I have installed Issue Tracker Starter Kit (C#).. Installation was successfull...
But unfortunatly i have issues viewing the site.. I am not sure how to sortout the issue.. Below is the error...
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
You can investigate what the connection string should be like:
1) Create an empty text file in windows explorer and rename it to X.UDL
2) Double click on it and the datalink provider dialog will appear.
3) Select the provider tab. Find the provider for your data access method and click next.
4) Select your source
5) Test the connection and save it.
6) Compare the contents of X.UDL with your connections string.
You could try looking on http://www.connectionstrings.com/ for examples of connection strings.

Which version of SQL Server are you using?
Is the installation local or on a remote server?
You can investigate what the connection string should be like:
1) Create an empty text file in windows explorer and rename it to X.UDL
