I receive this error when trying to launch IIS Express from Visual Studio with a project that's configured to listen to an address other than localhost. Visual Studio freezes for about 30 seconds before giving the error "Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server".
I've tried all the solutions posted to similar questions and I think I've done everything correctly. Here are the steps that I have taken:
Add the following reservation to HTTP.SYS:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:36899/ user=Everyone
Run Visual Studio 2012 as an administrator (technically I don't think I should even have to since I set up HTTP.SYS manually).
Disable Windows Firewall.
Delete my IISExpress folder in my My Documents folder to ensure the default settings.
Allow Visual Studio to create the entry in applicationhost.config for my web project. Then manually edit the config file to change localhost to 192.168.0.100 which is my local IP. Then go back into the project properties in Visual Studio and change localhost to the IP and save the project so that my project is now set to http://192.168.0.100:36899.
I also tried changing the port and repeating the above steps just incase the port was in use for some reason.
I want to make my IIS Express developer instance accessible from my IP on the Internet for remote testing.
If using VS2015, close the solution, delete the following file, then re-open the solution.
<<path_to_solution_folder>>\.vs\config\applicationhost.config
note the .vs folder may be hidden
The one thing that fixed this for me was using the following line in the <bindings> section for my site in the applicationhost.config file:
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:8099:" />
</bindings>
The key was to simply remove localhost. Don't replace it with an asterisk, don't replace it with an IP or a computer name. Just leave it blank after the colon.
After doing this, I don't need to run Visual Studio as administrator, and I can freely change the Project Url in the project properties to the local IP or computer name. I then set up port forwarding and it was accessible to the Internet.
EDIT:
I've discovered one more quirk that is important to getting IIS Express to properly serve external requests.
If you are running Visual Studio/IIS Express as an administrator, you must not add a reservation to HTTP.SYS using the "netsh http add urlacl ..." command. Doing so will cause an HTTP 503 Service Unavailable error. Delete any reservations you've made in the URLACL to fix this.
If you are not running Visual Studio/IIS Express as an administrator, you must add a reservation to the URLACL.
I had exactly the same issue. Tried everything but finally one trick worked.
Delete folder IISExpress from "My Documents"
Load your project again, it will create IISExpress folder again with updated configuration
Check IISExpress folder has sufficient permissions to read-write the configuration file
Load project again and Run IISExpress. It should work.
Close your project.
Go to folder settings and select show hidden folders option.
Open the folder where your application is. You will see a .vs folder.
Open the .vs folder, you will see a config folder in it. Delete its content.
Run Visual Studio in admin mode. Open your solution from the File menu.
Clean your solution.
Build it.
Run it and voila!
I do not recommend deleting IIS Express folder or messing with the config file in it.
I was changing this entry (for which my web server was not running and showing me access denied error for a particular port)
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:61235:localhost" />
</bindings>
in the "applicationhost.config" in "Documents\IISExpress\config" for a particular webapplication it was overwritten by Visual Studio 2012 again to default port whenever I was starting my webapplication.
But I resolved the problem by doing nothing in the applicationhost.config. I just changed the "project properties" > "web" > "project url" setting from http://localhost:62135/ to http://localhost:47279/(depends on your computer) and it worked for me.
Try this:
Open Properties of your solution
Go to web
under LOCAL IIS, Change written port number to any other port number and create a
new virtual directory.
Simply start your Visual Studio as Run as Administrator
Thanks,
I had the same issue, but with a different cause that may help others.
Use a commandprompt in admin mode for this:
- TYPE: netsh http show iplisten
If there are any IP entries:
- TYPE: netsh http delete iplisten
Repeat until the list is empty. Check if IIS Express starts now.
Hope this helps,
Niels
Deleting the unnecessary site entries from applicationhost.config file solved the issue for me.
For me it was the applicationhost.config file in .vs folder in my project solution folder(.vs folder is hidden by default).So,I closed the project and delete the .vs folder (vs will recreate it again when you open the project) then reopen the project and run it.
In my case i tried following things to fix this problem.
Delete the iisexpress folder from "MyDocuments"
Go to Solution Explorer --> Right click on the Project --> Go to Properties --> Go to Web tab --> See the Servers --> click on radio button "USe Visual Studio Developtment Server"
I hope this will help you.
I fixed it with the following steps:
Close Visual Studio
Run netsh http show urlacl and see if your application http address/port is listed.
Run netsh http delete urlacl url=[ADDRESS] replacing [ADDRESS] with the Reserved URL shown by the previous command. For example http://+:17560/
Run VS again (as Admin) then go to web project's Properties -> Web then click on Create Virtual Directory button.
Now you should be able to run the web project.
