OData DELETE request conflicts with ASP.NET MVC - asp.net-mvc

I have an MVC4 web webapplication running on my server and I have a ADO.NET Data Service (OData) service in the same directory.
Everything is working fine, my views can consume my OData service from client-side, but all the DELETE requests are failing with Error 500:
Exception type: InvalidOperationException

The issue is not related to missing C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013(MSVCP120.dll), as they are installed on the machine.
Actually, some PDF can be generated through the application, which makes me think there is something in the view that causes Wkhtmltopdf to stop working sometimes...
Any idea as to what causes this exception or how I could debug it?
(The Rotativa version is 1.6.4 I am using MVC5)
I found the solution after a number of trials and errors. This question also pointed me in the right direction. It is apparently an issue with wkhtmltopdf page breaking algorithm, and large table or HTML blocks. So, to solve my problem I changed my HTML into smaller chunks and it now works.

Rotativa PDF generation failure and web farm

I'm using both the ViewAsPDF and ActionAsPDF methods at different parts of the website and have deployed the code to our production servers. When I access the individual server IP addresses then the PDF's print as expected but when I use the URL which is load balanced across the servers, the PDF functionality fails with the following error:
Exception information:
Exception type: Exception
Exception message: Error: Failed loading page http://example.com/PDF (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore)
Exit with code 1 due to network error: UnknownNetworkError

A common solution to PDF generation is to add the msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll files to the same folder as wkhtmltopdf.exe but this hasn't made a difference.

Make sure that the local configuration is the same as the server you're using.
For example, if you're hosting in IIS, set up a local IIS server with the same settings as on your remote server.
If your 1and1 hosting is shared, then look at your local configuration, and get on the phone with 1and1 support to see what the differences are between the local and remote configuration.
It's possible that you'll have to upgrade to a VPS or Dedicated server depending on your configuration needs.
Edit
Will you please post the source of the mvc controller method that is being called? Also, the values of each member in the method when it runs on the server? That would help in the process of evaluating your question.
Also,
I just realized that lambda_method(Closure , ControllerBase , Object[] ) +119 is on the second line of the stack trace.
If the error is being thrown from a lambda expression it may be that the iteration item that you're using in the lambda method is set to null at some point. If you don't check for null in your lambda expression, try that. It's just a guess, but without source code, all we've got are guesses.

DotNetOpenAuth...CreatRequest breaks on server (Works on my machine ;-)

I've created a site based on the ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application. I have enabled the OpenAuth login providers for Twitter, Facebook and Google by following the instructions in AuthConfig.cs.
This works fine when the site is debugged on my local machine from Visual Studio on IIS Express. However, when I copy the site over to another machine, the entire site works fince, except anything that uses open auth.
On this machine I can access twitter, facebook and google using the browser.
When I try to log on using my site I get:
for Google: "Sequence contains no elements" with the stacktrace pointing at

PS. It's worth mentioning that we access the internet via a proxy, which is set up on the server in IE. I haven't found any code in the provided templates that let me specify proxy servers etc.
Help please.
I think I was able to resolve this issue. It turns out that our proxy server seems to have been the issue. I had the Application pool that was running this site in IIS configured to use NetworkServices as the Application Pool Identity. I changed the Identity to run as myself to see if the problem was resolved and it was. It's obviously not recommended to have a site run as a user account, so I will be requesting our IT team to create a domain account for this site, that also has access through our proxy servers.
I hope that helps someone else having the same problem.

MVC 4 ConnectionString on my godaddy hosting Error 166

I have published the website to my personal hosting, on my computers works good, but once is on my hosting I have an error, here are the connection string first: (I am using northwind to practice)

Try following the information in these GoDaddy articles:
Locating Your Database Connection Strings
Connecting to a SQL Server Database Using ASP.NET 3.5 (I realise you're using asp.net mvc 4 but maybe this will help)
If you need more help you should contact GoDaddy as this is too specific/localised for a StackOverflow question
