SQL Server :: How To Find Database After Uploading To Server

Firstly, here is the software I am using locally (which runs my program perfectly): vista home premium sp2vs2008 sp1sql server 2008 enterprise edition sp1iis 7 The server is using: sql server 2008 enterprise edition rtmiis 5.1 I encountered a problem days ago that I have so far been unable to fix. The project runs an asp.net web app perfectly locally. However when I uploaded the solution and the database to the server, it will not connect to the database.

I get the following error:

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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. SQLExpress database file auto-creation error: The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:

If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist. If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.

Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine. The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts. I thought that the problem was the connection string so I changed the connection string locally to connect to the server database, and it works. But whatever I try I cannot get the program to connect to the server database from the server's wwwroot.
