I have installed dnn  a few hundred times now,  but i have a problem i can't seem to resolve. I have installed the lastest version of DNN Community, it is running on a Windows 2003 Server with MS MSQL2008 on the same local machine. I have 3 seperate sites using this DNN application  -  one website works just fine (www.icshomeschool.com)  -   site comes up fine no issues  - i have 2 sites(www.solomons3.com and www.stuffyheads.com) installed after that continually drop offline showing the "This site is currently Unavailable" tag.

I have edited the config file several times over trying different database connection strings -  but nothing i do  seems to resolve the site offline issue.  I have gone through the IIS 6.0 config of the site that works  -  and line for line checked the settings - checked the NTS user file settings  -   everything  looks exactly the same  on the site that works vs  the two sites that don't  -  has anyone else  experienced this or know where the issue might be and point me in the right direction to resolve this??

Update: Problem Fixed - Issue MS SQL 2008  password exipred  -  Seems by default when you create a new user in MS SQL 2008  it places an expirey on the password after the default expiration time - your locked out.  So while you can connect to the database  -  it wasn't authenticating with the DB  -  hence the site was offline.  After changing passwords  -  unchecking the exipre check box -  works like a charm again.
