Web Site Administration Tool

D

dave

I am trying to use the Personal Web Site Starter Kit. I am planning on
showing my class how easy it is to create a website in VS 2005. Only I
am finding it not to be so easy. I am following the instructions on the
default.aspx page and they are as follows.

Creating an Administrative User
The first step you must take is to create an administrative user. The
administrative user has permission to upload photos and create albums.


To create an administrative user


Run the site at least once before proceeding. This ensures the
initialization of the Membership and Roles databases.
In the Website menu, click ASP.NET Configuration.
Click the Security tab.
Click Create user.
In the Create User box, type a user name, password, and e-mail address
for the administrator user. You must also provide a security question
and answer that is used to help you recover your password, if
necessary. In the Roles box, select both the Administrators and Friends
check boxes to make the user into an administrator and a member of the
Friends role. Click Create User.
Close the Web Site Administration Tool window.


But after I click on the Security tab, I get this message and I can't
proceed:


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.

Do I have to configur the Configuration tool?

Lost please help

Dave,

It does not help you, however I had the same problems as you.

Although that I don't take much time in it.

I wait until there is a final version before I go back to this.

I am not active in the newsgroup.

Microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

It is not impossible that it is been often there, so why don't you not try
it there.

I hope this helps something.

Cor
