  1. My application is located in my root folder.

    I have a web.config file with a custom role manager.

    When I try to look at my hosted site a get the error message :

    Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

    Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

    Source Error:

    Line 158: <roleManager>
    Line 159: <providers>
    Line 160: <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="/" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=**************"/>
    Line 161: <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=************"/>
    Line 162: </providers>

    The thing is this is nothing like what I have in my web.config file, nowhere do I reference connection name 'LocalSqlServer' in my web.config file. My role manager section of my web.config is :

    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="myCustomRoleProvider">
    <providers>
    <add connectionStringName="myOwnConnectionString" name="myCustomRoleProvider"
    type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" applicationName="myOwnApp" />
    </providers>
    </roleManager>

    ...so why am I getting the error message about having connection name 'LocalSqlServer' in my web.config file when I have not got this in my web.config file?
