I am reading the book WCF 4.0 Multi-tier Services Development and tried implementing a simple Hello World with WCF using IIS.
I have a HelloWorldService project and a HostDevServer project (Startup Project). I should see a directory listening with two files but instead I get the next error message:
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
Most likely causes:
A default document is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server.
What I have done:
Enabled Directory Browsing in IIS manager
Checked if I had Default Documents, they were present.
Run command: appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/directoryBrowse /enabled:true
In the about screen in IIS it says version 7.5 and in the browser it says "IIS 8.0 Detailed error ...". I don't know if this has something to do with the problem.
I use Visual Studio 2013 for development. Web.config below:
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
</system.web>
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I suspect you try to host the WCF as it was hosted with the self-host - under an extensionless uri.
This won't work. WCF services are hosted under *.svc activators. The extension informs IIS that it should find a proper host factory and create the service.
I added the website to the IIS manager and now it is working. I did need to edit permissions to acces the files but now i can acces the page without problems.
Should have read further in the book because they also explain about *.svc activators later.

I am trying to deploy an ASP.NET 5 WebApp in a Windows Server 2012 R2 that has IIS 8.5 installed.
The source code that I have here is a new ASP.NET Web Application. If I build it and run it in Visual Studio 2015, then works fine.
Now... I want to use the publish wizard to deploy it in ISS 8.5 so what I do is...
Right click on the project name (WebApplication5)
I created a custom profile (I named as localhost)
I add the target location. C:\inetpub\wwwroot
I configure the Settings
Configuration: Release
Target DNX Version: dnx-clr-win-x64.1.0.0.rc1-update1
Then I publish the web app.
After that, I have the following folder structure in my C:\inetpub\wwwroot
C:\inetpub\wwwroot
- approot
- packages
- runtime
- src
- ... bunch of files
- logs
- wwwroot
- css
- images
- js
- lib
- some files including web.config
Now I edited the permissions of the C:\inetput\wwwroot to include IIS_IUSRS and IUSR (I gave them full access for now to discard permission issues)
Finally, I went to ISS manager to Default Web Site -> Right Click -> Manage Website -> Advanced Settings -> and under physical path I added C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wwwroot
I restarted the IIS Server and when I try to browser to the default site I got the following message...
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related
configuration data for the page is invalid.
Detailed Error Information:
Module IIS Web Core
Notification Unknown
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code 0x8007000d
Config Error
Config File \?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wwwroot\web.config
And finally... this is the content of the web.config file...
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="httpplatformhandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<httpPlatform processPath="..\approot\web.cmd" arguments="" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile="..\logs\stdout.log" startupTimeLimit="3600"></httpPlatform>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
What am I missing? That used to be super easy on previous versions of ASP.NET but I can't configure this properly now.
Any pointers?
Thanks!
Well once you have that...
First, make sure you have the HTTP Platform Handler installed in your IIS (x86 / x64).
Now you'll need to unlock the system.webServer/handlers section which can be found in IIS Manager on the server node under Configuration Editor. Search for the right section and unlock it from the right action pane.
Make sure that the App Pool is set to No Managed Code. DNX is being run as an external process. IIS doesn't need to know about what it's currently running.
As we are talking of external process... make sure that you can run dnx from an empty Command Prompt (as in: Not Developer Command Prompt provided by Visual Studio).
For the full tutorial, checkout the official documentation.
I'm getting a runtime error when I try to access my asp.net website on a server. It works fine from my computer when I test it but once I upload it to my host, the runtime error appears.
I get this message:
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
My webhost is godaddy. The server is indeed windows and according to their tech support they have all the frameworks installed and up to date (I'd imagine this anyway from such a large host).
Basically they say it's an error on my end but I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I made the website with Visual Studio 2010. I'm new to this technology.
In my web.config, I have a custom Url rewriter class that takes query strings such as /movies/godzilla.aspx and turns it into /template.aspx?id=1234
The rewriter works fine when I run it locally on the built in web server in Visual Studios, but when I put it on IIS 7.5 and try to access the page using the friendly name, I get a message saying the connection was reset and have to do an iisreset to get the site back online. The page is perfectly accessible from the server using the query string URL.
