Publishing website & SQL Express DB

[jsqrd]

Hey gang,

A newbee here trying to publish my first website (developed using VS
2005 using a login control tied to a SQL express database).
Everything works fine, except the login. I suspect the database did
not transfer.

Can anyone provide insight on the proper methodology?

Thanks in advance for your help!

JJ

It depends on the error you're getting when you try to log into the site.

What usually gets people is the application name, especially if you're pushing
out the site to a remote host. Check out this article from Scott Guthrie
in regards to configuring the membership in the web.config:

Another thing to check is the permissions on your App_Data directory on your
host. On my host, I had to manually configure RW on the directory and give
the accounts proper access.
