DotNet: Yet Another Login Problem

  • I have read a few different posts regarding problems logging into the newly created site but none are really what I have experienced. After I have created my new site and added the user Administrator and copied the site over to my IIS server, I can not log in. I don't get any ASP errors or anything, it just says

    "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again"

    I have made sure the password is correct and that the user is indeed active. Also, I of course do not have any problems when running through VS2005

    Thanks in advance!

    1. If anyone could even just point me in the right direction. The biggest problem is that I don't have any error messages to look at.

    2. Let me try this again...

      I *think* I am using sqlexpress... and in the web.config, it is set up to use sqlexpress by default. I have tried changing the permissions on the app_data folder to allow write, modify, read permissions for the user ASPNET. The application works through VS2005 but not through IIS. To get the site uploaded, I simply said to send to the local IIS as the default site. I made sure to copy EVERYTHING over. The only error I am getting from the site is the standard invalid username/password, the application isn't breaking so to speak.

      Is there something I need to do on the IIS side for the application to start working? This is a new install of IIS and ASP.net v2.0 and already had a run in with ASP.net v2.0 not being the primary asp...

      Thanks in advance

    3. Well.. here is how I fixed my problem. Would someone tell me if this is an alright thing to do or a security concern?

      I added write and modify permissions for the user IIS_WPG to the app_data folder.

      Thanks in advance,
      Robert
