Hi , i am trying to install DNN 7.0 community version in my virtual machin Windows server 2008, i followed the installation video exactly, until i get to the step where i add the application pool user 

iss appPool/dnndev.me 

which in my case is not available, so i added the login user name for this server, also  modified the security on the folder level for all Authenticated user, also i added it as an owner to the DB

now when i run the site it will load with an error Database Connection Error

i dont know how to solve it, any suggestion

Get the database ID and password in the web.config file and try to manually log in to ensure it's correct. If not, log in to sql server, create that account and try it again.
