Question

I am creating an app on APPHARBOR and I have an entity model for querying the SQL server. The following String is givving me error:

<add name="TraxzDBEntities" 
           connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.DBModel.csdl|res://*/Models.DBModel.ssdl|res://*/Models.DBModel.msl;
           provider=System.Data.SqlClient;
           provider connection string='Data Source=d5d3955e-1183-4e10-8892-9f9d005af0a8.sqlserver.sequelizer.com;
           User ID=**; 
           Password=**;
           Initial Catalog=dbd5d3955e11834e1088929f9d005af0a8;Integrated Security=true;
           MultipleActiveResultSets=True'"
      providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Answer 1

There is seemingly some other connect string being used here. Are you setting a connect string in code as well?
in your asp.net mvc project what are all the connect strings in the web.config? Just the above?

Search your entire solution for the word “server”
