Interesting; it could be because of the authentication mechanism where IE authenticates against the WSAT and Chrome does not.

Thanks for posting a follow up!

Cheers,

I've tried multiple times, and am even now using a different port number and I receive an error message. People online said to comment out line 989 (shown below) and say to replace it with string appId = 1, but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

I never had to change this to get it to wok, so it may be something on your system. Did you see these posts:

http://forums.asp.net/t/2048682.aspx...s+Application+
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...iguration-tool

Someone suggests that Visual Studio (RCs) on the same machine caused the issue.

Also, did you try string appId = "1" instead of string appId = 1?

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar, thank you for the quick reply! I have just gotten back to this now.

I went back and changed line 989 to string appId = "1", and then followed the steps from the stackedoverflow link you posted and it worked!

For anyone else running into this issue, comment out line 989 using the directions with this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...its-protection

Then start command promt and follow these directions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...iguration-tool

For reference I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, Windows 10, and I used the Microsoft Edge browser. I was asked to login credentials, which are identical to those used to log on to your computer.

Hi there,

I am also stuck on Chapter 16, Page 614..

I have followed and implemented all of the solutions above but I am faced with this compiler error:

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0101: The namespace 'System.Web.Administration' already contains a definition for 'WebAdminPage'

Source Error:

Line 25: using System.Security.Permissions;
Line 26:
Line 27: public class WebAdminPage : Page {
Line 28: private const string APP_PATH = "WebAdminApplicationPath";
Line 29: private const string APP_PHYSICAL_PATH = "WebAdminPhysicalPath";

Source File: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP. NETWebAdminFiles\App_Code\WebAdminPage.cs Line: 27

I can start IIS from the command prompt and the prompt displays exactly as figure 16-16.

When I type in the URL into the browser I am faced with the compiler error. When I check the command prompt IIS is displaying:
Request Started: Get (then the URL) then
Request Ended: (then the URL) and with HTTP Status 500.0

I have tried this in IE and firefox.
I have tried it with an administrator account and with a standard windows account.

I would be very grateful if you could help, I have spent a good few hours tinkering now!

I am on Windows 10, with VS 2013 for Web.

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I've never seen this error. Besides your post, Google has one other result:http://forums.asp.net/t/974355.aspx?...stration+Tool+ where mahesh.shind suggests to remove / rename WebAdminPage.cs from that folder. Does that solve the issue?

Problem with step 3

I have type in to the cmd line

iisexpress.exe /path:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.3031 9\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles"/vpath:"/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /port:8082 /clr:4.0 /ntlm

I get "Invalid physical path."

I typed in cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP. NETWebAdminFiles

no problem finds path
what am I missing here?
my website is at E:\Websites\PlanetWroxII

Help with accessing database in ASP.NET Website Administration tool.
I got the website administration tool working. When I go to the security tab I get this message.
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: Access to the path 'C:\Users\PCAudioLabs User\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\�\4bd57d2d\9bf45fc8\hash' is denied.
Now my database does not sit in the App_Data folder.
It sits in F:\SQLDataBaseFiles\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.\MSSSQLSSERVER\MSSQL\Data
I am using SQLExpress 2014
When I tried to created the database in the App_Code folder but I had connections problems so I just created a sqlconnection in serverexplorer. Everything has worked fine to this point. Seems like I am missing a setting somewhere telling VS2013 Pro to look in the right place for the database when I try to use Web admin tool. I have been searching the web can not find a fix any thoughts would be appreciated.
