I am trying to login to my mvc5 web application and receiving this error. I believe that the database with the users was not attached properly when the site was published. It was attached to a database that was created on the hosting (arvixe) at first. I am wondering either how to connect a local database or how to solve this problem. Under preview it states "No databases are selected to publish."
This is the info in the web.config file
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-WebApplication3-20150820065620.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebApplication3-20150820065620;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

This is the error that I am receiving when attempting to login
