Has anyone gotten the Club starter kit working on Godaddy? I'm having trouble using the Web Config tool with GoDaddy.
I receive this error
Provider Management
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I don't know that GoDaddy allows access to the web site admin tool. They imply that you have to manually edit user records to put them in the admin group.
If you find out differently, please post how to access it.
If you have a shared hosting account with GoDaddy, they do not allow remote connections to the SQL database. There work around is at
http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=688&topic_id , although its for the personal starter kit it will also work for the Club kit.
You can create your own Admin page and run them server side also. I am in the process of creating one for my site now.
Unfortunately I have given up on GoDaddy. My client did not want to deal with the time constraints of the Club starterkit, so I figured I could use a DNN site and whip them up a site fast. Surprise GoDaddy offers DNN, but fail to tell you its stored on
a different server and you can not access the source for editing (not good). Trying to upload one I created on my local machine was a nightmare because of their restrictions on access to the database.
Anyway I switched to CrystalTech web hosting
http://www.crystaltech.com and although I get less site disk space (1gig vs 10gig) for the money I get more SQL disk space (200mb vs 100mb) and complete acces to my database and IIS configuration. I had the site up and running in 2 hrs and never had to
call support once.
Bottom line if you are serious about developing a site beyond its original setup good luck if you stay with GoDaddy.
I am again working with the Club starter kit and have created a Admin Folder and pages to
1. add edit or delete users roles
2. activate/deactivate or lock out users
I am now working on a page to enter or update the smtp and other settings.
If you are a GoDaddy customer and would like to try it let me know, I am no longer with them for development but for there pricing I would use them for finished work.
Yeah.. I need some help on this. I'm pretty much a newbie to ASP.NET, and am having trouble getting it to work on my GoDaddy account. I'm using the club kit, and I get an error when I try to load the page. Maybe you could help... here is the website:

If you could help a newbie out, I'd appreciate it and gladly return the favor 10 fold once I figure all this ASP.NET stuff out. :)

I'd be happy to test it out if you like! =)
GoDaddy might like to see it too - maybe they'd buy it from you just to get rid of all the "why can't I do this" calls....
Thx.

Yoy need to set your custom errors mode to off in web.config.
<customErrors mode="off" />
This will allow you to see what is causing the problem.

Hi,
actually it should be Off. The web.config, like any xml file, is case sensitive.
