net web application with membership controls. By default the membership databases (ASPNETDB.mdf) got created in the APP_Data folder. It’s working fine from there, but I had to move the databases to SQL server instance.

I copied the MDF and LDF files to another folder and attached it as a new database in my SQL server instance. then I changed the connection string in the web.config file to point to the new location.

But the problem is that the new database location is not working. I am always getting login failed exception. I am sure that the credentials supplied in the connection string are correct, because the same credentials are working in a different application.

Is there anything I am missing?

    Run the aspnet_regsql.exe from the .net command line to register a database to support the different providers you need, including Membership, Role, or Profile.
