[Solved] ORM problems with Rackspace Cloud Sites

[damian breland]

Hello,

I have an Asp.NET application running ORM 2010.1 on a shared hosting account.  I am trying to migrate the app to Rackspace Cloud Sites.  They have two different addresses for the MsSQL DB server depending in you are running from external or internal to their network.  I can connect fine from my dev machine (external), but not when I deploy the app to their network.  The request times out while trying to initialize ObjectScopeProvider.  I have tried many configuration combinations to try to get this working.  I have also tried upgrading to 2010.2 with no luck. 

I have also built another solution (split web/class projects) with the new domain model functionality.  Same problem - cannot initialize context.  I have built a test page that loads a RadGrid from a SQLDataSource, which works fine (internally & externally).

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?  Any issues with runtime vs design time database addresses?  Anyone running on Rackspace cloud Sites with ORM?

Thanks - Damian

The issue ended up being related to Medium Trust.  Both old and new hosts seemed to have the same permissions, but obviously not.  Alexander @ Telerik very helpful - thanks. 

All better now...
