Question

I am using SQL Server Web (Full version not SQLExpress). I can connect to the database fine from my VS2010. However when I go to ASP.NET Web Application Administration, click “Security” I got below error:

There is a problem with your selected
data store. This can be caused by an
invalid server name or credentials, or
by insufficient permission. It can
also be caused by the role manager
feature not being enabled. Click the
button below to be redirected to a
page where you can choose a new data
store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. “

I know I miss something. Can somebody help?

Thanks

Just a tip, have a look in your web.config file and set YOURMACHINENAME in the data source

<connectionStrings>
   <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
   <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;Data Source=YOURMACHINENAME ;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Hope it help
