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

<appSettings>

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=6510GZ\SQLSERVER2005;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;integrated security=true"/>
