I’m trying to deploy a website using ASP.NET membership and the hosting company is godaddy. Problem is that for some reason an error is being thrown when I log in. I’ve modified some pages for testing purposes to see if I can pull data from the database and it works fine. So I know it’s mapping to the proper source. The error I’m receiving is the following:

“A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)”

Any help would be much appreciated.

    It sounds like something is using the LocalSqlServer automagic connection string still. I’d add<remove name="LocalSqlServer /> to your <connectionStrings> and see what blows up.
