I am trying to port a working DNN site from a 32 bit machine to a 64 bit machine both running Vista Home Premium.

On the new machine i have attached the DNN database.mdf file to a machine instance of SQLExpress so I can administer the DNN database. I have created a DnnUser ( temporarily with sa rights ) that has access to the machine instance of SQL Express and the DNN database in  SQLExpress. All looks well until i access the website. I am taken to the DNN web setup form.The first page indicates that it cannot find a valid Sql Server. On the Configure Database Connection page I have: 

Selected SQL Server 2000/2005/2008 Database

Set the server to the Machine instance of SQLExpress

Set the database to the DNN Database

Not selected Integrated Security:

put in my user id: DNNUSer

Added the password

Selected Run as db Owner

Added an Object Qualifier:

But when I tested the connection I get:

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 18456
Message: Login failed for user 'FEDWEB\DNNUser'.

The SQLExpress has been configured for SQL Server and Windows authentication

I have set the SQLExpress to use the DNNUser account in the Sql server Configuration Manager

My IIS connection string is:Server=FEDWEB\FEDWEBSQLEXPRESS;Database=DOTNETNUKE;User ID=DNNUser;Password=XXXXXXX

The Application Settings SiteSqlServer is: Server=FEDWEB\FEDWEBSQLEXPRESS;Database=DOTNETNUKE;User ID=DNNUser;Password=XXXXXXX

(passwords deleted)

Is my configuation workable. Any Ideas where I went Wrong?

Check the SQL server log if you can and see if you can get more info about the authentication issue .

Maybe this post can help:

There is nothing in the SQL Server logs dealing with login failures. The post you refered me to did not have anything I could use.I am still going in circles :+{

Here are the connection strings I am using:

<connectionStrings>
     <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=FEDWEB\FEDWEBSQLEXPRESS;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=DNNUser;pwd=xxxxx;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
      <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules-->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=FEDWEB\FEDWEBSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DOTNETNUKE;uid=DNNUser;pwd=xxxxxx;"/>

make sure to use the correct password and the server to allow for remote login.

besides, SQL client and server need to support TCP/IP protocol.
