Hi,

I am writing a login functionality for my asp.net 2.0 website. I used
the Login control from the visual studio tool panel and drag it over
to my asp.net webpage. In my development pc, it works without any
error. I noticed that it creates the following in my App_Data folder

MyWebSiteName_log.LDF
MyWebSiteName.mdf
ASPNETDB.MDF
aspnetdb_log.ldf

When I migrate the App_Data folder over to the lunarpage domain and
test the login feature again, I get the following message. Any help is
greatly appreciated for this beginner.

Thanks for reading my post..
