Answer 1

If that's your entire web.config file, then the membership provider will be using an auto-created database in your App_Data folder, which relies on the server having SQL Express installed.

Since the SqlMembershipProvider can't connect to the database, the server you've deployed to doesn't have a local instance of SQL Express installed. You'll need to configure the provider to talk to a real database, which you'll have to create in advance.
