My installation worked fine, then I wanted to attach the database to SQL Server so I followed this tutorial:
Introduction to SQL Queries with SQL Server Express, DotNetNuke and Vista
http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorial...fault.aspx

When I'm trying to open my installation it goes to the Installation Wizard and gives me this error message:

The Auto option has been disabled as the DotNetNuke Application cannot connect to a valid SQL Server database. You can continue to use either of the other two Wizard options and configure the Database settings at the appropriate Wizard step.

My connection string:



and



I double checked the password, user id, and catalog a lot of times.

I'm running:

DNN 05.01.04
Windows 7
Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Is this error because I'm not running the Express edition? What else could it possibly be?

<!--Session data-->Can't post the connection string, but I'm pretty sure it is correct, I just followed the instructions.

<!--Session data-->[script removed]

You can use the installation wizard to help you connect to the database. Database configuration begins with the second step, just after the permissions check.

I implemented functionality of attaching database to SQL Server directly from my program SQL Server Comparison Tool (SCT).  You can download it from

http://www.sql-server-tool.com/sql-...wnload.htm

Once you are connected to the server, please click menu item Tools -> Attach Database, specify database name and the location of files, and click button "Attach".  SCT should attach the database and display confirmation message.
