    I'm a newbie to web hosting and dotnetnuke. I'm following the instructions posted on DiscountASP.net for uploading the DotNetNuke files. I have ordered SQL Server 2005 as an add on.

    In the web.config file there is a connection string as follows:

    connectionString='Server=SQL_SERVER_NAME;Database=DB_NAME;uid=DB_USERNAME;pwd=DB_PASSWORD;'

    Where do I find SQL_SERVER_NAME? DB_NAME?

    Is the SQL_SERVER_NAME the same as DataBase Name from DiscountASP.Net (i.e. SQL2005_.....)

    Is the DB_NAME the Database.mdf file supplied within the DotNetNuke Project


    Help would be appreciated.

    No. In the database manager in the control panel, it should list the SQL server name. It should look something like sql2k504.discountasp.net



    Is the DB_NAME the Database.mdf file supplied within the DotNetNuke Project
    No. The db name can also be found in the database manager in the control panel, it should look like SQL2005_xxxx
