ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool

Question

User-434443194 posted

Hello,

I am trying to create memberships and roles. On Visual Web developer I goto Website-ASP.NET Configuaration. I click on security and I get the following error:

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:  The connection name 'ApplicationServices' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\WebSite1\web.config line 23)

This is my web.config file

EIDIT: I changed the connection String Name to: LocalSqlServer and I get this error:
