Hello,

I installed DNN 5.6.5 in my work for some rapid solutions. The plan is to install DNN in a server and SQLServer Database in another. I’m using the following platforms:

Windows server 2008 R2

SQLServer 2008 R2 (not express) with management studio

IIS 7.5

I followed the same procedure I used everytime I install DNN:

Extract folder, network service full control, uncheck read only, configure IIS, go to SQLServer management studio, create database, new login with dnn database as a default, login as a new user for dnn database, assign it as db owner, and go

The problem accured during installation process. While configuring database depending on these credintials:

Server:  servername\instance name

Database: Database name

Integrated security or username and password (I tried both)

This error appeared:

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 18456
Message: Sql login failed

So I changed credintials as following:

Server:  servername…. (and I tried to type IP address)

Database: Database name

Integrated security or username and password (I tried both)

This error appeared:

Connection Errors:
Index #: 0
Source: .Net Sql Client Data Provider
Class: 20
Number: 87

Can you please help me? This will make my day. Really :)
