无法正确连接到ASP.NET应用程序中的SQL Server

Question

I am trying to connect to a SQL Server database that already has all of the correct tables (among others) for using login credentials.

I have this code in my web.config file:

<connectionstrings>
   <add name="abcdCS" 
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" 
        connectionstring="Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=SCRUMAPIUI;Integrated Security=False;User ID=MYUSERNAME;Password=MYPASSWORD;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</connectionstrings>

and when I open Website Administration Tool > Security, I get the following error:

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: Unrecognized configuration section add. (C:\\Documents and Settings\\tunnelld\\My Documents\\Visual Studio 2010\\WebSites\\ZSRBlank\\web.config line 7)

I have been trying to fix this for 5 hours. When I go to Website Administration Tool > Provider and test it always says:

Successfully established a connection to the database.

Please help!

I have followed this tutorial exactly and get the same error: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/89029/Using-SQL-Membership-with-ASP-NET-application

I think there's a slight typo here. The property connectionstring in the add tag should actually be connectionString . Try this

<connectionstrings>
<add name="abcdCS" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=SERVERNAME;Initial Catalog=SCRUMAPIUI;Integrated Security=False;User ID=MYUSERNAME;Password=MYPASSWORD;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</connectionstrings>

If the server and database name are correct and the user credentials are correct it should work now. Also make sure that all your membership and role providers in your web config are now using your new connection string. Should look something like this.

 <membership>
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="abcdCS" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" />
  </providers>
</membership>

Also check that the role manager has been enabled.

<roleManager enabled="true">

Hope this helps. Good Luck...
