Answer
Option 1.
Line 14: <add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="data source=45.115.218.242,1433;Initial Catalog=BasicSMS;user id=sa;[email protected]#$" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />s
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />s Remove "s" from your code
There are some another cases
Option 2.
Usually this error comes when there is invalid syntax in web config file
Option 3.
You have a stray / next to one of your comments.
Option 4.
Make sure there's no stray character in the configuration file. It can be as "harmless" as a misplaced "-->" or extra ." or anything really minor.
Option 5.
Data Source=YourSQLServerName;Database=DatabaseName; uid=ServerUserID; pwd=YourServerPassword;",
