CMS Role Provider Error

My site is off due to the CMSRoleProvider error. What should I do now?

It is usually enough to restart the application. Since you are unable to reach the Site Manager with this error, you can do that an alternative way: by making a small change in your web.config file (it can be a 1 character space somewhere). Afterwards, your site will be restarted and should be up and running.

Please see the following detailed error message to check if this article applies to you:
