ASPNETDB Connection Problems - Please Please Help!
Mar 29, 2006
Hi I am working on my final year project and after over coming one major problem with sql server I have encountered another.
It feels as if I have tried everthing to solve it but cant get my head around it. I really do not have much time left to finish my project and am very worried in case I cant get the app / db fixed in time.
The problem started when I was showing my friend the website over the internet. There was a space in the address / folder name so I decided to create a new folder and copy the contents of the code from the old folder to the new one. This included the app_data directory that holds the databases for my system.
After setting up a virtual directory in IIS v 5.1 i ran the website only to be confronted with not being able to log in.
I have three connections ..... aspnetdb.mdf, x.mdf, y.mdf.
x.mdf and y.mdf are both being read from ok when I run the app but it doesnt seem to be reading from the aspnetdb.mdf database.
I have tried all sorts of things and had all sorts of error messages including:
cant write to database as its read only
cant access database because its already there.
It seems to me that there is more than one aspnetdb.mdf file attached therefore the app is reading from the new one and not the one i want it to.
I will paste the web.config file below. Please note that before i copied and pasted code to a different location this web.config was working fine. Also note that when I hit ctrl+alt+del it shows up 3 sqlservr processes -
sqlServr.exe - Network Service
sqlServr.exe - Rodney (my log on name)
sqlServr.exe - ASPNET
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Classes" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Classes.mdf"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="Iftams" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Iftams.mdf"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<remove name="UsersDB" />
<add name="UsersDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
I have tried reinstalling sqlserver, creating a new website from the vs2005 ide and also creating a virtual directory first and then copying files to it.
I have also tried attaching to management studio, changing user settings etc
I really dont know what to do next. My head is fried. Please help.
I would really appreciate your help on this one.
Regards in hope
Rodney

Hello, I'm getting up to speed with VS2005 and use SQL Server 2005. I'm using the login control in a test web app. When I run the app I get this error:
Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'UserIDASPNET'.
The connection string I'm using is:
data source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;
The AspNetSqlProvider in the web administration tool connects to the database.
My question is, Is this a connection string issue, and user ID issue, a rights issue or is it something else?
Thanks,
Gaikhe

HiI am having trouble connecting to aspnetdb on the shared host. On my local server this is my connection string which works fine: <add name="MyLocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;User Instance=false"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />But, this doesn't work on the host (just putting in host address):<add name="MyLocalSqlServer" connectionString="190.40....232,1444;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb_booksale;User Instance=false"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />,and I get the error :Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.so I put in the user id and password that i used when I created the aspnetdb_booksale db<add name="MyLocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=196....232,1444;Integrated Security=False;User ID=aspnetdbbooksale; password=amanda;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb_booksale;User Instance=false"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />and I get the error:The ConnectionString property has not been initialized. Any ideas for me?Amanda

Hi all,
I used the CreateUserWizard control to create new users. It amazes me how powerful the control is.
What amazes me most about this is that the control is smart enough to save the users info to the ASPnetdb.mdf.
I thought the connection string is stored inside the web.config. But once I opened the file, I can't find the connection string.
Where has the connection string gone? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

I installed netframework 2.0 Visual Web developer and MSSQL 2005 express edition with SQL Server management express.I have got this configuration: 2*256 mb ram Intel Pentium 3.2Ghz Windows XP HUN SP2 latest version.server name: localhostSQLEXPRESSAuthentication: Windows AuthenticationI run aspnet_regsql.exe and the setup wizard created aspnetdb see here, Microsoft sql server management studio can see the database:But! When I run to the asp.net web application administration tool in Provider Configuration and chooseAspNetSqlProvider only 1then I click Select a single provider for all site management data link -> then testThe Tool write this:Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site
Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to
create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set
the provider.

I am getting the error:
Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed.
When I browse to my ASP.NET 3.5 LINQ web application on the IIS 6.0 server on Server 2003.
I imagine this is because while I granted SQL Server 2005 login and permissions to my database that the application stores its data in, I did NOT grant any rights to the service account the IIS Application Pool uses for its identity to the aspnetdb database on SQL Server which is where all my roles information is stored at.
My question is what are the MINIMUM permissions needed for this database so it can perform its roles related functions?
I'm using Windows Authentications with the SQL Role provider for authorization.
Thank you.
EDIT: I think I only need to open the aspnetdb database and add my login to the aspnet_Roles_FullAccess role. Is that correct?

Using VS2005, VB backend and javascript,
I have developed a relatively simple site - its got a few (12) simple aspx pages but its mostly client side javascript. Keeping disk storage costs down is a big concern with this my site. The disk usage for the site is ~24M. Since this was larger than I expected I started inspecting the files comprising my site and found that the "ASPNETDB.MDF" in my "App_data" folder is consuming 10.2M by itself. The thing is that site only has a few pages with calls to SQL Server - but I never did anything (that I know of) with ASPNETDB.MDF. Through VS2005, I opened up the MDF file and poked around, everything that I looked at was empty (NULL).
So my questions are:
What is causing the ASPNETDB.MDF to consume 10.2M even thought I can't see any data stored in it?
Is there anyway for my to reduce the size of this file? If so, how?
Your input appreciated.

