Hi there,

I am trying to deploy my first app and I am getting the "Login failed for user " error. Can you take a look and let me know what the problem is? The application URL is http://manup.apphb.com/.

Thanks.

   I change the connection string to the one supplied by App Harbor and it started working so it seems that my connection string is not being replaced by AppHarbor. What can I do to make sure that my connection string gets replaced when I push my code to AppHarbor? Connection string name in both the places is exactly the same.

   Thanks.

   Have you correctly configured the connectionstring name, as discussed here and described here?

   Yes, the above two links point to the same page and it just says to make the connectionstring name on AppHarbor the same as it is in our config file and I have done the same but still, it's not picking it up.

   Sorry, I wanted to link to this discussion: http://support.appharbor.com/discussions/problems/104-connection-st...

   I've just tested the connecstring replacement, and it works on our end. Did you name the connectionstring element correctly?

   Thanks for the links.

   I have double checked the connection string name and it is exactly the same and I still haven't found any other parameters that need to be set after going through the documentation and discussion.

   You have made it quite simple and after reading the document one feels that connection string will be automatically replace if the connection string is the same but this thing has taken the most time for me. Please take a look at my web.config if you need to and let me know.

   Thanks.

    If I inspect the web.config of the currently deployed application, the "ManupContext" is pointing at an AppHarbor database called db2028. The database associated with the application is called db2031 however.

    The db2031 database was created at 13:22 UTC, sometime after the currently deployed build (created at 12:55). I'm assuming you deleted db2028 and created a new database for the application without redeploying. AppHarbor will currently only replace connectionstrings on deploys. To get the connectionstring for you new database inserted, you will have to trigger a build.

    We're working on changing this, so that configuration files can be modified by AppHarbor while the app is running.

    Let us know if this doesn't resolve you issue.

    That did it. I couldn't have guessed it by myself. Thanks a lot.
