I am running Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on Windows 8 64bit and I following an MVC tutorial to access Web Site Administration Tool
I finally figured out how to access Web Configuration Tool from here
Visual Studio 2013 and ASP.NET Web Configuration Tool
This is what I get (blacked-out current user name)
But when I click Security I get 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: Server cannot access application directory 'C:\ASP\AuthenticationAuthorization\AuthenticationAuthorization\AuthenticationAuthorization.csproj\'. The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.
And I am researching how to enable role manager feature from here
Mvc Runtime error - The Role Manager feature has not been enabled
But I cannot find <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="DefaultRoleProvider">
anywhere in the web.config
How do I troubleshoot this issue so I can access Security link? I can access Application Configuration and Provider Configuration.
EDIT
I click "Choose Data Store" and "Select a single provider for all site management data".
And when I click "Test" I get, even though the database I am connected to is MS SQL Server 2012
And when I click "Run the program without getting help" I get another error
Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
But I already ran aspnet_regsql and a database was created. I even reflected this in the web.config file,
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=10.10.10.11;
Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;
Persist Security Info=True;
User ID=sem5;
Password=Plaintext-Password" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