I'm creating a website in VWDexpress 2005 using a database, with string "SqlDataProvider". I have only one small-sized database. When I try to run my application in login mode (not using LoginView, I create it manually), the application cannot log me in, instead there's a weird error said some kind of "cannot use the ], [ or ) in database name". I don't configure the ASP.NET Configuration (which is opened in browser to make roles etc), I create all the controls manually. I don't have any other automatically-generated databases such as ASPNETDB.mdf because it cost lots memory! Oh, I used it before and the weird error I mentioned is occur when I excluded the ASPNETDB.mdf. I'm confused, why would the same error occur since I create everything manually? Any solutions? Thank you.

In response to a problem I have, my web hosting company asked me to rename aspnetdb.mdf. When I ask why, I was given this response
...it is because SQLexpless is developed for single database. If there is a same db name in the server, it cannot attach to the server. In order to prevent conflict, so that you need to change the SQLexpress's dbname into others to prevent conflict with others db name...
Does this make sense?

Hi,
I thought I had this corrected, but in fact don't. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228037.aspx
SQL Express is supposed to automatically generate a copy of ASPNETDB.mdf in the App_Data folder of the Express edition development suites (I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005).
In my case, it doesn't, and I can't figure out how to trigger it manually. I've read every post I can find, especially http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=98346&siteid=1
However, that mainly applies to deploying a database that already exists. I have already tried deleting the files as suggested and they do reappear in the appropriate folder, but I'm still not getting the ASPNETDB.mdf file in my apps.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I've had a post up on the Visual Web Developer forum, but folk are staying away in droves. Also tried uninstall and reinstall all the way down to IIS 5.1

I am trying to run the AJAX TaskList example under C:ProgramMicrosoft ASP.NETASP.NET AJAX Sample Applicationsv1.0.61025TaskList
First I moved the content of the TaskList folder to a virtual IIS directory, making it possible to debug the website on my local IIS server.
When I run the example I get prompted to Login or register as a new user. When I submit the registration form I receive the following error message:
Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTTASKLISTAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
How can I modify the permissions for ASPNETDB.MDF in order to run the TaskList example.

I created a website using Visual web developer express edition (including SQL Express). No the user management section of the site (the login/logout database) was created automatically and SQL Server express was installed at my computer under the instance name of SQLExpress. I uploaded it to my web host and he hooked up the ASPNETDB for me. Now the problem is that ASPNETDB has an id password and I was given the MSSQL Server IP. How do I configure my website to accommodate that? Any help will be extremely useful!!!

I developed an ASP.NET 3.5 site in VWD 2008 Express (with SQL Server 2005 Express) on Vista Home Basic (no IIS). So I then moved my source over to an XP Pro machine with IIS 5.1 and installed .NET 3.5 and SQL Server 2005 Express. Brought up the site, but it failed when I attempted to login. What do I have to do to get this to work? Do I need to attach the ASPNETDB.MDF in my APP_DATA directory to my SQLServerExpress? Was this taken care of by the ASP.NET config tool when I set up users/roles on the Vista machine?Do I need to set some permissions? Like I said this was working only on through the built in webserver in VWD 2008 Express.ThanksEric

Hi I have a problem most of the hosting companies I have seen offer the hosting package I want offering 1 MS SQL Server database and if you want to then they charge twice the price. The problem is I have heard you can use your own database for the memberships, roles, etc and have other tables for your other stuff. It's just I don't know and can't find the steps to do this.

Hi, feel like i might be headed for peril
i changed the appplication name on a aspnetdb equipped mdf (SQL express) , but have another similar mdf (SQL express) in a different web application, this database has the same applicationID in the "aspnetdb" tables,
these are meant to be two different web applications running under IIS, the root folder name for each web application is also different. also the mdf (SQL express) names are different as well
but still feel like i might be headed for jeporadry, ie does IIS want a unique applicationID for each asnpnetdb equipped mdf, or is the applicationID only applicable to the mdf it is in and the web application the mdf is running under??

Hi,
I am building a web site that requires authentication and offers role-based services. The standard login controls provide ample functionality for authentication and role definition as well as some additional info (e.g. e-mail addresses) that I need.
I also need to create my own tables to contain my business data, which in many cases it tied to the logged in user, e.g. I may need to SELECT fields from my own tables WHERE users are in a specific role.
Since the login controls use ASPNETDB.MDF I wonder if I should create my application's tables inside that database to make is easier to pull information from existing tables and my own tables.
Or shuold I instead create a different database for my logic and then write code to stitch the data together from both databases?
Another alternative I can think of is to build my own database that contains my business and authentication tables, then build a custom authentication provider on top of it.
Are there any performance caveats/benefits to these approaches?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

In developing a VWDE project I added 2 columns to the User table in the ASPNETDB.mdf database. I can see the columns in the Data Definition and I can see the values I added when I Show Table Data but I cannot access them with a SQLDataSource control? The SQLDataSource shows all of the columns in that table except the ones I added. Any suggestions? Thanks.
