SQL Server Connection String

I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my computer, now how can i give connection string to the DotNetNuke website installation process?
Please reply.....

 

If you're running the installer of DNN, it should give you the boxes where you fill in the information for your local SQL DB info.

If you were using a SQL Database we provided, you could simply go in the CP to the SQL Manager and after selecting your database, you can see the connection string given in the bottom of the page. You'll just have to change the password to use the real one, as ******* is just to prevent the CP from showing your passwords.

If you're using your local SQL database, you'll probably want to use 'localhost' as the server address and use the database info of a locally created database.

 

Thanks.