Here is a snippet of my web.config:
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="ApFriendlyURL" type="FriendlyURL" />
</httpModules>
....
</system.web>
I'm confused as to why this works when running on the Dev Server in Visual Studios but not on IIS. I've played around with the settings in IIS, but I can't seem to find anything that would let me use the FriendlyURL class as the rewriter
HTTP modules in IIS 7.5 have to be configured in the system.webServer/modules section. Just copy your module definition there.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa347531(VS.90).aspx
Please be aware of the possible problem with the duplicate module configuration. If this is so, you turn off the integrated mode configuration:
http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/validation
If you are working on .NET 2.0 application you should enable "Integrated mode" in your AppPool setings.
Greeting,
I developed a website using ASP.Net 3.5 and C#. It is working good with Visual Stdio 2010.
I uploaded my website to my domain under the public folder.
First time I lunched my website for testing (http://wecoders.com/Habib_cuizine/Gallery.aspx)
I would revive (Server Error in '/' Application.)
Runtime Error Description: An
application error occurred on the
server. The current custom error
settings for this application prevent
the details of the application error
from being viewed remotely (for
security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the
local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this
specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a
tag within a
"web.config" configuration file
located in the root directory of the
current web application. This
tag should then have
its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
>
> <configuration>
> <system.web>
> <customErrors mode="Off"/>
> </system.web> </configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are
seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the
"defaultRedirect" attribute of the
application's
configuration tag to point to a custom
error page URL.
> <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
>
> <configuration>
> <system.web>
> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"
> defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
> </system.web> </configuration>
To fix this error I added to the webConfig file inside tag:
> <customErrors mode="Off"/>
After that when I lunch the website I would receive a new error as listed bellow:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Line 38: <!--
Line 39: The section enables configuration
Source File: \10.0.40.35\wecoders.com\public\habib_cuizine\web.config Line: 37
Please advice how to fix this error and how configure my website which developed using Visual Stdio 2010 to be published in the internet.
Regards,
The key information in this error is this line:
This error can be caused by a virtual
directory not being configured as an
application in IIS.
In IIS, you can have several applications, but they must be configured as an application. Generally, when you create a web project it maps directly to an IIS application.
Check with your hosting service on how to create an IIS application for your web app.
Edit - added
If this is on your server, you can set this up yourself following the instructions in #Frazell Thomas's answer. He beat me to finding that link. To save yourself some reading, you should be able to focus in on the Creating Virtual Directories and Local Web Sites section.
right-click virtual directory (e.g. MyVirtualDirectory)
click convert to application.
Have you configured the virtual directory as an ASP.NET application for the right framework version?
See IIS Setup
Look at these two excerpts:
I uploaded my website to my domain under the public folder.
and
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
It's pretty clear to me that you did exactly what you said you did, and no more, i.e. you transfered the files to the web server, but nothing else. You need to configure that public folder as a virtual directory in IIS as the error is telling you, or it's just not going to work.
Looks like you have <authentication mode="Windows" /> in your web.config file but your hosting provider won't let you use that. Just remove that line.
I got the same problem and my solution was to remove webconfig file from the directory.. then it works..
http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t123353-configuration-error.html
If you want to use inetpub/wwwroot/aspnet as your application, remove this
line :
Line 26:
and any other lines which define MachineToApplication beyond application
level
If you want to use d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\ as your
application,
create an IIS Application which points to
d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\
maybe you can refer link above.
For my application, my web.config store in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\
and when i move the web.config to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet and the problem is solve.
Please check also does your application have two web.config file.
Looks like this is a very generic message from iis.
in my case we enabled integrated security on web config but forgot to change IIS app pool identity.
Things to check -
go to event viewer on your server and check exact message.
-make sure your app pool and web config using same security(E.g Windows,integrated)
Note: this may not help every time but this might be one of the reason for above error message.
I have the same issue, my application was running on amazon vps, lately i found that bin folder had multiple copies of dll's ...
After removing those copies of dlls like entityframework(copy1).dll, errors were gone....
May be some one will get help...cheers
Removing the web.config-file from the IIS Directory Folder solves the problem.
