Installation :: Web Site Administration Tool Fail / Could Not Establish A Connection To The Database
May 14, 2010
I am using sqlserver express 2008 (Microsoft Web Platform Installer) and visual studio 10 professionnel.
I am also using last Silverlight4_Tools.exe.
When i enter in Web Site Administration Tool / security I obtain this error
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may in diagnosing the problem:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
When I try userprovider
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 building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
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.
Getting error: "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 not usign SQL Express
1. Installed VS2008 + sp1 after that Installed SQL 2008 Standard x86 + sp1
2. Used aspnet_regsql to add aspnetdb to the sql (I can see that db in MSSMS)
3. From my WebProject I can access WSAT but when I click on the Provider and try to test I am getting above error.
Tried diffetent settings in the web.config and also check machine.config Check different solutions form different forums but nothing seams to work.
I strongly believe there is something wrong with my <connectionString/> as by default WSAT points to .SQLEXPRESS but I do not know which file should I update (web.config or machine.config or Web.config)
Do I need to add <connectionStrig> tag to web.config ?
I have a question with this tool. I have a database listed in the App_folder, and the database has a connection in Server explorer. The connection string is listed in the web.config file, and I am able to add users and roles with the Web Admin Tool. However,when in the Web Admin Tool, under Configuration tab, I receive an error when I click on the "test" button. The error reads " 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 have run aspnet_regsql.exe beaucoup times and it creates the database aspnetdb.db. I have created it in my primary database connection and in the SQLExpress connection.
Then I open Visual Studio 2008 and run the ASP.net Web Site Configuration Tool. I click on Provider tab and select Select a single provider for all site management data. The provider shown is AspNetSqlProvider. A book that I'm reading says it should be aspnetdb.
When I click on the test link, I get the following message
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.
In my book, it looks like the aspnetdb database should appear in the app_Data folder of my web site. What is supposed to put it there? Does it get moved from the SQL Server Data folder?
I created a database in my local sql server, and ran aspnet_regsql.exe on it, which created all the user and membership tables. However, when I click on the "Asp.Net Configuration" button in VS (2010), it open the Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool, but with an error that say "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." (of course there's no "previous page". What is one to do here? My solution consist of several class libraries (domain, contracts, services, etc, etc) and a Asp.net MVC project. In my web (mvc) project's web.config, my connectionstrings looks as follows (just guessing this matters):
i am trynig to connect to sql server 2005 express with Web Site Administration Tool in visual studio 2008 but i got this error in security tab: There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
i have already checked following links and done all hint but nothing [URL] i have MSSQLSERVER running but i can not run SQLEXPRESS
login control portion of Murach's web dev w/ c# book. According to the books instructions, you create a Login.aspx page, add the login control to the page, and create the users and roles for the directories within the asp.net web site configuration tool. I still do not get prompted for user name and passord to access the pages I want to be secured. Why is this? Isn't the asp.net configuration tool supposed to edit the web.config file? I'm trying to follow the book to the letter and ensure that I am following correctly before posting for answers online. According to the book you do not have to edit anything or write code withing login.aspx page.
I get the following error while running ASP.Net Web site administration tool: ASP.Net Web site administration tool I am using visual web developer 2008 express edition and windows XP pro version 2002 service pack 3. I am following Microsoft Visual web developer 2008 express edition by Eric Griffin and in chapter 4 I need to use the administrator tool to set up passwords.
I have just installed Visual Studio 2010 trial. Previously I have been using Visual Studio Web Developer 2010 Express. Now every time I try to invoke the ASP.net Cofiguration tool either via the icon or through the Project File Menu item, I get the error message "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." I am trying to develop a bog standard Silverlight Business Application. There are no other diagnostics. Is there anywhere I can look for more clues or anything else to do to alleviate the problem? or is this something peculiar to the trial version I am using?
I also think it might have something to do with the fact that I have created this Silverlight Business App on a directory on my D: drive and not the normal, default c: drive path and maybe the web sit admin tool is looking somewhere else. Could this have something to do with it? If so what is my remedy?
Is anyone able to see Web Site --> ASP.NET Configuration if you are creating a web application using File --> New Project --> Visual C# --> Web. If so, how and where?
Base on what I've tried, the menu Web Site --> ASP.Net Configuration appears only if you create a website by File --> New Website.
What I am actually trying to find is the Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT).
I recently installed VWDE 2010 and SQLE 2008 R2 and have built a basic site, but when I try to launch the Web Site Administration Tool, it fails to come up in a browser window. The server starts and I can right click on that and choose "Open in Web Browser", but when I do that an error message immediately shows up saying, an error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again with no other information given. When I click on "How do I Use this Tool?" in the top-right corner of the window, it immediately says the following:
Tool Has Timed Out
As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool. The same message immediately comes up no matter what tab I click on. I have searched the internet and have made sure that the path doesn't have any spaces or non-alphabetic characters, run aspnet_regsql, restarted the IDE as well as the computer, but nothing works.
I Have a problem here with Visual Web devoloper 2010 , When I click the "Asp.net Configuration" , the browser doesn't open the Web Site Administration Tool but the icon does appear in the notification area , on right clicking the icon it opens up the Web Site Administration Tool in the browser and displays "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
On the other hand I don't have any issues using "Asp.net Configuration" with Visual Web Devoloper 2008
Does anyone know how to get to work the authentication mechanism configured using Web Site Administration Tool under Linux running Mono? Is it even possible?

I am have problem getting the security selection to view properly. Instead of getting roles and so on I get this following error message:There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
need a simple video that can expalin me the simple connection between a web form and sql db i am a begineer, i am learning all the things from these website, i need a video tutoorial that will explain me that how to create a simple form and simple database and conect them and manage those datas, can you people understand what i am expecting, for example, just a user login page with user name and password , and we have to store that details with a data base, and how to see the details what we stored, thats it and how to edit those details, atleast i need the first set of connection and manupulating video.
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 don't know where to go next as this error message does't give many leads. I have already configured that database with the aspnet_regsql tool. In SQL Mngt. Studio I can see that the database aspnetdb has been created. I'm not sure where to go from here. The only connection string in my web.config file is the one for connecting to my content database.
Currently I'm learning on one of Joe Stagner video "SEC-009-CreateMembershipSchema" I followed exactly as told except for that Joe's is building the database in his JoeStagner server and not JoeStagnerSQLEXPRESS. But in my case I built my database in my MACHINENAMESQLEXPRESS. Another different thing is Joe's using SQL Management 2005 and I'm using the free version of SQL management 2008.
So I followed every step, inch by inch but when I tried to run a test on the AspNetSqlProvider, I'm getting this error 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.
here's the connection string I added in just like in Joe's video
I'm having a problem, which I haven't had with other projects, in setting up membership. I have set up a aspnetdb database using the asp.net confirguration tool. The database is in the app data folder and I can set up users and roles etc from the web site administration tool. However, trying to log in within the application, using the login control I get "Login attempt was not successful".
I have noted the following :-
1. On the home page of the Web site administration tool the application:/ shows no application where as normally it would show the name of the application.
2. Clicking the AspNetSqlProvider test button, I get the error "could not establish a connection to the database"
3. Although various lines have been added to the web config file, no connection string has been created to the aspnetdb file in the app data folder.
4. If you right click on the aspnetdb file within the solution explorer, there is an option of "include in project". Selecting this doesn't however solve the problem.
I have sql server 2008 express edition. I'm trying to use the wsat to set up the provider but I keep getting the error:
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.
