That almost always means that the urlauthority record in your portals table is not matching up to the url you are opening the site with.

The project and database from source should be set to localhost:4342 in both the project local webserver startup and in the portals table.

Paste what you have in your portals table for urlauthority, I may need to commit the database again as I think someone may have checked in a different urlauthority value.

I am astonished at such a fast reply. Thank you very much. I have the following values in my Portals table

1 Default 11 Default localhost:4342 ...xxx
13 Real Pen 11 RealPen localhost:4342x ...xxx
14 RSC Consulting 11 rsc localhost:4342x ..xxx
15 Sandbox 11 sandbox localhost:4342x ...xxx

I have cutshort the columns after URL Authority column to make it more readable. Please let me know if you want any other details.

When I debug, the _entities is null , trying to figure out where it should be loaded to make sure it is not null.

Thank you very much once again.

OK, that all looks right, what is the url in the browser when you get the error?

That doesn't sound right though that the _entities object is null, let me put a bad urlauthority value in my portals table and see if mine is null, don't think it should be.

Did you check your connection strings in web.config, that is another place you might be needing something. There are actually three connection strings, the standard one, the EF one, and the logging one, although not having the logging one set won't hurt anything.

The standard connection string is used by the membership provider so I imagine it is your EF string.

hehe, ya I have been checking the site often as I am patching things up from converting it to 2010 so I caught your question fast.

My browser url is

http://localhost:4342/

I initially changed two connection strings. My values are

<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=MvcCms;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=study"/>
<add name="MvcCmsEntities" connectionString="Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=MvcCms;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=study;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"/>
</connectionStrings>


As you said there will be three connection strings I searched and changed here also


<appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender">
<bufferSize value="1" />
<connectionType value="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, System.Data, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
<connectionString value="Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=MvcCms;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=study" />
<commandText value="INSERT INTO Log (Date,Thread,Level,Logger,Message,Exception) VALUES (@logdate, @thread, @loglevel, @logger, @message, @exception)" />
<parameter>

Thanks a lot for fastest reply.

There is some stuff missing from your EF connection string, the metadata stuff has to be there.

    <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=rsc1;Initial Catalog=MvcCms;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=rscsa;Password=password" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="MvcCmsEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://MvcCms.Data/MvcCmsDataModel.csdl|res://MvcCms.Data/MvcCmsDataModel.ssdl|res://MvcCms.Data/MvcCmsDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=rsc1;Initial Catalog=MvcCms;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=rscsa;Password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Try replacing what you have with those two and only change your password and data source, I assume you are not using sqlexpress?
