ASP.NET on Azure and Universal Membership Provider

Question

I want to transfer my asp.net webforms app to windows azure and now have problems with membership provider. I installed universal providers as Scott mentioned here. As soon as i want to register or login a user i am getting the following error:

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'defaultprovider'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.

Answer 1

Don't know how you ended up with lowercase defaultprovider, but according to this documentation, it should be with capital "P" - defaultProvider. Pay attention to the error message which suggests that the attribute names are case-sensitive!
