I am using the installwizard.aspx, and selecting: Typical Install.

Our database is SQL 2000, I have set up IIS 6 (pretty much according to this:
http://seablick.com/blog/71/a-newbies...)

I have created the database and a new securtiy login which permit database roles to public and db_owner.

ASP.NET user has read,write,execute permissions on the dnn folder.

When I get to the Configure Database Connection screen I get this error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connection Error(s):
Index #:0
Source: .Net sqlClient Data Provider
Class 20
Number 53
Message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server....
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have entered my database name and password correctly.


Sometimes I aget this error too:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Request timed out.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out.

Source Error: 

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stack Trace: 

[HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.] 

any ideas?
thanks.

Is the database set to "Allow Remote Connections to this server" ?

If you look at your "SQL Server Configuration Manager" are your needed protocols enabled?
Named Pipes, TCP/IP, etc?

Generally the 1st SQL error you're seeing is related to protocols not being enabled or services not running in/for SQL

If you take care of the cause of the 1st error your 2nd timeout error should go away as well

the only protocol needed by DNN is TCP/IP, you need to enable it for both, SQL Server and Client library.

working now thanks.
the problem for us was a firewall one (we didn't have a trusted connection set up from the web server to the sql server).

I then had to delete the original installation and database and re-install and re-create the db again (as it gave me almost every error under the sun when trying to carry the installation through from where where i left off).

thanks.
