I just uploaded my Umbraco website to my server, but I'm getting the following error when trying to access it:

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Line 147:      </providers>

And there's no other information about the error. Anybody knows how to deal with this?

Thank you very much!

@KenWhite Ok, noted. Already edited my post. But all the information I got from the error it's in there, I have no other information from the error page. Do you have any idea about what this error could be? Thank you very much – Joao Guimaraes
Just solved the issue. For anyone that founds this kind of issue, you have to fix the permissions for files and folders in your server. – Joao Guimaraes

I got this error because I accidentally removed global.asax and packages.config from my Visual Studio solution. I restored these files from recycle bin and everything was fine again (think it was missing global.asax that was the culprit).

Just check the domain service settings, I am not clear about all the settings step but first of all you must set the target to 4.0(or on current) from the settings.
