Greetings,

When initially opening the DNN website, I get a "Connection To The Database Failed" message, please see below, and cannot launch the install wizard.  I'm using the DNN_Platform_9.0.0.1002_Install package and would like to know if others have had the same issue and if there is a fix.  Any suggestions or recommendations would be most appreciate.

Thank you in advance.

does this happen prior to installing DNN or just after?
how did you specify database connection during install (please do not publish password or username here)
Which template did you use, there might be issues using the blank template.

do you have MS SQL Server installed on your local system?

Yes, SQL server is installed and that's why the message really doesn't make sense.  Is there an easier way to install DNN without any issues?
