Hi,
I am Juboe. I am new to this forum and have built my first website. I had trouble learning how to upload my database to my hosting server but I think finally figured it out.

So, I go to try it out and now the login page and after you input the username and password then hit login this happens. I went to the web.config page and looked at the code. Here it the configuration error:

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized element 'system.codedom'.

Source Error:

Line 11: <add name="********" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=********.mdf"></add>

You would think that it will be a simple soution with tags but i must be overlooking something because the open tags match the closing tags. Here is the actual code from my web.config page.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="*********" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\DATA\********\SQLEXPRESS_**********.mdf"></add>

<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider,System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" warningLevel="4">

<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
<providerOption name="OptionInfer" value="true"/>
<providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/></compiler></compilers>
</system.codedom>
</connectionStrings>

Can anyone see what I am missing?? Any help would be appreciated. I really need to get this website operational.

Thanks,
Juboe
