Hi everyone. New to 2.0 and having a hard time getting my site running on GoDaddy. I created the personal site, followed the step by step instructions on the GoDaddy site on installing the Personal Starter Kit, yet still getting an error. Can someone help please? THANKS!

Error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

after some more reading of the site and other posts, i tried some other things. turned out to be my directory settings on my host. i logged in, changed a directory feature and presto!

the database doesn;t seem to remember me though. i tried loggin in and it would not recognize my user accounts.

I had the same issues you had. I totally gave up on GoDaddy. They have too many restrictions and not enough flexibility, One, you can't run aspnet_regsql.exe against the database on their server which configures the starter kit database to ASP.NET tables and procedures. Two, won't let you do a remote connect to your databes using your SQL Server Manager and other stuff that are necessary for the ASP.NET administration piece to work.

I switched to webhost4life.com and I'm up and running. You can remotely connect to your database and run all the scripts you want. You can also run aspnet_regsql.exe against your remote database following a string of commands. I can now manage my website remotely, that is a user with admin access can upload pictures remotely.
