Assignment List Web Part generates an error during configuration of SharePoint Learning Kit

Well, I started working with the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) 1.4 in MOSS 2007 and I was following the GettingStarted.pdf document that accompanies the package. So on Page 10 where you’re supposed to add the SLK Assignment List Web Part to a site, as I followed the instruction the site would not show anything, then I went back to the Site Actions –> Site Setting –> Web Parts and clicked on the AssignmentListWebPart.webpart. It showed the following message

“An error occurred. More information may be available in the server event log.”

Now it is important to note that the logs being referred to here are NOT the ones at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\LOGS because these are the WSS logs.

The logs you need to see are the ones in the Administrative Tools –> Events Viewer. So when I checked that it said

SharePoint Learning Kit Error
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database “SharePointLearningKit” requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user ‘NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE’.

So now I knew that all I need to do is to grant access to the SharePointLearningKit database to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and to do that just fire up SQL Server Management Studio, go to Security node –>Logins –> right click NT Authority\Network Service –> Properties –> User Mappings –> check the database SharePointLearningKit and simply check the db_owner  role for it to give it maximum access for the time being –> Press the OK button and you should be able to see the Web Part now!
