Had an interesting error message.

Critical Error: Data Store Unavailable


The data store used by Community Server cannot be opened.


Please ensure that your database is online and running and
that the connection string in your web.config file is correct.














To configure your connection string:


1. Open [Install Location of Community Server]\web\web.config


2. Within web.config find the configuration section (highlighted) below:

   

    <configuration>
<appSettings>

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="[Your connection string here]" >

</appSettings>
</configuration>




 


3. Modify the value to properly identify your database.


For example, to connect to a database named �CommunityServer� on the
current machine with an account �csSystem� and the password
�pa$$word12�:



  connectionString = "server=.;database=CommunityServer;uid=csSystem;pwd=pa$$word12"



For more information you can also visit http://www.communityserver.org the home of Community Server.

At a guess, slightly more than seven hours and four minutes ago.

So about 02.10 GMT?

Yes, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's if you assume, you make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Or something.
