I'm having an issue with a "This site is currently unavailable" error message. A while back, the site had to be moved to a different server, so I think the likely problem is database connection related. I was not the one who initially developed the site, so it's currently a bit like I'm fumbling around in the dark. The developer who put this together has since left the company, and it has fallen to me to figure out this issue. I know almost nothing about DNN other than the research I've done trying to figure out this error.

My setup: Windows Server 2008,SQL Express with which I use Windows Authentication to connect, ASP 2.0, not sure which version of DNN.

Here's my connection string in webconfig:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User ID=dnnuser;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I've tried various changes to the connection string with no luck. On a side note, there are some modules that connect to another database along side the dnndb database.

If anyone can help me troubleshoot this, I would be incredibly grateful.

I encoutered this page unavailable a few days ago. I found out the solution as below. When you restore the SQL to another server, even everything looks successful, actually the default DNN user is invalid. I removed the DNN user from SQL server, and re-create the same user ID and password, then it should work. There are some tricks when delete the invalid user. In the DNN database, you look at the Database roles and found all the aspnet related roles, it bears the previous DNN user as the owner, you must reallocate this owner to another user before you can delete the invalid user, better to user dbo. After you have deleted the old user, and created the new one, make sure to change back all aspnet owner to the new user instead of dbo.

If your site still not working, replace the DNN files with the recent DNN files which you are using in the previous server.
