Okay Ive got a fresh copy of Windows 2003 enterprise R2 or whatever you call it installed.  I installed MSSQL Server EXpress 2005, Management studio, IIS 6, enabled ASP 2

The DNP Installer installed everything fine, but when i goto http://localhost/Portal, it gives me this error:

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.01

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

Now I tried installing just DNN 4.3 before on another server, and got this error, and fixed it somehow, but I cant remember what i did :/.  DNP installer should have set the db connection strings, and set up the databases for me.  It did b/c i checked in management studio and they are both there.  Any suggestions? I made sure NT Authority/Network SErvice accnt had all privilages

THanks!

Hi,

Please, take a look at this post http://forum.dotnetpanel.com/forums/post/402.aspx to see if this is your case.

I have exact same config, hardware and same problem.

DotNetPanel/Portal is running on same instance

tryed copying   this configuration .. with my data

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="server=(local)\SQLExpress;database=XXXXX;uid=XXXXXX;pwd=XXXXXX;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="server=(local)\SQLExpress;database=XXXXXX;uid=XXXXX;pwd=XXXXXX;" />
  

But this gives no better results...

how come portal can run, when installed  DNN 4.3.1  cannot ?

Forgot to inform..

Portal runs fine... 

its the installations of a DotNetNuke application that gives the following problem

1.  in IIS  always makes an extra backslash in HomeDir  "\\"   in stead of  "\"  so I manually have to change this in IIS

2. connection string does not work,   even in mixed mode.. 

There seems to be bug with DNN App Pack

Could you please clarify where do you get double backslash?

Hi guys,

Please see this post for updated DNN application packs: http://forum.dotnetpanel.com/forums/thread/1829.aspx

Thank you for your spent time trying to investigate this issue and sorry for all possible inconveniences related to this (and other issues) with the latest release. All DotNetPanel team do their best to resolve all recent DNP 1.5.x issues in shortest time.

Do you have a trailing slash in the path on WEB service properties page?

If yes, then please remove it for now. It should be considered as a bug and it will be fixed in the next 1.5.2.

Hi Feodor,

I have checked and its a bug which needs to be fixed for next version.

Thanks
