I get hte error "Access denied creating App_Data subdirectory "

Here is the detail of the error. What should I do?

Description: For security reasons, the identity 'NETWORK SERVICE' (under which this web application is running), does not have permissions to create the App_Data subdirectory within the application root directory. ASP.NET stores the Microsoft SQL Express Database file used for services such as Membership and Profile in the App_Data subdirectory of your application

Hi Lingling,

This may possibly help.

In your web.config, replace the line

<connectionStrings/>

with

<connectionStrings>
 <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
 <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=jorya_aspnetdb"/>
</connectionStrings>

Hopefully, this will tell ASP.NET to use the aspnetdb.mdf  in your database folder rather than app_data.  

Good luck,
Mike.

Mike's answer will help only if SQLEXPRESS is the server actually being used.  

I got this error because I had started with a boilerplate basic MVC app from the wizard in Visual Studio 2010, but I wanted to use an existing SQL Server database for application data and authentication.  I changed the auto-generated connection string to indicate my server rather than SQL Express, but I forgot to specify Integrated Security.  Since my DB uses Windows authentication, this caused an error.
