Hi, i am really frustrated from this problem, i am trying to install DNN 7 in windows server 2008, i follwoed the steps in DNN site for installation, but when i run installer wizard i am getting connection error, i give the user permission on Folder level, as owner to the database, and still nothing, do i need to modify the connection in web.config file? is this correct
note:
database name: dnndev.me
user name: Administrator
Password: password



please help

No, you don't need to make changes in web.config. The installer will do that for you when you go through the process.

But, you do need to give the install wizard this information to connect to the database:
1. Server
2. Database Name
3. Username
4. Password

The latter 2 are required if you connect using SQL Server Authentication. There is an alternative to use Window Authentication.

You can use SQL Server Management Studio to test that you have the correct names and credentials to connect.

Note that these are different than folder permissions.

Please give more details regarding the SQL Server and I can perhaps provide more information.
