Hi,

I am getting below error when I select Empty template to create EpiServer Web Site by VS.

Also, no DB is created in App_Data. Only GeoLiteCity.dat file is created under this folder.

Please help.

Most of the time when I get this problem, I take the mdf and ldf files and adds them to my local SQL database (SQL Express works).

Not the best solution but at least a workaround that works for me.

Ensure your application App_data folder: C:\EpiDemos\PML\PML\App_Data\ has permissions so the database can be created. I normally add Everyone > all on a dev machine.

Try rynning as admin in VS? Are you also trying to add the project to for instance TFS at the same time? That procedure can lock files to be read only as well.

This issue may still occur if the user running the application, i.e. Visual studio doesn't have access to the app_data folder as David Knipe suggested. Ensure the user running the application has full access to the app_data folder by modifying the permissions.

Also, if this is a new project adding createDatabaseSchema="true" on the episerver.framework element may help unless you prefer updating the database manually by running the cmdlet 'Initialize-EPiDatabase' in the package manager console.

<episerver.framework createDatabaseSchema="true" updateDatabaseSchema="true">
...
</episerver.framework>
