following error message:

I'd try putting a known good web.config file. You might have a syntax error
in yours.

Make sure you do not have any non Alphabet characters in your path (such
as # or non English)
-c:\c#\myProj won't work change to c:\css\MyProj .... and magic :)

When I run the asp.net website administration tool from Visual Studio, and click the Security tab, I always get that it cannot connect to sql server. What if I want to use Active Directory? Shouldn't there be an option for that? I know I have seen the Active Directory option online in many tutorials. I am guessing I clicked something wayback that turned that option off. How do I get that option back? Thank you for any help.
