SqlException: User does not have permission to perform this action.
- by Oskar Kjellin
I have been using my website (ASP.NET MVC) in visual studio but now I want to host it on my server. I published from visual studio onto the network share to be used. The server is running Windows Home Server, IIS 6 and SQL Server 2008 R2 (express).
In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I've attached the database and made sure that the user IUSR_SERVER is owner of the db. I also made sure that the user Network Service has access.
The Web Site is configured in IIS to run anonymously as IUSR_SERVER. I have granted write and read access to IUSR_SERVER as well as Network Service and made sure that nothing is read only.
The web.config has this connectionstring:
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="ApplicationServices" />
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=MyDatebase"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
However, I cannot browse my web site. I only get this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
User does not have permission to
perform this action. Description: An

Feels like I've tried everything. Would be very grateful for your aid in this.
