Hi,
I am trying to install DotNerNuke 4.4 on my web hosting company.
I have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database called “f1support”
I have copied the files to the web root and made the this changes to the web.config file
 
 <connectionStrings>
     <!--Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=(mssql07.dandomain.dk);Database=f1support;uid=xxxx;pwd=yyyy;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  
 </connectionStrings>
 
And
 
<appSettings>
     <!--Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules-->
    <addkey="SiteSqlServer"value="Server=(mssql07.dandomain.dk);Database=f1support;uid=xxxx;pwd=yyyy;"/>
 
When I go to the site I get this 2 errors
 
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.04.00
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
Server Error in '/' Application.
Access to the path 'D:\www2\f1-support.dk\web\www\Compression.config' is denied.
 
I have tried to find something in the forum and on the net but I don’t have any clue of what to do :-(. I anybody have a clue of what to do I would be very happy :-)
Regards
Tue

Same problem here. The Compression.config file doesn't exist. All permissions are set right.

I am also having the same problem on upgrade. Noticed a bug report had been filed on this issue. Please let us know if anyone is working on this. Thanks.

Compression module does not load config file on startup. You must move compression.config fron \config folder to root. This got my site working. I found the paragraph below in the compression module page,

Good Luck

The rest of the settings have been moved out of web.config into a separate xml file (Compression.config) which can be found in the \Config folder and which is copied to the root folder when first needed.  This config file allows the user to set the excluded paths and mime-types.

It is kinda wierd to speak of good luck on a tech site, but when it comes to Sql Server connections, it is very appropriate.

Connecting to a Sql database is sometimes easy but if you misstep, your butt is fried and your connection issues jump from trivial to mysterious. There are so many flavors of Sql Servers, Providers and Connections that you have to become a frikin guru to make a connection. I hope MS gets a handle on this because frankly I am really missing xBase and other simple paradigms.

The whole world is GUI - but not Sql Server Connection Strings. These are still gobledygook settings like "User Instance = "put your best guess here."

?

Actually I have that one figure out: SqlExpress, Yes, Otherwise, No.

But there are others. And on this site you get "Hallelujah, I got rid of underscores and I connected OK!" Well, I ain't got underscores. What I have is an error that I can't connect. Yeeesh. It gets old.
