Error trying to initialize Membership Services!
Possible reasons:
  • You have not set a valid connection string to Membership Services:
    Check the Membership connection string in the Web.config in the application root:
    <connectionStrings>
      <add name = SitefinityMembership
             connectionString = "[Membership Connection string]"
             providerName = "System.Data.SqlClient">
    </connectionStrings>

  • There are no Membership database objects:
    To create the Membership database objects in SQL Server Database, run C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<versionNumber>\aspnet_regsql.exe tool. For more information about using aspnet_regsql.exe, refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms229862.aspx

  • The ASPNET user does not have appropriate permissions to the Membership Database

Please restart the ASP.NET application so that changes take effect!
