    Installing Umbraco 4.0.3 with SQL Server 2005 Express

    I created the DB via the walkthrough, created UmbracoCMS databse and can login as umbracoUser in SQL Server MS 2005, but when I try to install Database with Umbraco, I get this error.

     

    Database connection initialisation failed. The installer cannot connect to the database.

     

    I am using the ASP.Net 3.5 Web.Config file, and altered the file to this

     

    <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\UmbracoCMS.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Database=UmbracoCMS; user=umbracoUser; password=*******;" />

    What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks.

    Hi,

    see if SQL accept tcp connection ( or pipe, memory ).

    Have you tried to connect on local machine with SQL Manager? I suggest to create db directly into SQL and not attach file and use

    <add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Database=UmbracoCMS; user=umbracoUser; password=*******;" />

    I am confused by what you are saying. I used this tutorial

    http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/install-umbraco-30-on-windows-vista/configure-sql-server-2005-express-for-umbraco

     

    And followed it to a T.

    If you followed that tutorial, your datasource is not .\SQLEXPRESS since you installed the default instance.

    Try replacing .\SQLEXPRESS with (LOCAL)

    HTH,

    Peter,

     

    THat worked great thank you. I am now having a strange problem where whenever I ccreate something, (ie a stylesheet) it saves and then when I reload nodes it does not show up. Is there something wrong with my permissions? Thanks.

    This is a problem with permession on css folder. Check permession on that forder and see if IUSR and ASP.NET pool user have write permission on that folder.
