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,

In that case, it would be a good time to check your connection strings
to make sure they match from dotnetnuke to the regular ado.net like
sloan has recommended. If that still doesn't solve the problem, it
might be a good idea to contact the support for dotnetnuke.

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.
