Error 26 on Login

There are a number of posts here on uploading a SQL database. My website seems to work fine in terms of pulling dynamic content from the SQL database. However, when I try to login to the backend of the site, it throws Error 26 - does not support a remote connection.

I use the basic VS2008 aspnetdb security and added a few additional tables to this database. I also use the exact same connection string provided by DASP...which seems to allow connection to at least the tables I created. Can someone provide some idea as to how to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

 

Hi,
The customers reporting these errors do have me wondering...
Can you post some additional information about where and how the error is resulting?
For example, an ASP.NET listview control, LING to SQL,etc.
Salute,

The error is thrown after entering the username and password on the login page. The other pages on the site can be fully accessed and are retrieving content from the database (same connection string).


However, from the home page when one hits the Staff: Login hyperlink, the person is redirected from the Admin/Start.aspx page to the Login.aspx page. Then one tries to enter their login creditials and I get the SQL Error 26. SQL does not support remote connections. Are you thinking that the problem has to do with the fact that the backend portion of the site is located in a different folder under the root directory?

 

A few things I'd look into would be web.config inheritance and possibly issues with a master page.
If you're only using one web.config and no master page I'm not sure what I'd check next.
