so then i thought maybe if i upload the version i have been working on it might work - so, i did. used the same web.config file from the first instance of the install because it already had the <connectionstring> set up. I even tried running it on my local machine with this connection string and it loaded the items from the database on remote hosting without a problem (though very slowly - i hope this changes once the site is running on hosts sevrvers).
i set the subfolder as a 3.5 application, set all folders with full permissions but it returned the same error
NOPcommerce v 1.30
