how to solve HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error? - asp.net-mvc-4

I have been working on project in MVC4. It was running, but after a while I got the error below. I tried to figure it out and removed those duplicate entity framework entries. But it does not connect with the database. How can I solve this issue?

// this the web config file which available in my project. I coudn't find the duplicate entity framework there when I opened and checked it.

If you could post your web.config (remove any credential type stuff), that would help.
But the message looks pretty clear. You have a duplicate entity framework section.
The lines it showed you in the error message are the relevant lines it's talking about.
If you go into your web.config, you will probably see two sections that look something like
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
Just remove one of them and try again.

web Api 2.0 Connection string

My web API, using EF Code first, works in my local system but
when I upload this to a remote server, it doesn't work and gives this error:
An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error
settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could,
however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Source File:
d:\HostingSpaces-----.com----.com\wwwroot\Publish-API-V2\web.config
Line: 66
Line 66 is about the connection string. Here is my web.config:

Why do I get this error, and how can I fix it?

there is no roleManager tag in web.config

I am using Asp.Net with MVC4.
This is my Seed method:
protected override void Seed(eManager.Web.Infrastructure.DepartmentDB context)
{
context.Departments.AddOrUpdate(d => d.Name,
new Department() { Name = "Engineering" },
new Department() { Name = "Sales"},
new Department() { Name = "Shipping"},
new Department() { Name = "Human Resources"});
if (!Roles.RoleExists("Admin"))
{
Roles.CreateRole("Admin");
}
if (Membership.GetUser("Majid") == null)
{
Membership.CreateUser("Majid", "221230");
Roles.AddUserToRole("Majid", "Admin");
}
}
and this is my web.config:

but there is no roleManager tag and when I run update-database command it says that
The Role Manager feature has not been enabled
Can somebody please tell me what I have to do??
If it is not there, why not just add it:
Update:
<roleManager enabled="true">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" />
<add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
I think I have the Solution for it, I know it's late but it'll surely help new learners
This Issue is coming because your Solution doesn't have the correct DLL.
So their is no need for any code pasting,
Just go to your Nuget Packages and
Search for MVCInstaller.MVC4 Package and
Install it.
Make sure you check your Web.Config File again, because it won't overwrite the Lines, Instead it'll Add New Lines. So don't forget to Remove older Ones.
You're Ready to use your Command!

MVC4 500 error rolemanager

I do not have rolemanager enabled on my website and somehow I have gotten a 500 error talking about RoleManager which is very confusing and I been at it for 6 hours trying to figure out how to solve this error. This error first appeared when I logged into my website and then while being logged in I submitted I edited a form and the error popped up.
Module RoleManager
Notification AuthenticateRequest
Handler ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0
Error Code 0x00000000
Requested URL http://www.mywebsite.com:80/
Physical Path E:\HostingSpaces\myspace\website.com\wwwroot
Logon User Anonymous**
Logon Method Anonymous**
Thats what the 500 error says somehow I think this is maybe related to the web.config rolemanager which is for mines. This is my web.config anyone that has some suggestions please let me know my whole website is down because of this. Ohh and the website works great in visual developer.

Any help is really really appreciated. Thank in advance
Have you tried using the NuGet packages?
http://nuget.org/packages/MySql.Data
http://nuget.org/packages/MySQL.Data.Entities
... they should make sure that right bits go where they are needed. You can use NuGet package restore to avoid pushing the package contents to AppHarbor.
I just saw that the reason of this exception in my case were the differt versions between dll and the configuration entry.
So, sometimes the dll you actually have (either installed by nuget or other way) differs from the entry in the node of the app.config.
This section, if not in app.config, can be also found under
Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
and nearby folders.
Changing version in the entry to version of the dll solved the issue.
For me, my nuget doesnt add the necessary Dlls in the my project/bin. So copy pasting the all the missing DLLs from the package folder to bin folder solves this problem.
Thanks, I think the db provider factories in the web.config is the fix
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />

Roles.GetRolesForUser(); does not seem to work in MVC 4

I'm trying to create a new MVC 4 internet site using the internet template provided in VS2012. I am able to register users for the site and successfully log in and log out. I can see that the SimpleMembership has created 5 tables (UserProfile, webpages_Membership, webpages_OAuthMembership, webpages_Roles, webpages_UsersInRoles) and the logins that I created through the site have been put into the correct places (correct as I expect them anyway!)
What I am having trouble with is roles of users. Firstly I don't seem to be able to use the old ASP.NET configuration page - it takes forever to load and then when it finally does it gives this error when you click the security link:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
and this error when you try to do the provider configuration
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I tried running aspnet_regsql which created the old style membership tables along side the newer ones that the site had already created when I registered my first user.
so to get around that problem as far as creating roles was concerned I put a role into the database myself and put a user in the role. Now running the site I cannot use Roles.GetRolesForUser() either as it also says "Unable to connect to SQL Server database" while debugging (and the YOD gives a null ref exception).
I notice in web.config that there is no longer a section about membership/roles providers etc that used to be there (eg if you make an MVC 3 internet application)
I have been searching for answers for days can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?
Here is my web.config (with a connection string removed)

I have just found a post by Jon Galloway that talks about this exact situation. He only posted it yesterday!!!
You should set the membership and role providers in web.config.
<system.web>
<roleManager enabled="true">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="MyAspNetDB"
applicationName="/SampleRolesApp"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
<membership>
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="MyAspNetDB"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