Try removing the contents of the <compilers> tag in the web.config file. Depending on who you're hosting with, some don't allow the compiler in production.
Your application is trying to compile when it is called and their servers won't allow it.
This wont necessarily fix the problem...but it will tell you what the real problem is. Its currently trying to use a custom error page that doesn't exist.
If you add this line to Web.config (under system.web tag) it should give you the real error.
<system.web>
<!-- added line -->
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<!-- added line -->
</system.web>
If your project is linq with Sql Database.
Then Simply Check your System Services and Start sql Server Agent Service.
Now your problem is solved.
Just check connectivity between SQL And your App (if you used SQL)

What is the reason and how to resolve it?
Please help
You may get this error when trying to browse an ASP.NET application.
The debug information shows that "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
However, this error occurs primarily out of two scenarios.
When you create an new web application using Visual Studio .NET, it automatically creates the virtual directory and configures it as an application. However, if you manually create the virtual directory and it is not configured as an application, then you will not be able to browse the application and may get the above error. The debug information you get as mentioned above, is applicable to this scenario.
To resolve it, right click on the virtual directory - select properties and then click on
"Create" next to the "Application" Label and the text box. It will automatically create the "application" using the virtual directory's name. Now the application can be accessed.
When you have sub-directories in your application, you can have web.config file for the sub-directory. However, there are certain properties which cannot be set in the web.config of the sub-directory such as authentication, session state (you may see that the error message shows the line number where the authentication or session state is declared in the web.config of the sub-directory). The reason is, these settings cannot be overridden at the sub-directory level unless the sub-directory is also configured as an application (as mentioned in the above point).
Mostly, we have the practice of adding web.config in the sub-directory if we want to protect access to the sub-directory files (say, the directory is admin and we wish to protect the admin pages from unauthorized users).
I had this error when the .NET version was wrong - make sure the site is configured to the one you need.
See aspnet_regiis.exe for details.
I had this error with VS 2015, in my case going to the project properties page, Web tab, and clicking on Create Virtual Directory button in Servers section solved it
It sounds like the admin has locked the "authentication" node of the web.config, which one can do in the global web.config pretty easily. Or, in a nutshell, this is working as designed.
I just had the same issue on visual studio 2012. For a internet application project.
How to resolve “Server Error in '/' Application” error?
Searching for answer I came across this post, but none of these answer help me.
Than I found another post here on stackoverflow that has the answer for resolving this issue.
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: site
When you create an new web application using visual studio.net, it automatically creates the virtual directory and configures it as an application. However, if you manually create the virtual directory and it is not configured as an application, then you will not be able to browse the application and may get the above error.
I also got this error when I moved an entity framework edmx file into a "Models" sub-folder. This automatically changed the metadata in my connection string setting in my app.config.
So before the connection string changed... it looked something like this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/MyDb.csdl|res://*/MyDb.ssdl|res://*/MyDb.msl; ...
</connectionStrings>
And after... it added the "Models" subfolder name (btw... it also added "Models" to the namespace for the EF classes generated) and the connection string now looks something like this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.MyDb.csdl|res://*/Models.MyDb.ssdl|res://*/Models.MyDb.msl; ...
</connectionStrings>
I have a website project that references this Entity Framework DB project. But its web.config did not have the updates to the connection string... and that's when I started getting the compilation error being discussed here.
To fix this error, I updated the connection string in the web.config in the website project to match the app.config in my EntityFramework project.
vs2017 just added in these lines to csproj.user file
<IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>
<IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>
<IISExpressUseClassicPipelineMode>false</IISExpressUseClassicPipelineMode>
with these lines in Web.config
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="1048576" />
<identity impersonate="false" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow users="yourNTusername" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
And it worked
I opened the Properties window for the website project in question and changed Windows Authentication to "Enabled" and that resolved my issue in VS 2019.
The error message is quite clear: you have a configuration element in a web.config file in a subfolder of your web app that is not allowed at that level - OR you forgot to configure your web application as IIS application.
Example: you try to override application level settings like forms authentication parameters in a web.config in a subfolder of your application
