    Changing Umbraco 5 connection

    When runnign the U5 installer, I could not get it to accept my database settings.  so, I let it run using CE with the intention of changing the string once it was all set up.  This is a considerably different process to what I expected. 

    I've tried changing the string in \App_Data\Umbraco\HiveConfig\web.config but it made no difference. Anyone help?

    I don't have an Umbraco v5 instance at hand to look at, but surely they haven't changed the connection string configuration property - so, I'll say you should look in the web.config of the root of your instance and alter the 'umbracoDbDSN'  setting in 'appSettings' accordingly:

    <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="server=xxx;database=xxx;user id=xxx;password=xxx" />

    As I said, different from one would expect.  No, it's no longer stored that way

    OK, sems the answer to my question would be simply to edit the hive config file. 

    My problem was that I was running an instanvce of SQL 2005 without knowing it.  More of which here
