CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'. when publishing to web server - asp.net

Question

I know that this question was asked so many times but none of the theme worked for me.
I have published a mvc website to a plesk control panel web server but I continuously get this error:
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
Can anyone tell me what's going on ? I spent three days and tried everything.
here is my connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="application" connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=bug.mdf;Integrated Security=false; User ID=admin;Password=###############" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Error:

Answer 1

The error is entirely straight-forward. Your application is attempting to create a database and the database user it's connecting with does not have that permission. As to why that's occurring, it's difficult to say with the infomation provided. Assuming you're not actually attempting to explicitly create a database in your code, it's most likely due to the database initialization strategy set on your context. The default is to attempt to create the database if it does not exist. As a result, you should ensure that the instance you're connecting to does indeed have the database your application is attempting to work with.
You could also simply give the DB user permission to create the database, but that would be an extremely bad idea, security wise. Your web application's DB user should always have the most limited set of permissions possible, basically just SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, and maybe not even all of those. You might need EXECUTE as well in some scenarios, but you can grant that on an object-by-object basis, rather than globally.

Answer 2

I think you are missing the database name i.e initial catalog in your connection string
<connectionStrings>
<add name="application" connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=NameOFDB; Integrated Security=false; User ID=admin;Password=#slfsl$4554sll%" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
