OK, I start a project under version 5.4.4 and noticed a critical updated was need so I backup data and site and updated with success.  I completed the site locally on a vm tied to sql server 2005.  Then I moved the site to the production server running sql 2005, I created the db and restored the database then connected my local vm to the production db to make sure everything is ok.  Now the funny part, the database started to run an update again to 5.5.1, which ran successful, but when I went to the home page all the content was gone!  It's like a fresh build.  I can see the data in the database but can't get to it.  Any idea's?

Thanks

most likely the connection string did not match the database. validate both connection strings in your web.config and make sure, the machinekey value has not been altered.

if you are running full sql server version, access using database.mdf is not supported, you need to attach the database and specify database name and user credentials.
