To accomplish this you must run a SQL script on your aspnetdb database and, second you must modify your web.config file settings. Microsoft has a download for the sql modifications that must be made to the aspnetdb. Here's a link to the Microsoft download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2EE85ED4-7613-47E2-8375-17222B150E4F&displaylang=en Run the Microsoft SQL script on your aspnetdb database (use query analyzer to do so) and it will add the tables personal.mdf contains in your aspnetdb.mdf file. Next you need to modify your section in your web.config to point to just one database. Thus both the LocalSqlServer and Personal connection strings need to point to aspnetdb.

I think I have found that the issue is with my hosting provider. Eventhough they state I am unable to setup my root folder as an application folder, by moving my site to this location I was able to get to my other pages using the sitemap.

Second - Is your only problem related to your sitemap or are there other issues as well? I wonder because perhaps your subfolder is not setup correctly as an app folder? Third - You could try getting a free trial hosting account from the guys at aspkit.net and testing your website there to confirm that the issue is isolated to your current hosting provider. If none of that works - you can email me some of your site files to admin@aspstarterkit.com and I can take a look. Brian – First have you tried using just Default.aspx, etc without the ~/?

All of my site map nodes use the "~/" in front of the page name. Like this: url="~/Default.aspx". My hosting account does not allow my root folder to be setup as an application folder, so I have a subfolder and have all of my pages within there. My Domain name is configured to point to that subfolder as its root folder. I'm not sure what other information to give you, but I appreciate any help you can give me...

Relative references should still work for you. Post specifics of your setup/ sitemap if you would like more help. Are you using relative or absolute sitemap referneces?

When I publish my site to my hosting provider I must place it in a sub-folder, since they do not allow me to setup the root or home folder as an application directory through IIS. My problem is that the links within the sitemap do not work. They work fine on my development computer though. Some how there is an extra folder in there. Instead of seeing www.mysite.com/page.aspx, I see www.mysite.com/myfolder/page.aspx. I feel like I have been banging my head against the wall and nothing seems to be fixing it.
