I'm using SQL, and VS 2008.

I have other web sites up and running that connect to SQL on the back end.

They are all using C# as well.

So this seems to be a good fit for me.

This is my connection string.

I set my connection string this way, because this is normally how I connect my sites to my SQL server.

My current DB settings in my App.config file are back to the default now, so it's giving me the custom

Can not connect to database error page. error 40 could not open connection to SQL server.

Just below here is the DB section of the app.config file, I don't know what I should add in here I have tried several different options but none have worked as of yet.

Is there a real installation guide anywhere?

One that is not a total joke!

The issues that I was having appear to only arise when

trying the install off of the another directory aside from the web\root directory

of C:\inetpub\wwwroot

So after I dumped everything in this directory, which I did not want to do.

I was able to start a build on a new site, pointed to the new root location

and it opens the actual log in page.

I have other issues now, however my connection string is not it.

So I will post a different topic for these new issues.

In the mean time if some one has a good walk through document written up some place

for a New Install, that is not in the Web Root directory, I would like to obtain

a copy of it.

Basically looking for some in depth configuration information for the app.config

file.

Oh and by the way, this Forum application is pretty frig'n cool.

Ok,

If you install this into the default directory, this is pretty easy I have to say.

Installing anyplace else = :shock: 🤬 😠

But I have to hand it to you guys this is nice. I had been working on building

my own from scratch with C# .Net, and SQL 2008 for a while, then I figured I would

go look at some one elses, and I have to admit I am very happy I did.

And on top of that, this is the only one I have tried. I looked through a bunch of

them on FORUM Matrix, and picked out this one because it met the criteria of

my development environment. Took two days of head scratching, and now I have a

forum up.

This is awesome I will definitely be looking into a lot of customization.

I will recommend this to everyone.
