Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.





I was hoping I would just login to the page. http://beta-149717.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/Members/Materials.aspx
First you get redirected to the login.asps. Add any password and the problem happens. I suppose there is problem accessing the database.


AnyHelp would be greatly appreciated.

 

Are you restricting authorization in your web.config? Post your web.config so we can help.

 

ROOT


<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
<roleManager enabled="true"/>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

MEMBERS FOLDER




- <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">


- <system.web>


- <authorization>


<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>

 

In this case, you will need to update your web.config for form base authentication. You can find information here: http://beta.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/security/formsauth.aspx

 

I have the same error message with Personal Website Starter kit.
The authentication is already set to Forms. So I don't think this is related to authentication problem.
I think it is a database problem. It's either the database folder does not have enough permission which I don't think is the case with our hosting or sql express 2005 not installed on the server.

Can anyone confirm that we can use .mdf database on this beta hosting server?

Does the version matter? I'm using sql server 2005 June CTP on my local pc and the website works ok. Maybe the one installed on the server is a different version?
