That's looking at machine.config, not web.config. You need to edit the connection string of the project to match the one needed by your remote webserver.

BTW You'll get better feedback by posting this in HTML, Graphics and Programming

Sounds like your using ASP User Roles from v2.

Thats a generic fall back error. Basically, you have no configuration set up for Roles in web.config. So asp.net will default to the machine.config.

You won't be able to edit the machine.config on a remote server. You can override the settings using web.config inside your web root.

You need to research asp.net roles from framework v2. That will give you some configuration settings about state persistence.
