PUBLISHING

Question

I started this publishing process about a month ago.  First I was informed that its as simple as a click on the build menu.  This was useful and got me started.  I discovered some run-time errors in the course of executing a task.  I was moving my task and other information via FTP to my server.  The menu I have built executes fine and the only problem I have is in running simple task involving sqlserver express.  I should also note that everything works fine on my local server.  I eliminated a couple of runtime errors by merely setting the framework to 4.0 on the providing host machine  (as it is on my own).  Finally, I got a clean bill of health when I clicked "PUBLISH".  A website directory labeled as precompiled was created.  I ftp'd the webfile in that directory to my host.  Result was as shown below.  This indicated to me that at least I am when I tried on the server, was missing connection strings information that I believe is included in the "WEB.CONFIG" file.  One of my problems is understanding what is supposed to happen when I "Publish".

Moving on as if I know what I am doing, I FTP'd my WEB file to the remote and at least changed the error  (profuse output pasted in below).  Don't know where to go from here.  All that I am looking for is how to configure the application to run the sqlserver related task.  This is all I have sought from the get-go, and no one has given me a working answer.  

My partial server dump is pasted below below.  Below that, is my web.config file.  If someone can glean anything from what I have said and conveyed, I will be appreciative.  I will welcome offers to consult for pay as well.
