Hi Lee
I have decided to install DNN 4.3.4 because I wish to use modules which are not available for DNN 3
I am not a developer so I downloaded the DNN install version with the intention of uploading to my hosting provider. When unzipped I found web.config, release.config and development.config.
I understand that I need to edit web.config and ( I read somewhere that I need to mirror the connection strings in development.config but I don't know why) and ignore release.config unless I am upgrading.
Am I correct so far?
The web config file contains an extra connection string:
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
--
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005>
as well as the
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>
--
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules>
Can you briefly explain the purpose of these strings.
I know that I must edit accordingly:
Server=MY SQL-SERVER-NAME;Database=MY-DATABASE-NAME;uid=MY-USERNAME;pwd=MY-PASSWORD;"/
I am not having much luck trying to install my fresh DNN 4.3.4. I know that my hosting provider is currently using ms sql 2000. I presume that my problem is with in the web.config file but I can't find where I have gone wrong. With a little more understanding of this file I may be able to configure it correctly.
Thanks
Regards
Lynn
