Well I reinstalled 4.5.5 and it is working again. Still getting the errors though. I am unable to uncomment the trust level in web.config because the app breaks when I do that. I dont seem to be making progress with this. Please look at my config below and give me some advice. I have changed my db info to protect the innocent. I am sure those are correct though.
PS I am running remote on 1and1.com for those who asked.
