Hello Guys, I have a stange issue with a fresh DNN installation. Prior to installation I installed SQL server 2008 R2 and tested connection, which was fine. However when I tried to install DNN 05.06.00, I hit a error on the first installation page which was DotNetNuke Application cannot connect to a valid SQL Server database. Anybody know why this might be if I connected ok in SQL management studio? also how would I go about a fix for this before doing the install? Many thanks in advance for your views on this.

This is actually not an error, but a notification. DotNetNuke doesn't know which SQL Server you are using, so it doesn't automatically find it. If you continue to the next step in the wizard, you can enter the name and access credentials for the server. You should create an empty database using SQL Server Management Studio first, so you can then tell DotNetNuke to use it.
