Hi, are you sure the connection string name is LocalSqlServer?

In a standard EPiServer installation I think the name of the connectionString is EPiServerDB:

<connectionStrings>
   <add name="EPiServerDB" connectionString="the connection string" providerName=System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Solution:

Add <clear /> before DefaultProfileProvider

    <profile defaultProvider="DefaultProfileProvider">      
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="DefaultProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultProfileProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" connectionStringName="EPiServerDB" applicationName="/" />
      </providers>
    </profile>

Thanks
