Problem using ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Roles

Question

Hi I have set-up my web app to use ASP.NET 2.0 membership and roles. It works OK on my local Windows XP Professional PC but when I upload the site to our Windows 2003 development server it doesn't. The local and development server web sites both point to the same SQL Server 2005 database (located on the development server). When I connect to the development server web site and enter my (correct) username and password using the Login Control I just get the standard message 'Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.' When I change the development server web.config to use no authentication or authorisation (i.e. remove the respective tags) then I can interact with the site fine. There's obviously some difference between the 2 machines but I cannot spot it. TIA Mark PS: Please copy in any replies to my email (mriley@acas.org.uk )

I've found a solution thanks to someone on another forum. The apsmet_Applications table stores the application name. This was different between the 2 machines. I've added an applicationName proprty in the web.config to a generic name and changed the entry in the table.
