    Stuck on Step 5 (dashCommerce 3.2 FRESH Installation)

    Hello!

    I get this error on step 5 and couldn't go on:

    A critical error has occurred: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

    When I look at my database, it has already installed the tables and stored procedures BUT how come it says "Error Locating Server"?  Has anyone encountered the same problem and solved it? Maybe this is a bug?

    It looks like you had a network connectivity issue when you installed the site.  Try deleting the database completely and adding a new one and installing the application again.  DashCommerce will blow up if you partially install the site.

    Thanks! That did the trick. I should really not stop trying. LOL.

    I forgot to mention I modified the ff config files: 

    - connectionString.Release.config
    - connectionString.Debug.config

    But did not modify connectionString.config.I thought it was replaced by the first two because it is not visible when you open the solution in VS.

    This is what actually caused the error.
