Security :: Website Administration Tool / Error Could Not Establish A Connection To The Database
Nov 15, 2010
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 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?

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
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.SQLEXPRESS;DataBase=AspNetServicesDB;Uid=AspNetServicesUser;Pwd=password"/>
</connectionStrings>

I'm very new to ASP.Net, but I've put together a reasonable site. I have used the user account and rolls which come with VS.
This all works fine for me, but I want to be able to change user's rolls and folder security when the site is live.
Is there any way of accessing the ASP.Net Web Site Administration Tool once the site has been moved to a production server?
If not is there any easy way to accomplish this other than write pages to do this yourself?

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).

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've created an ASP.Net 4.0 web application. It uses Forms Authentication. I have an ASPNETDB.mdf file in my App_Data folder courtesy of SQLEXPRESS. I have appropriate settings in my web.config for connection strings and providers (since I know it will be asked for:
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;
AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>).
I have roles and users setup. I have been running this with absolutely no problems in both my dev environment (i.e. Cassini) and on a "production" (not really, but a machine that was published to). And the "production" machine still has no problems.
So, everything has been working perfectly fine until early this afternoon and all of a sudden it all stopped. The only things I did from when it worked until it stopped was: I connected to and checked in all my code to a TFS server (2010) and then I updated namespaces all around. I have not made any changes to my web.config since it worked, nor to the database. I'm really not sure what happened. Oh, and the "production" machine never got the namespace updates. But, it did get a publish immediately before I uploaded everything into TFS.
It started with me getting a login failure in my app. I know the login is correct (it still works on the published system). So, I went into the Website Admin Tool and clicked onProvider Configuration -> Select a single provider... -> Click on Test next to AspNetSqlProvider (only option). I get back an error: "Could not establish a connection to the database." So, this tells me that for some reason, it can't see my database. All my roles and users still show up though in Security.
Since these two actions, I have wiped out all my code locally and refreshed from the first changeset in TFS. Still no workie. I still get the "Could not establish..." in WAT. Every post I can find online keeps talking about connectionStrings and database configuration (i.e. aspnet_regsql). However, since this was just working with no issues, I'm pretty sure none of these are my problem. Especially since I refreshed my code to an earlier "working" state (prior to namespace changes) to no effect.
I am not yet at the point that I'm willing to wipe my database and start over. Again, because this was working before. I have noticed and read several posts by Sukumar Raju among others (including his blog posts, one here) and none of them helped or were quite related to my specific issue. Good information, but not what I needed.
I'm sure something went offline somewhere and I can't see it. I did check to make sure that the SQLEXPRESS services (including Browser, etc.) were started. Even restarted them to no avail. I'm sure it has to be something simple and I'm just missing it somewhere.

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.
