I have been going crazy for days trying to deploy my DNN 7.1 dev site to a clean install on the production server. After solving one problem after another (such as new 7.1 big, the wrong version of Telerick.Web.UI, etc.) I have one last problem.

The home page and all public pages of my site now come up correctly but when I attempt to login with ANY Login ID, I get the Login Failed error. I have checked the Users and aspnet_Membership tables and everything looks exactly the same as the DB on my dev machine. By the way the new DB is an exact copy of dev (I did an attach of the mdf) and I have tried this numerous times.

I have tried numerous installs and this happens every dang time. How can I get this site up with the HOST login at least???

compare machine key in web.config between dev and prod, it sounds like there is a difference.

The machinekey defined in the web.config is used for encrypting passwords, so they must match if you have copied your dev DB to your prod environment.
