Forms Authentication Configuration

[psychlog203]

I am having trouble getting Forms Authentication to work when the site is hosted on discountasp.net. My database is also hosted by discount asp.net.

I am able to authenticate when I run my project locally and use my discountasp.net connection string, but when I run the web application on the live server I only get a timeout when trying to authenicate.

I have no trouble accessing my non-restricted aspx pages.

Anyone have a similar issue?

Actually, this does not appear to be a Form Authentication issue. I do not seem to be able to access my database at all!

What exactly is happening is there an error message?

Is your application not able to access your database or are you not able to access your database at all?

This sounds more like something our support team should help you out with. You should open a ticket through our support portal (https://support.discountasp.net/Main/Default.aspx).

I can connect with a sql client, so it is just my application. I just get a timeout whenever I try to access the database. My application runs locally using the same connection string. I will try a support ticket.

I discovered that I still had a bad connection string in my application. Everything is working now that I fixed that one.

Cool, glad you got it to work for you.
