Object reference not set to an instance of an object

  1. I have a web loaded at www.iengtech.com and got the error message as below. However it works when the identical package is deployed to the local host. When I did the tests both at the local and at the server ends, I always have the database connected to the server at Winhost. I tried by recycling the application pool, but no good luck. Can anybody help me on this?
    Server Error in '/' Application.

    Check the connection string in the web.config file you've uploaded. You're still referencing your local database.
     
  3. I did the debug and made sure the connection string is always directing to the same remote server. I used SQL Server Manager Studio and connected to the remote server with the same connection string. But no good luck yet.
    I also recreated the MVC projects because I was thinking that there might be some version mismatch of DLLs. Still the same error message.
