Urgent Help Needed: deploying to web server results in Parser Error: ResourceDataProvider cannot be constructed
Where to start. I'm attempting to deploy my SF project from my development to a local web server. I'm running into a number of issues using Visual Studio's Publish functionality (right click solution name in solution explorer and select "Publish..." from context menu). Initially, it appeared that VS was ignoring a number of dlls in the bin folder. One of which (Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll) was causing Sitefinity skin exceptions. Not all that surprising since these weren't referenced assemblies. Specifically:
Interop.DexterLib.dll
Microsoft.Http.Extensions.dll
mysql.data.dll
Telerik.Licensing.dll
Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll
I manually copied over the files and was at least able to enter my license key info and get past the license confirmation screen.
The joy ends there. I'm immediately greeted with the following exception:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Parser Error

When I try to access the backend the dashboard main menu is all messed up (see attached image) with the following:
"Invalid resource:NewslettersResources.PageGroupNodeTitle" where the "Email Campaigns" menu item should be
"Invalid resource:EcommerceResources.EcommerceNodeTitle" where the "Ecommerce" menu item should be
"Invalid resource:AnalyticsResources.AnalyticsTitle" where the "Analytics" menu item should be
As you might guess everyting is fine on my development machine. Not sure what to try at this point. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Of course we're supposed to go live on Monday at 00:00.

Looks like most of this was the result of missing folder permissions for the app pool. Granting the app pool approproate permissions to the root and App_Data folder seems to have done the trick.
