Default Role Provider could not be found asp.net

Question

In my web config file I gave written this block of code

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="AspNetSqlRoleProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear/>
    <add connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/AltuaWebsite" name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider"/>
    <add applicationName="/AltuaWebsite" name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider"/>
  </providers>
</roleManager>

I am getting this error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: The connection name 'ApplicationServices' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Anyone knows what the issue is?

The error is stating that there is no connection by the name of ApplicationServices.

You will need to add it to the web.config, as an example:

<connectionStrings> 
     <add name="ApplicationServices" 
     connectionString="[connection info here]" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
