I've performed all the operations under the installation guide.  I'm at 1.1 on this page: https://dnndocs.com/conte...on-wizard/index.html

When I try to go to dnndev.me, I get

DNN Error

Connection To The Database Failed

Any secrets I need to know about from here?

On the same system you are using for the install, use Sql Server Management Studio, and verify that the credentials you have in web.config can get you logged in appropriately.

For sheer ease of use and efficiency, consider doing the install using nvQuicksite. It will get everything set up just fine.
