Is LocalSqlServer necessary for web.config connection string???

All my SQLDataSources reference the "ConnectionString" in my web.config.
Everything works on my dev machine.

When I uploaded everything to the server the db stuff would NOT work until I
added a "<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>" and "<add name=LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="......" to the web.config.

Why is this?

I don't even refer to "LocalSqlServer" in my project!

"LocalSqlServer" is the default connection.
If you don't want to use it, or you need to re-define it, you must remove it.
