    DotNetNuke doesn't work

    I can not install DotNetNuke. I have SQL Server 2005 Express. When
    instalation process testing database connection, I receive this message:

    Message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the
    server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by
    the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
    connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
    connection to SQL Server)

    Does anybody know what is the problem? How to connect to database?

    Thanks

      DotNetNuke aside, can you connect to the database through the standard
      ado.net methods?

      Thanks,

          One of two things probably.

          Go to
          Start / Programs /Sql Server / Configuration / SQL Server Configuration
          Manager
          And enable remote connections.

          OR (check this first)
          Your connection string is off.

          ConnectionStrings.com - Forgot that connection string? Get it here!
          https://www.connectionstrings.com
          All connection strings in one place. Find the syntax for your database connection using ADO.NET, ADO, ODBC, OLEDB, C#, VB, VB.NET, ASP.NET and more.
