I’m trying to upload my asp.net site to my HostGator windows server. I’m having a problem connecting to the SQL Server database in my App_Data folder. It’s giving me the error:

Login failed for user ‘PSS004\IWPD_353([UserName])’.

I use Windows Authentication in Visual Studio 2010 to access the database and view the site just fine locally. Is that causing a problem? If so how do I set up a user/pass to use when accessing the database file once it’s on my hosting server?

If any further information is needed that I left out just let me know.

Thanks!

    When you run the code from your webserver, its most likely using a network service account (and hence windows auth wont work). Add a user account to sql server and change the connection string to use sql auth instead and that should fix it
