Keyword not supported: 'server'

For Entity Framework (database-first or model-first; when you have a physical EDMX model file) you need to use a special type of connection string which is quite different from the straight ADO.NET connection strings everyone else has mentioned so far...

The connection string must look something like:

<add name="testEntities"      connectionString="metadata=res://*/Model1.csdl|res://*/Model1.ssdl|res://*/Model1.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=(local);initial catalog=test;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework""      providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Inside this connection string, you'll find the provider connection string= attribute which is basically your ADO.NET connection string:

provider connection string="data source=(local);initial catalog=test;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework"" 

So here, you need to change your server name and possibly other settings.

• data source=.... stands for your server (you can also use server=.....)
• initial catalog=..... stands for your database (you can also use database=....)

In MVC5 using EntityFramework 6.xx and Code First Approach

I had the same problem and I solved this by modifying my providerName

from

 providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"

to

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

I always either run a connection wizard to build my string or I use connectionstrings.com.

Assuming SQL Server:

Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Comparing to yours it is very different.

Server=xx.xx.xxx.xxx,xxxx;Database=AlBayan;Uid=bayan;Password=xxxxx;
