I cann't really find the statement for attaching aspnetdb.mdf. I don't where to find it. Is there any other web.config file in the C drive? Thanks for help!

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat Is The Best Way To Move My ASPNETDB.MDF From SQLExpress 2005 To Full SQL Server 2005
Apr 12, 2007Hi,
I have an ASPNETDB.MDF (asp.net membership/profile db) that was generated for SQL Express, it has user information I need to keep.
I have SQLExpress and full SQL Server 2005 running on the server. I want to remove SQL Express from the server.
So can I simply do a backup of the SQL Express membership db and restore it to full SQL and change the connection string in my app or
do i need to run the membership wizard on full sql and then do the backup / restore?
Or is there another way.
Thanks
Using Aspnetdb In SQL Server 2005 Standard
Dec 25, 2005Hi,
I am not using Express 2005 on my production server, rather I'm using SQL Server 2005 standard edition. So I have my site working perfectly on the development server, but once I publish it, the builtin aspnetdb that I use for logging in and such doesn't work.
I have another database my app uses and it works fine once I changed the connection string. So I think I just need to change the connection string all the fancy new login controls use. But I can't figure out how to do that.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Moved Aspnetdb To SQL Server - What Permissions Do I Need To Give The ASP IIS Service Account For That? (Getting: Cannot Open Database Aspnetdb Requested By The Login. The Login Failed.)
May 12, 2008I 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?
Problem Creating ASPNETDB Under SQL Server 2005
May 30, 2007Hi All... We're cloning an application currently under development on Server 2003 / SQL Server 2005 / dotnet 2.0. The clone's going to live on an XPSP2 box with SQL Server 2003 - it's for demo purposes... The application's able to get to our own database, but it's having a hard time creating the ASPNETDB that dot net likes to have.
Aside from the OS, the only difference between the two SQL Servers is that on the working system, we're using windows authentication on the database while on the non-working system, we're using SQL Server authentication. But we've tuned the connection strings appropriately - again, we can get to our own db just fine.
We have the following lines in our web.config:
<connectionstrings> <clear /> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionstring="Server=localhost; Database=ASPNETDB; UID=sa; PWD=mypassword" /></connectionstring>
On the working system, the Server is an actual IP address, integrated security is set to true, and of course the uid/pwd is a bit different. But again, using a very similar connection string, we able to get to OUR database on the non-working system...
The error we're getting at runtime is:
Cannot open database "ASPNETDB" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'sa'.
When we poke into the database from SQL Server Management Studio - on a remote machine - we can see our own database is there, but the ASPNETDB isnt there. Yet... I suspect it failing getting in to just create the db....
Any thoughts? Thanks for the help!!! -- Curt

ASPNETDB.MDF In Visual Studio 2005 --&&> ISP-hosted MS SQL
Mar 5, 2007
I am using (and making some enhancements to) the auto-generated ASPNETDB database in Visual Studio 2005. Now, I would like to deploy the application I have built (together with the data it contains and uses) to my ISP's ASP.NET 2.0 server and my freshly-purchased MS SQL database.
I haven't a clue how to do the above. Some other posts mention Entreprise Manager and Data Transformation Tools, but I really don't know where to start. I wonder if someone would be kind enough to go through each step in detail? Don't worry about sounding condescending... I really am a novice!
I apologise for the naivety of this message...!
Any and all help hugely appreciated!

Attach Db To Sql 2005 Express Edition
Sep 13, 2007My dog ate my sql2000 installation disk! After a recent xp installation I remembered that.
Now I'm in a hurry to get up and running with SQL again. I've installed SQL server 2005 express, but I can't attach any databases, or really do anything for that matter. I have a copy of SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition but that won't install on my development machine, Xp Sp2. Which way should I go, install SQL 2005 enterprise on a Win 2003 server or can I download something to administer the express version?
As always thanks for any and all replies!

Attach Database Problem - SQL Server Express 2005.
Dec 17, 2007I m facing a strange phenomenon.
Please refer to below points.
environment:
------------------
windows XP sp2
SQL Server 2005 express [log on as 'network service'(by default)]
programming language: VC++(MFC)
There is a sample database in .mdf format which to be attached to SQL Server.
Ist case:
------------
I add MASTERDSN (for master databse) to ODBC by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the sample DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
On verification from SQL Server management studio express, the DB attached is in read only mode.
II case:
----------
I add MASTERDSN using ODBC data source administrator manually.
Now I add MASTERDSN (again with same name) by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
Now on verification, the DB attached is not in read-only mode.
The problem is that why there is difference in behavior in both cases?
I want to get the sample DB attached in read-write mode in Ist case.
Hopefully waiting for ur response.

Unable To Attach DataBase In SQL Server 2005 Standard
May 6, 2007Now that everyone helped me install SQL Server, it's time to use it... then...
I'm trying to work my through the MS Press book ADO.Net Step by Step. After installing the practice files, there is a step to attach the sample database provided. Within the folder which contains the sample files, I'm told to execute an app which I believe was called "Config.exe". This app brings up a form with 3 text-boxes, to collect the Server Name, Database Name, as well as the Database MDF Filename. There are also 2 buttons, "Attach" and "Detach".
This book assumes, that SQL Server Express is installed. In the book, the author does mention that if this isn't the case, to adjust the Server Name as necessary.
(The following do not include the quotes, but you probably already knew that...)
In the form mentioned above, the default Server Name is "(local)SQLEXPRESS",
I changed this to "(local)MSSQLSERVER".
The next text-box for Database Name contains: "AdoStepbyStep"
The last text-box for Database MDF Filename contains: "c:ADO.NET 2.0 SBSSampleDBsAdoStepbyStep_Data.MDF"
The path/spelling of the text in the above is indeed correct. Clicking the "Attach" button, results in the following:
--- ERROR ---
Function: AttachDB
Description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]InvalidConnection.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).
I've never used SQL Server, so please any advice needs to be at a relatively elementary level. I've primarily been a mainframe programmer, so this is new to me.
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx in advance for any replies!!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedBackup/Restore Vs Attach/Detach 2000 Database To 2005
Jul 15, 2006I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,
Peter
