I am working on my 1st mvc razor project. I set the project and on the 1st run I am getting an error that the _appstart.cshtml page can’t connect to the database.
I can see the db in the app_data folder and on this line of code I am getting error:

WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("StarterSite", "UserProfile", "UserId", "Email", true);

This is my 1st time working on mvc razor project, and every advice is welcome about what should I enter there.

UPDATE:
conn string in web.config:

 <connectionStrings>
    <add name="StarterSite" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\StarterSite.mdf;User instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  </connectionStrings>

    Make sure your connection string is pointing to the correct location (database). You can find it in your Web.config file in your solution.

    e.g.

    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="WebContext" connectionString="Data Source=server.local;Initial Catalog=blops.test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=Userid;Password=password" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  </connectionStrings>
