I am using Entity Framework in ASP.Net project. It works fine in development server. But it throws exceptions in IIS 7. I am using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise as the backend.
Entity Framework Connection String in the web.config follows
<connectionStrings>
<add name="NorthwindEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/App_Code.Model.csdl|res://*/App_Code.Model.ssdl|res://*/App_Code.Model.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=GIRI-PC\GIRISQL2008;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
The error I get in iis 7 is:
System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'.

Do you have any idea about this problem?
More clearly: SQL Server client could make contact with the specified instance of SQL Server ("GIRI-PC\GIRISQL2008").
This could be:
Lack of a common protocol
Need to specify a different TCP port for IP
Server instance is not listening on the network port your connection is using
Host name could not be resolved (or is wrong)
Instance name is wrong
The specific problem is Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool. Sounds like you need to properly configure either; your app pool to use an account that has access to the database, create a new app pool with an account that has access to the database, or allow the DefaultAppPool identity to access the database.
The Database Server the website is trying to access is GIRI-PC\GIRISQL2008. If that is not correct you'll need to; update your web.config to point to the correct Sql Server (and instance) or create web.config transformations (preferred) to keep your development settings and deployment settings (dev, test, stage, prod) seperated.

I have developed a web app in MVC 5 with the Database First approach.
When hosting the app I get an error "Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances."
The thing is that this only happens when I host the application on the server. When ran locally there are no errors. I am not sure what is causing this error as I am using an online database connection,not local mdf file. From what research I've done on this error I can only find examples where people have used a local database.
Below is the web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=***.***.***.**,1434;Initial Catalog=tsp13amp_tsp136;User Id=******;Password=******;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;" />
<add name="TSPEntities" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.TSPEntities.csdl|res://*/Models.TSPEntities.ssdl|res://*/Models.TSPEntities.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=***.***.***.**,1434;Initial Catalog=tsp13amp_tsp136;User Id=******;Password=******;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"" />
And the stacktrace as I can't seem to make head or tails of it:
[SqlException (0x80131904): Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances.]

It's is possible this feature is disabled on the server, use following script on the database server to activate it:

Looks like the problem is in your connection string. Try this connection string instead...

You're trying to connect directly to the database file, and SQL Server is using it.
I realise there's a lot of 'solutions' out there but none that have resolved my issue.
I have recently created a website and am using iis7.5/sql server 2008 on the production machine.
My database connects on my dev server but does not on the productin machine. My dev machine is sql express 2008.
Here's the connection:
<add name="PingtreeEntities"
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"
connectionString="metadata=
res://*/;
provider=System.Data.SqlClient;
provider connection string="
Data Source=localhost;
Initial Catalog=Pingtree;
Integrated Security=False;
User Id=PingtreeUser;
Password=*********;
MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" />
This is the message I get:

I have tried removing EF out of the equation by using a straight connection but still get the same message with a slightly different stack.
Starting to tear my hair out. Help!
Let me insist. Please try to DROP and CREATE both login and db-user in this way:
(note that you must change the password to the one you use)
-- Drop & recreate login
USE [master]
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.syslogins WHERE name = N'PingtreeUser')
DROP LOGIN [PingtreeUser];
GO
CREATE LOGIN [PingtreeUser]
WITH
PASSWORD=N'password',
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[Pingtree],
CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
-- Drop & recreate db-user
USE [Pingtree]
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'PingtreeUser')
DROP USER [PingtreeUser];
GO
CREATE USER [PingtreeUser] FOR LOGIN [PingtreeUser]
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'PingtreeUser'
GO
The most obvious explanation would be the simplest: that you have the wrong password for that account on that database server. I assume you've verified that
The account exists on the SQL 2008 server;
You can log in using the password you're using?
Also, why are you referring to "localhost" on the production machine? Is your database on the same machine as your web server? (Not necessarily a good idea.) Either way, you need to use the database server name, not the machine's name on the network.
Make sure that the PingtreeUser has the necessary permissions for the Pingtree database.
In MS SQL Server Management Studio, login using sa account or via Windows Authentication
Expand .\SQLEXPRESS > Security > Logins folder
Double-click PingtreeUser
Make sure that Default database is Pingtree
Click User Mapping on the left
Make sure Pingtree database is checked
On the bottom part, check db_owner
Click Ok
This should give PingtreeUser the necessary permissions to access the Pingtree database.
I need to setup a site to work with a local IIS 7 server (running windows 7). And I get a permissions error stating that I should setup write permission on the App_Data folder.
Where do I do this? Do I do this through IIS 7 management, or windows explorer?

http://localhost:10000/Account/Register.aspx?ReturnUrl=

Another possible answer for IIS 7.5+ (Windows Server 2008) is to allow write by the group "IIS_IUSRS". I believe this group even incorporates the IIS 8+ AppPool users, so its a much more durable way to ensure write access to App_Data
C:\inetpub\wwwroot> icacls App_Data /grant IIS_IUSRS:M
processed file: App_Data
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
C:\inetpub\wwwroot>
I had to setup the site to use application pass-through, and then change the application pool to use NetworkService.
If your application pool uses ApplicationPoolIdentity which is recommended and default you need to grant permissions to IIS AppPool\YourAppPoolName.
See also
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities
Note that the ApplicationPoolIdentity is a virtual, local account for each application pool which is not part of the SAM database. So some applications refuse to select this accounts.
Note also that old, discontinued IIS releases did not provide the ApplicationPoolIdentity feature.
I´m developing a web service that access a SQL Express database, it works very well in the Visual Studio host but when i deploy it to IIS 7.5 i get this exception.
Please help me.

The account that your app's application pool in IIS is running as needs write access to the App_Data folder where your database file (mdf) is stored. E.g. if the app pool is configured to run as Network Service, give permissions to that account on App_Data folder.
When you run in the VS host your app is running as your user account which has access to App_Data.
You are using RANU, SQL Express user instances. See more details about them at SQL Server 2005 Express Edition User Instances. RANU creates a new instance for each user connecting to the original SQL Express instance, and the new user instance runs under the user credentials. In this case, it will create an user instance under the ASP AppPool identity, and trying to create this user instance hits the error:
Failed to generate a user instance of
SQL Server due to failure in
retrieving the user's local
application data path. Please make
sure the user has a local user profile
on the computer.
So, if you insist on using user instances, make sure the app pool identity has a profile on the IIS host. But it would be way more beneficial and easier if you abandon user instances, just use the SQL Express instance directly.
