Problems accessing the ASP.NET configuration folder

  • I used the ASP.NET Configuration Wizard to configure a web user.
  • Then I denied access to anonymous users in the folder.

  • This works locally.

  • However, when I upload my website to my hosting provider, when I check the login, it says it cannot "access SQL Server 2005".

  • I noticed that the wizard created the database files:

    App_Data / ASPNETDB.mdf
    App_Data / aspnetdb_log.ldf

  • So my guess is that the website permissions are not correct to access these files.

  • In my FileZilla FTP client, I changed the App_Data directory and all files in it to 777, but it still gets the "cannot access" message.

Has anyone had a problem before?

ANSWER: Thank you Pradeep, I contacted my ISP, he said to use an online file manager to set the permissions that worked.

Check with your hosting provider. make sure they support sql database drivers. Also ask them for permission in the App_Data folder. One way to test this is to try creating a single page that gets data from the database and doesn't require authentication. If it works, there should be no problem with the database drivers and that should be a resolution issue. Hope this helps.
