Uploading ASP.NET 3.5 website

Question

I have a website writen in ASP.NET and C#.

The site works when run locally, however I don't have any experience with uploading. Recently I got a free hosting package from somee.com and am currently trying to upload it.

Basically, the pages that don't require database connection work, the ones that do don't. So, I've created a database on somee.com and attached my database to that. I've tested it through somee.com control panel with a couple of querys and it works fine.

So I believe the site is uploaded correctly, database works also. I figure it must be a connection problem. In my codebehind, every database connection uses the web.config connection string. I believe there is a problem somewhere in the web.config file, specifically with the connection string.

I have replaced my connection string with the connection string generated by the somee.com control panel which is:

<add name="feniks_dbConnectionString"
connectionString="workstation id=SQLEXPRESS003.mssql.somee.com;packet size=4096;user id=*;pwd=*;data source=SQLEXPRESS003.mssql.somee.com;persist security info=False;initial catalog=SQLEXPRESS003"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I've marked my id and pass with *. I keep getting the same error, you can try it yourself on http://aspsitetest.somee.com/index.aspx.

Answer 1

Error on page not about sql-connect - it writes about wrong web.config

search for duplicate:

There is a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section defined 

If the same web.config works on local machine, maybe you use another version of IIS.

Answer 2

whatever it was.. it's working now... must have been an issue with somee.com :) thanks anyway!!!
