Hello,

I had a problem in the Try It Out exercise on chapter 11. After adding the PlanetWrox.mdf and PlanetWrox_log.ldf files to App_Date folder, when I double clicked the database it took several seconds and then I saw the following message:

I've been through all the Try It Out exercised and the problem was solved. However, I solved the problem only after adding the "Network Service" account, while ASPNET account wasn't even there (After doing the whole aspnet_regiis -i procedure (I'm using XP)). Moreover, I couldn't see the "IUSR" / "IUSR_MachineName" accounts in the "Select Users or Groups" window. My question is - Why is it like this, and if there's any chance for future problems manipulating the DB (later in the book) because of that?

Hi there,

Do you have SQL Server Express installed on your local machine? If so, does it have SqlExpress as the instance name? What accounts did you configure for the App_Data folder? The Network Service account is used by SQL server as well, so if you've attached databases to this SQL server, you need to grant access for NS as well. Check out Appendix B for more info.

If this doesn't help / explain things, please provide more info about your setup of VWD, IIS, SQL Server, OS and so on, and when you run into problems exactly.

Cheers,

Imar
