Actually me am using Azure and facing the same issue, my app was previously working well, but over a sudden I got this same error, yet my connections strings are correct. Am using version 8.1.2
I ended up deleting all uncommitted changes and it started working again, I believe it was something to do with Forms migrations, as that came up a couple of times.
On comparing the uncommitted changes and the base there was nothing in the files that should have caused this. Nothing touching forms, nor the db connections.
SOVLED - V8 A connection string is configured but Umbraco could not connect to the database.
I created a demo page yesterday, and uploaded it to smarterasp.net today, and the site that works in localhost gets the following error when live;
Anyone got any tips on how to fix this?
Hi Bianca
This usually pertains to the connection string in the sites web.config cannot connect to the Umbraco database.
I would first check that the connections string is pointing to the correct DB and has the correct username and password to connect.
If you look in the log files it should give you more information about the problem, this is usually in your App_Data folder
I was able to fix the problem by re-uploading it, but thanks for the tips!

I had the same issue, everything is correct and unchanged, suddenly the connection string stops working.
Hi Damien
Are you able to have a look in the Log files to see if it gives any more information?
Nothing useful was in the log files.
