I have the asp.net web admin site setup on a box as a virtual directory, on 
a box that does not have vs2005.

I can get to the home page of the admin site, can edit and save app settings 
on the app tab, but when I go to the security tab I get:

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Value cannot be 
null. Parameter name: path

If I click the "choose data store" button, I can see my conn str pointing at 
sql db for users/roles, can 'test' it and the web says connected 
successfully.

This is running iis 6, I have defined the web to run in a special app pool 
as a specific user, and that user has full rights to the app web.config, and 
everything in the asp.net web admin web dir.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Derrick

and, the full message might be a little more helpfull

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an 
invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can 
also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the 
button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data 
store.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Value cannot be 
null. Parameter name: path

but like I said below, if i go to the page to choose a datastore, the one 
connection there is selected, and if I click 'test' it passes.  ??
