ASP.NET MVC 5 published via FTP does not see database - sql-server

Question

I published my website via FTP yesterday (WebDeploy not supported). The solution contains all files after the transfer. Website works up to the point when I open a page that grabs anything from the database. It the shows "Error. An error occurred while processing your request." I tried setting customErrors to "off" and debug to "true" but that does not seem to show me real error. Then i deleted all rows from migrations and set automatic migrations to false, re-uploaded website, same error. Locally website works fine, its just when i put it on server. My guess is that my poor knowledge of config file is the reason why something is off so I am uploading it here :

Thanks for any help and if you need other code just let me know I will post it

Please try this,
SQL Server Express can run in a shared hosting environment, but it was not designed for that, and many hosting providers do not support it.)
Go into your control panel and add a database, Make sure it has the name aspnet-DBNAME-20150715025453 Then add user to the database with user name and password.
Change your Connection string to look like the following but make sure you change the user name and password in it to match what you added to the database.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=YOUR_HOST;initial Catalog=DATABASE_NAME;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=USER_NAME;Password=PASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
If you do not want to pay extra money for SQL Server, then you will have to Enable migrations are enabled use Microsoft SQL Server Compact database. Here is a good readup. Link
