Hi.

The bugbase sample works great on my machine when I use the built-in Visual Web Developer server.

However, when I attempt to run the app under IIS, I always receive a DB connection error.

NOTE:

1. My web.config file is exactly as provided by the author.
2. Used the installer to install bugbase code.
3. Gave ASPNET user FULL (Administrator) privileges.
4. SQL Server Express is configured to accept remote connections.

Here's the error I get. (below) Any ideas? Thank you so much in advance.

Sorry. I fixed it. Gave IUSR account full control. A little extreme, but it worked.
