I just downloaded the Personal Website Starter Kit. After install, I chose to create a new personal website. I took a look at the web.config file and looks to be using to connection strings for connections. It will be connecting to the Personal.mdf and the
aspnetdb.mdf. The Personal.mdf file is in my App_Data folder. The aspnetdb.mdf file is not there. From the instructions, looks like this file might get auto-generated. I have tried running the project with Ctrl+F5. I get an error.
I am running on Windows XP Pro with Sql 2000 as default instance and Sql 2005 Express as an instance. Here is my web.config connnections:
Here is the error that I get when trying to view the site:
Server Error in '/WebSite1' Application.
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.
Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that
the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it
does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express
database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will
cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
