Entityframework data-migrations was raising "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred"

For some very strange reason when I was issuing the "Update-Database" command in the Package Manager Console I was getting the following error:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

If I was running my application through the Console / Unit test it was working fine and creating the database and applying data migrations.

PM> update-database -verbose

Provided the clue!! Data migration was strangely connecting to .\SQLEXPRESS "(DataSource: .\SQLEXPRESS, Provider: System.Data.SqlClient, Origin: Configuration)."

This clue made me curious on why this was happening even though the connection string and app config were both correct.

The solution was:

Strangely the start up project was set to another DLL project and even though in the Package Manager Console I was selecting my Data project and issuing the Update-Database command it was trying to get the connection string from the startup project that even didn't have any connection string at all.

Just some silly error that can cause you headaches!!!!

IIS Express gives Access Denied error when debugging ASP.NET MVC - Stack Overflow

IIS Express gives Access Denied error when debugging ASP.NET MVC - Stack Overflow

After enabling Authorization and authentication in visual studio 2013 with Cassino (IIS express) was getting the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Access is denied. Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the requested URL.

Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication methods enabled on the Web server. Contact the Web server's administrator for additional assistance.

Solution:

The cause if had for this problem was IIS Express not allowing WindowsAuthentication. This can be enabled by setting

<windowsAuthentication enabled="true">

in the applicationhost.config file located at C:\Users[username]\Documents\IISExpress\config.
