“The transaction log for database is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'” in a shared host

Question

I have an Asp.Net MVC 5 website with EntityFramework codefirst approach in a shared hosting plan. It uses the open source WebbsitePanel for control panel and its SQL Server pane

Answer 1

This can also happen when the log file is restricted in size.

Right click database in Object Explorer

Select Properties

Select Files

On the log line, click the ellipsis in the Autogrowth / Maxsize column

Change/verify Maximum File Size is Unlimited.

After chaning to unlimited, database came back to life.
