I'm trying to configure the excellent ScrewTurn Wiki product on my server, and haven't been able to make sense of the documentation.

I'd like to configure it to use SQL Server for storage. Do I still need to specify a valid value for the PublicDirectory key in web.config?

This is how I've tried to configure the connection so far, but obviously I'm missing something else:

<add name="WikiData"
  connectionString="Data Source=xxx;Initial Catalog=xxx;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx"
  providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I can't even get the page to load without complaining about the PublicDirectory key after adding this connection string. Before I added the connection string, the site came up fine without SQL Server implementation. I'm not even getting a chance to see if the DB connection works and don't know what to name it here, if the name makes any difference in the key.

How can I get this working properly?

    This isn't really a programming question i'm afraid, but you should definitely ask on the ScrewTurn Setup and Deployment forums: http://www.screwturn.eu/forum/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=e1f57a516e77238842ea18ee7a81eb0b Dario's generally pretty good about answering questions, plus you may find existing answers already posted for the benefit of other users. – Shog9 Apr 23 '09 at 03:13
  • already did that at the time I posted this bud. I don't just post stuff before researching the hell out of something when I hit a wall. Besides his directions are terrible. Sorry I love Dario and everything but the docs have a little work that is needed which is why I'll blog about how to set this up...there are a few things not mentioned there. – PositiveGuy Jul 26 '10 at 04:46

    Also, I TOTALLY disagree that this doesn't relate to development. This is a web.config..an xml file. Please, give me a break. – PositiveGuy Jul 26 '10 at 04:47
