I have a DNN 3.2.2 application working well. (developed in VS 2003, SQL Server 2005)

When I transferred this application to another computer, I got this error.

DotNetNuke Upgrade Error
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )

ERROR: Could not connect to database.

SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

or I will get the other VS screen which say 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'

I have set almost all settings as per the previous computer, but I don't know what has gone wrong. I have gone through the forums threads, similar to my problem, but I couldn't sort out the error.

This is the web.config string that I have used in both the computers...since Server=local, I think it would be enough & there is no need to change it......

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=CMSDemo;uid=sa;pwd=password;" />

Please do suggest something that I can try out.....any suggestions will be greatly appreciated ....

Thanking you in advance..

Where is your SQL server?  The connection string you are using is looking for the SQL database on the same machine as the DNN install.

With the error you are getting I think you will find that the database is still on the original machine.

Thanks for the reply....

The server was still there in the local machine. When I gave the computer name in the connection string, the application worked.

But I would like to know what difference is there between the two computers....? (One I gave (local), it worked.....but the other did not....) any particular reason ?

thanks again

Well 'local' tells DNN to look for the database on the same machine as the DNN install i.e local to the install.
On the second machine you have to tell DNN to go and look for the DB on another machine as its not 'local'

Many Thanks for the reply...

I am new into programming, so it takes a little time to figure out the basic concepts. Kindly abide with me if I am asking stupid questions....

The database is there in the second machine also....so isn;t that local???

regards

Praveen
