    I have so many details floating around in my head... I'm going to try to make this lean...

     

    I have an application, within which are several other applications.

    The main application contains the css friendly dll in its bin folder and the browsers file in App_Browsers.

    Running locally, everything is great.

    Running on the server everything is great except for one sub-application: the one using the Media control.

    I get the following error:

    Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.
    File activation failure. The physical file name "[LOCALPATH]\aspnetdb_log.ldf" may be incorrect.     

     

    If I remove the css friendly dll and .browsers file, everything is cool... except that it looks terrible.

    If I put those 2 files back in, the site ceases to work.

    If I try to delete [LOCALPATH]\aspnetdb.mdf, I get a "file in use error."

    the .ldf is present in the same folder.

    Any hints on what I can do to get rid of this and still keep the adapter? (I do not want the aspnetdb files at all if possible...)

    Thanks,

    jim

     Ok, so I got it fixed...

    I copied the application to a new folder excluding App_Data, App_Browsers, and the cssFriendly.dll.

    Changed IIS to point to this new folder, and everything worked (except for the ugly menu due to no cssFriendly)

    I added the .dll and .browsers files back to my application and the App_Data folder was created with a new .mdf file, and I got the error again about accessing the .ldf file.

    I copied the old .ldf file to the new App_Data folder, and it worked.

    But I was not at all happy with that, so I removed App_Data, App_Browsers and the dll again.

    Modified my web.config to clear the default membership provider:

         <membership>
          <providers>
            <clear/>
            <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="[MY_CONNECTION_STRING]" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""/>
          </providers>
        </membership>

    Everything ran smoothly with that added...

    So I added the .browsers and .dll files back to the application; it ran again w/o recreating the .mdf and .ldf files and now everything works.
