I've spent the last 5 hours attempting to load the .mdf database I have set up on my local development machine on my Windows Server 2012 w/ IIS 8 server to no avail.
Note: I'm currently trying to get this to run on LocalDB, but if I could get it running on my SQLEXPRESS instance that'd be just fine as well (might be prefered if it is simpler).
My current error: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Cannot create an automatic instance. See the Windows Application event log for error details.
)
The Website: .net 4.5, x86, using SimpleMembership
I've copied over my *.mdf file from my dev project to the App_Data folder on the server. If I delete the files here, they ARE created but then get a different error.
applicationHost.config:
<add name="Dashboard" enable32BitAppOnWin64="true" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" managedPipelineMode="Integrated">
