Hi

This are the SQL connection strings from the 9.3.2 web.config file on our portal.

Is it significant that we see two connection strings, one for SQL Express (not used) and the other the local full SQL database (used).

<!--StartFragment--> 
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2008/2012 Express -->
    
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2008/2012
    
    -->
  <!--EndFragment-->

Ken,

I think this is confusing. The second string is commented, therefore not used and I think can be deleted without any consequences (or left there, as it is commented and can be used).

The comments ("Connection String for SQL Server 2008/2012 Express" and "Connection String for SQL Server 2008/2012") do not make any sense either for me. I remember there was some confusion, as the expression "SQL Express" was sometimes used for the file-based "SQL Compact", maybe this part of the web.config is a little survivor from these days :-)

If you feel disturbed from this, I think it is safe to delete it...

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Hi, it didn't paste clean.

It looks like parts of the original Azure 9.1 installer may have survived and thats confusing our Azure platform. Worth taking a look at that. Thanks for the comments.
