URGENT & TRICKY: code for membership/profile fails when published to webserver

V

VB Programmer

I would appreciate your assistance on this ASP.NET 2.0 site....

This is the wierd problem: While accessing the built in .NET functions for
'profiling' or 'membership' an error is generated (see following 2
examples):

---- EXAMPLE 1 --------
OK --> Dim p As New ProfileCommon
OK --> p = Profile.GetProfile(Me.ddlRacer.SelectedItem.Text)
FAILS --> Me.lblDebug.Text = p.FirstName.ToString

---- EXAMPLE 2 --------
OK --> Dim u As MembershipUser
FAILS --> u =
System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(Me.ddlRacer.SelectedItem.Text)

These lines work perfectly locally. They fail after my site is published to
the webserver. I really feel this is a server related issue. Perhaps these
"libraries" are not installed correctly or something? Any ideas?

The error message is misleading and says this:

error received:
----------------------------------
server error in '/' application.

What this means is that your hoster or site already has this database
attached (probably their default one). You'll need to either rename your
database and make the appropriate config changes, or work out the details
with them.

But the wierd thing is I can access the data on other pages with no problem.
As a test I made a simple gridview shoping aspnet_users and aspnet_profile
and it showed up fine. It was only when I tried to access the membership or
profile stuff via code that it gave me this error. There are dropdownlists
that are showing the data fine.

Still think it's the db name? I'll give it a try....

I renamed the db to something VERY unique, changed the web.config, etc...

After I published the site I got the same error.

Any more ideas?

Thanks.

Yes, renaming to "whatever.mdf" is half the equation; the configuration entry
that specifies it must be changed to match as well. I'd consult with
"WebHost4Life" - whoever they are.

If the guys are any good at all they should be ready, willing and able to
help you sort it out, assuming they expect to earn their monthly fee or
whatever it is.

Here's a blog entry that may provide some insight:

I renamed the db to something VERY unique, changed the web.config, etc...

After I published the site I got the same error.

If the error you receive is still the one about an already attached DB of the same name, how have you modified the web.config file? It needs to have a <connectionStrings></connectionStrings> section and in that section you need the following tags (in order):
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="data source=YourServerandInstance;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|YourAppDB.mdf;User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Obviously, you'll need to modify the server/instance and mdf values. The key is that ASPNET uses the "LocalSqlServer" connection string to do its authorization, etc.

Thanks Peter. I've been consulting with them for a week and they finally
now "support sqlexpress". But, they haven't been able to assist yet.

I haven't been able to find a good reference on how to change the default
ASPNETDB.MDF name. I believe I need to create a new SQLExpress provider
with the new name, etc... but haven't been able to find the info pertaining
to this. Of course, I don't have access to their machine.config so
everything would go in the web.config I believe.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions...

Thanks!

Yes, renaming to "whatever.mdf" is half the equation; the configuration
entry
that specifies it must be changed to match as well. I'd consult with
"WebHost4Life" - whoever they are.

If the guys are any good at all they should be ready, willing and able to
help you sort it out, assuming they expect to earn their monthly fee or
whatever it is.

Here's a blog entry that may provide some insight:

But the wierd thing is I can access the data on other pages with no
problem. As a test I made a simple gridview shoping aspnet_users and
aspnet_profile and it showed up fine. It was only when I tried to
access
the membership or profile stuff via code that it gave me this error.
There are dropdownlists that are showing the data fine.

Still think it's the db name? I'll give it a try....

What this means is that your hoster or site already has this database

I would appreciate your assistance on this ASP.NET 2.0 site....

This is the wierd problem: While accessing the built in .NET

'profiling' or 'membership' an error is generated (see following 2
examples):

---- EXAMPLE 1 --------
OK --> Dim p As New ProfileCommon
OK --> p = Profile.GetProfile(Me.ddlRacer.SelectedItem.Text)
FAILS --> Me.lblDebug.Text = p.FirstName.ToString

---- EXAMPLE 2 --------
OK --> Dim u As MembershipUser
FAILS --> u =

THAT WORKED KEN!!!!

I followed what you said, uploaded the precompiled site, then REMOVED "User
Instance=true" and it works now.

Thanks again!

Ha, this is a hoot Peter.

I think *you* better check with *your* server administrator "whoever that
is" because I selected the URL to read the article you referred to and the
URL was not found by blogger's server.

You know, if their guys are any good at all they should be ready, willing
and able to help you sort it out, assuming they expect to earn their monthly
fee or whatever it is.
