I'm following a tutorial that says:
1 - The first step before adding ASP NET Identity is to disable the default authentication mechanism of the application server (IIS) because the framework uses its own. To do this, add the following configuration in the "system.web" section of the Web.config file:
<authentication mode="None" />
So, my web.config now looks like this:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="None" />
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
but when I try to run the application, I get the error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I tried to search for answers, but I found nothing. Specially considering that, as this computer is not mine, I can't do anything that requires admin permissions, so, I can't follow this guide to configure a virtual directory as IIS application .
Try the following steps:
Open IIS Manager
Expand the tree: Sites >> Default Web Site
Right click on your site and choose Convert to Application >> OK
I had the error, too.
The answer is:
"This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
A virtual directory being configured as an application in IIS. Just try it, and it will ok

If you have added this application to the sites in IIS then please for the development period change <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /> to <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" /> because IIS doesnot support debugging and in the Advanced Settings of the site in IIS be sure to change Application Pool to ASP.NETv4.0 and you will be done.
here is the error that is occuring at runtime

Create a virtual directory and see if that solves the problem:

Right-click project node in Solution Explorer Window and select Properties, then the Web tab and you should see a button to create a virtual directory for your site.

The answer to the first issue was this:
This usually means you have not configured the directory for your website as an application. Open up IIS Manager, find the root directory for your website (where web.config is), right click, and select "Convert to Application".
For the new issue, it's a problem of the .NET version. You either don't have asp.net 4.0 installed, or you have the application pool set to use the wrong framework. It's probably the latter, so go to the advanced setting for your site, select the Application Pool setting, and choose an Application Pool called ASP.NET 4.0, or any other that uses the 4.0 framework. If there aren't any, then you need to install .NET 4.0
Did you check if you have multiple web.configs in a sub directory somewhere?

ok i'm trying to put my asp.net website onto my university's web server but when visiting my webpage I get the following problem:

I can't get this working at all. I presume it's to do with the user security and roles I set up in Visual Studio but I have no idea about what to do to fix the problem. Bear in mind I don't have access to ISS as that is all set up by the university.
I have a second web.config file in a folder called AdminSecured in my root folder which holds all the secured pages.
Any ideas?
You need set up your virtual directory in the control panel of your hosting.
I've only seen this if you haven't set your site as an Application in IIS or if you have two web.configs on the root.
