The website is on a subdomain called myroutine and contained in a folder /MyRoutine which is also set as an Application Starting Point. I copied the connection string when I created the database. Here's how it appears in my web.config:

Code:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=tcp:s14.winhost.com;Initial Catalog=DB_112092_myroutine;User ID=DB_112092_myroutine_user;Password=mypassword;Integrated Security=False;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

What am I doing wrong here?

 

Will do.

 

After a ton of confusion and hair-pulling over the connection strings I finally found the issue. Not really a permissions issue.

Turned out to be an issue with my SimpleMembership provider. The true error ended up showing on another page.

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider' to type 'WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleRoleProvider'.

To fix it you need to add the following to your web.config <system.web> element:

Code:

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SimpleRoleProvider">
     <providers>
        <add name="SimpleRoleProvider" type="WebMatrix.WebData.SimpleRoleProvider, WebMatrix.WebData" />
     </providers>
</roleManager>

 

Thanks for posting a follow up.
