Why won't my ASP.NET Web Site Admin Tool work?

Asked by pbenito in Visual Studio .NET 2005, Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Hi,
 
    I have Visual Studio 2005 installed and I am in the process of setting users and roles for a WCF web sevice.  I had VS 2005 installed but NOT SQL Server Express.  I installed SQL Server Express 2005 and ran the aspnet_regsql tool.  After running the tool I inserted the below connection string in my web.config file.  When I start the ASP.NET Web Site Admin Tool through VS 2005, I get the tool's home page with "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again. "  When I click on "How do I use this tool" in the upper right hand corner, it redirects me to a page with the error:

"Tool Has Timed Out

As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool."


I have not changed the web.config since the original addition of the connection string and I have stopped and restarted the Web Site Admin Tool multiple times.  I've also open and closed VS many times.  

Can anyone help me with this issue?
