Website AdministrationTool

I am trying to acces security tab of the Website Administration tool but i am getting the following error

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:The application domain in which the thread was running has been unloaded.

Could someone come to my rescue.

First off this question should be posted in the asp.net forums.

Here are couple of things I can think might be causing your problem. The security information is created in an sql express database. Make sure sql express is installed and running. If you are using sql server for the database there are 2 things you should check.

First the check the connection string in the webconfig file is correct.

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=databaseName;User ID=username; Pwd = yourpassword;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Second the database needs some extra tables and stored procedures for the security to work. aspnet_regsql will install them for you.
