I installed the DNN version 6.1.5 and got the following web.config error. What do I do to fix this?

 Thanks, The error message follows.

are there two sections for connectionString in your web.config or did you nest multiple DNN installations (install DNN inside a subfolder of an existing DNN website)?

Yes, this one was done in a portal off another DNN site.

    Obvious, you now have two "SiteSqlServer" entry in <connectionStrings> section of web.config file. It is not allowed in dotnetnuke. Try delete the second one (or comment it) and reload your site.
