Login fails with ASP.NET membership

[Albert83]

Hi, I am using asp.net built in membership mechanism for registration and login in. I recently transferred a website to a different hosting including the sql server database. After transferring the website all the previous user who registered now can't login with their user name and password. Password recovery says that the user name doesn't exist. However, new account registration works and there is no problem logging in with the new account. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thank you for the time.

Sounds obvious. Your SQL migration did not work, the data for old users was lost.

The username is in the database. That's the thing. I checked it. When I try to register same user it throws a duplicate record error for the username. That's a confirmation that it's in the db.

This was resolved. Thanks.

The initial response was correct the asp membership data was not transferred. It was another table that showed the error.

Thanks for the answer.

Actually the data was in the tables. The application name in web.config should match the applicaion name in the asp_applications table.
