Only one configSections element allowed per config file and if present must be the first child of the root configuration element
The error message itself actually details the correct fix:
configSections
must be the first child* of the root element:
*emphasis added
So just move the configSections
to the top:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="Reva.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
The Error web.config File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SQLConnect"
connectionString="Data Source=SAHIL; Initial Catalog=Demo; Integrated Security=SSPI"

</connectionStrings>
<configSections>
<sectionnamesectionname="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework,

</configSections>

The Error Was
To fix the error, I rearranged the elements and the error was fixed.
