Just started to test MoJoPortal, and of course hit the wall 2 minutes in.

System is Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2, IIS 6, .Net 3.5 sp1, MS SQL 2005 Developer in mixed mode, remote connections = true, named pipes & TCP IP enabled, DB user is sysadmin, file system permission = OK, and the server does run DotNetNuke. Seems like all should be OK.

I load /setup/default.aspx and receive the error 'the system cannot connect to the mssql database.....', not accessible.....named pipes error 40.

Anyone have any thoughts ?

Thanks in advance

Joe,

Hi. Yeah, the string is the same.

That's what confuses me. While we never setup MoJoPortal we are a database company and use some .net and Coldfusion all the time.

FWIW I have added new users with full permissions, used (local), the instance name, and even the IP address. Checked all the configs listed in the doc files here and they look right.

Thanks

Ted

Hi,

Sorry I didn't get back sooner guys, the old billable work thing. Both of you helped a lot, thanks.

The short story is I had entered my DB name incorrectly the first time, and then just kept fixing things. Of course I never updated web.config, just user.

This AM a light went off.................updated user.config, inserted a new line in web.config, and you know the rest.

I have not even logged in yet to look around.

Thanks to both of you for your help. If we do use MoJo and get any good at it I'll return the favor to others on the forum, that's the way it works :-)

Ted
