Wow! Why didn't I look to this forum first. I've been tearing my hair out trying to solve a problem and I belive the answer lies here although I am perhaps too ignorant to see it. If the answer to this question is already here please excuse my failure to understand what I am reading. Anyway to the question: I have deployed my Church web site to my GoDaddy.com host. Currently it is in a folder off of the root by itself for testing purposes and I would like to take it live. I am getting an error message that points to the line in the web config roleManager enabeled = "true". I suspect the issue is in the connection to my database MDF which is deployed in the appdata folder. In chapter 16 you discuss changes to the connection string required which make sense although individual page datasources may yet bite me once I get past the other problems. I am including a copy of the web config in the hopes that someone can point out the errors. I really appreciate someone looking at this! Thanks in advance. Here is the web config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
    <connectionStrings>
    <!--LOCALHOST
    <add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=&quot;E:\My Documents\My Webs\BransonUMC06\App_Data\ASPNETDB.MDF&quot;;Inte grated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  -->

    <add name="ASPNETDBConnectionString" connectionString="Server=connection string provided by GoDaddy;

Any help with this would be very much appreciated!

It Works! The site is up and running thanks to Imar and various other blogs and such. SQL 2K deployment does work. Later...
