Hi folks,

Installed a vanilla copy of the latest DNN 4.0.2 on Win2003 and SQL 2005.

Install went fine and showed all completed with no errors, in checking the db all the tables are sp's appear to have been created.

However, when I click to go to your website I get errors in all the modules showing 'XXX is currently unavailable.' I can login as host and the error message is displayed for links as an example is:

Error: Links is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

Ok, it sayes it might be the remote connection with SQL 2005, I checked and it is enabled, but the question is how could it connect to create the site, but not be enabled to pull data from the DB? I dug a bit deeper and while some tables have data (users, modules) others are blank (links, announcements)

Any Ideas?

Ok, a bit more information gleamed...under IIS Console, the ASP.NET tab, Edit Configuration:

There were 2 entries, one called LocalSqlServer, and one called SiteSqlServer. LocalSqlServer hand the setup string for ISQLEXPRESS in the connection string manager, and the correct string  I entered to access the DB in the SiteSqlServer parameters.

However, in the application settings, it had the ISQLEXPRESS settings instead of my SiteSqlServer settings...I changed the string and no longer get the error messages, but the tables are empty so the modules show no entries.

Odd, but I'm going to delete the site/db and reinstall to see if that will pre-fill in the tables correctly.

 

***edit ***

Reinstalling after correcting the application string fixed the install problem...not sure how that got incorrectly set.
