Hi,
DNN does not run on my hosting solution whereas it works on my localhost, and I get the following error (please look at Web.config at the end of this post)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

LAst time I had this kind of error it was due to a dll that was not the correct version ... I would check that you have the dotnetnuke.dll from your development machine.

The error means that it can't find or load the dll or find the type. I think it is a general error that covers a multitude of problems all centred on the dll.

this isn't a DNN error but a compiler error on the webserver.

I had a similar issue. Check the path to your sqldataprovider and / or accessdataprovider. I got rid of the *dataproviders* part of the path in my web.config file (because I didn't actually have that physical path) and that error was taken care of
