Open web.config and change 'connectionStrings' and 'appSettings' sections (see below) connectionStrings add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=sqlxxx.mysite4now.com;Database=dbname;uid=dbuserid;pwd=dbpassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" appSettings add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=sqlxxx.mysite4now.com;Database=dbname;uid=dbuserid;pwd=dbpassword;" xxx = your MS SQL server number dbname = your MS SQL data base name dbuserid = your MS SQL data base user id dbpassword = your MS SQL data base password Note: Remove all SQL Express entries and don't forget to comment out the SQL server strings mentioned above. 6.

Go to control pane => Security => File Permission, locate your dnn folder and click the 'Edit' link 10. Set 'Read', 'Write', Execute' and 'Delete' permission for 'NETWORK SERVICE' On some servers, these permissions are already set, so if it is the case on your server, you can leave out step 10. 11.

But I tried to enable DNN on my site and it said I already had a DB (which I do as I use it for some websites). Can I run a script to create the necessary structure in my existing DB? If I need a new DB for DNN, it's doesn't really make it free anymore... Thanks for the help. Eric.    Report

You just have to use a different schema (i.e. DNN) when using an existing data base (must be SQL 2005 or newer) that is used by other applications. You can select the schema during install. Before you install DNN, check the existing schema(s) in your data base, so you do not use a schema already in use. That's all. NOTE: Always use data base backups for testing!
