Setting up ASP.NET Membership provider for an application

Question

I recently downloaded DotWiki which I plan on using for a support section for my companies website. The application itself has two different security modes "simple" and "full". Full uses an ASP.NET Membership provider for security. However when I run the following command (of course replacing [sql server] and such with proper information) I get a pretty big error.

aspnet_regsql -S [my computer name]\[sql server] -E -A all -d DotWiki

I get the following error when I run this.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regsql -S AGQAOFFICE\SQLSER
VER05 -E -A all -d DotWiki

Start adding the following features:
Membership
Profile
RoleManager
Personalization
SqlWebEventProvider

.
An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallMembership.sql'.
The SQL error number is 290 and the SqlException message is: Invalid EXECUTE sta
tement using object "Relation", method "SetUseVarDecimal".
SQL Server: [my computer name]\[sql server]
Database: [DotWiki]
SQL file loaded:

Any help would be appreciated :)

Answer 1

First of, please install the latest servicepack as splattne suggested, as the @@version you've mentioned is NOT sp2. See http://www.krell-software.com/mssql-builds.asp

Second, you can also install the required tables, sprocs and views directly. You can find scripts to run in SQL server here: %WINDOWS%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\

See this page for more information: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/040506-1.aspx

Answer 2

Which Service Pack do you have installed on SQL Server 2005? Seems it has been resolved with SP2 (the last one is Service Pack 3).

Answer 3

So the line that is actually getting the error would be this:

EXEC sp_tableoption N'aspnet_Membership', 'text in row', 3000

Invalid EXECUTE statement using object "Relation", method "SetUseVarDecimal"

I'm getting a lot of mixed results, updating to service pack 2 (which I already have). Also some people are saying it's a problem with the permissions. Nothing seems to work.

Answer 4

Is your database running in the correct Compatability Mode for SQL2005? That would be 90. Also make sure that you have ALTER permissions on the Relation table.
