This previously always worked, but when I use it to install umbraco v6, I get this error messge:
"Database configuration is invalid. Please check that the entered database exists and that the provided username and password has write access to the database."
Has something changed for the database configuration of Umbraco v6 ?
No, I didn't report the issue. Will do, first thing in the morning, in my office. I'll post the link to the issue tracker in here. At this moment, I'm not quite sure if I'm doing something wrong during installation, or if it's really an issue. Maybe I should check the documentation on installing Umbraco v6 manually.
Sounds good - Yes it's a good idea to read through the documentation. But maybe one could argue that if you have to go through too much trouble to do the installation something needs to be improved.
You're a seasoned and experienced Umbraco developer and if you're having issues installing (even though it may not be a bug) imagine how a newcomer will feel - So I think it's worthwhile to address the issue nonetheless :)
cannot install datababase in v6 with windows auth mode
Hi,
I'm trying to setup Umbraco v6 with windows authentication mode for the database.
In the install wizard I choose the option:
"I'm an advanced user, let me put in the connectionstring"
The connectionstring I'm giving has this format:
server=myserver\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=mydb;integrated security=True
This previously always worked, but when I use it to install umbraco v6, I get this error messge:
"Database configuration is invalid. Please check that the entered database exists and that the provided username and password has write access to the database."

Thanks for your help,

I just installed Umbraco v4.11.8 database with windows authentication, without a problem.
So this seems to be a Umbraco v6 specific issue.
Guess I have to make my next project in Umbraco 4.11.8, that's a pitty, I was willing to give v6 a shot!
Hi Anthony
Have you reported this potential issue on the issue tracker?
If not I recommend you do so and post the issue link back in here.
Cheers,
Jan
