Thanks for your assistance guys!
I have edited web.config. here is my current config. cut and paste.
Still have the same problem -
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=DotNetNuke;Integrated Security=True;Database=DotNetNuke;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DotNetNuke;Integrated Security=True;"/>
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
I don't have a clue where to go from here.
Not sure what you mean by what the data base is called. I just opened sql server management express and added a new database called DotNetNuke. asssigned sa as the owner, added the db_owner schema and role to dbo in the DotNetNuke database security, users section.
How do include the password and uid in the connection string?
