I am trying to create a section of my web that requires login
I have all the files in the WWW Directory.
I have created a Private directory - which contains a single test page OK.aspx
I have put the login.aspx in the www directory.

on my pc (locally) I open up ok.aspx -> it redirects me to login.aspx -> I login -> I am directed back to ok.aspx.

I load the files to my domain and try it there & get

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

Specifically:

"Make sure you grant the folder "app_data" with read/write/execute/modify (or delete) permission on the Network Service user."

How Do I do this?? or more importantly where, which application? (I have Web Expression, Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 express)

This causes more errors but I think it is because I don't really understand it is this what I should have in the web.config file in the root(www) directory & do I need to edit the web.config files in the directories that I am protecting?