In Debug > Website Properties.
change port number in Project Url to any nearest value and save
I spent 1 hour trying every recipe mentioned above. Then out of no where I restarted my computer, and tried again. And everything is fine now.
So please try restarting your computer before trying all the above mentioned solutions. It might help
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 2012. I managed to resolve it by removing from C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\AppServer\applicationhost.config path unneccessary site entries. Alongwith running my VS2012 as an Administrator. Hope this helps
At the start, Try to disable your firewall. It helped me. The Eset Smart Security 5 blocked it.
I had this problem some days ago and all of above items could not help me.
I have ESET Smart Security 5.0 on my SONY VAIO laptop which works in interactive mode!
Finally I found the problem, ESET was blocking VS2012!
In the past, ESET had asked me to allow the VS2012 to communicate with Microsoft, I had chosen "Deny Access" and ESET had mad a rule for denying
VS2012. I omitted this rule from "ESET rules zone" and my issue was solved!
Delete IISExpress folder in my My Documents folder to ensure the default settings or restore the same to previous version when it was working fine.
Remove the default website from the <sites> </sites>
<site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
<application path="/">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="%IIS_SITES_HOME%\WebSite1" />
</application>
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":8080:localhost" />
</bindings>
</site>
and your own <site> </site>
and run "C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe"
http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/using-iis-express/running-iis-express-from-the-command-line
In VS 2013 I saw this error after setting up Google Docs synchronization on My Documents. Updated permissions to not be read-only and problem solved.
open command prompt as administrator
then execute this command :
netsh http show urlacl
you will see the url you have added before
now you should execute this command :
netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:36899/ user=Everyone
please check the url from list when using :
(netsh http show urlacl)
I face this issue, All I did was go to the web project Properties -> Web -> In the ProjectUrl I clicked on the "Create Virtual Directory" and my issue was fixed.
I had the same issue with my computer having loads of windows updates.
Spent few hours trying to resolve the issue using above answers with no luck.
In past we have different issues due to anti-virus which caused the application to be blocked by it, so thought to try by disabling it.
So after trying all the solution, I just uninstall "One Drive" from my PC & the problem is resolved.
N.B:
I was trying to run .net core web application.
Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.5
Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit
Click the Solution and press F4. Then match the port from Right-click on solution and select Properties to the web tab port.
The port no will be the same of both case F4 and Properties.
Tried deleting IISExpress folder, changed port , restart VS and PC but it didn't work.
However it worked after killing iisexpress.exe service in services.
change the parameter in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
parameter Start from 4 to 3 and reboot

I've been (successfully) running a couple of ASP.NET (.NET Framework 4.6.2, WebForms) websites through Visual Studio 2017 / IISExpress using custom domains. I installed Visual Studio 2019 (Community) the other day, and all of a sudden the custom domains have stopped working on all projects in both Visual Studio 2017 and 2019! The system-tray for IIS Express still continues to show that the binding is accepted:
However, when attempting to browse to that URL, Chrome gives me a "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" error:
Just to be clear, the steps are taken on each project are as follows:
Modify the applicationhost.config file in the web project's .vs folder to include:
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:80:agentdesktop.local" />
In an elevated command prompt, execute:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://agentdesktop.local:80/ user=everyone
Add to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 agentdesktop.local
I've deleted the .vs directory, removed the urlacl entry, removed the IISExpress directory in the Documents folder. Performed all actions outlined above as had been done previously, and still I cannot get it to accept the connection!
If I ping agentdesktop.local then I get a valid response from 127.0.0.1, and the fact it's appearing in the IIS Express system tray, makes me think that something in between is intercepting and blocking.
Does anybody else have any ideas as to how I could get this back working again, or what might have gone wrong!?
I did some more digging, and found that running
netsh http show iplisten
Had a single entry of ::1. I removed this using:
netsh http delete iplisten address=::1
and everything started working again. Not quite sure what happened, but glad I found it.
I'm trying to run a website on localhost using IIS in Windows 10.
I'd like to be able to access the website through another pc in the lan using a local ip address and port. I just started debugging the application in visual studio 2015, I could run
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:51258:localhost" />
but using
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:51258:192.168.1.213" />
causes an "Access Denied" popup in visual studio
I've followed the steps in
https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/kb/894433
but was confused with step 7 i.e.
7. Add the worker process account that is configured in the processModel element in the Machine.config file
I was able to locate the machine.config file but the process model is set to autoconfig=true i.e.
Do I have to setup a custom account or is there a default worker process account that I'm not seeing?
This is so that I can do the following steps to solve the access denied problem...
5. In the Policy pane, right-click Impersonate a client after authentication, and then click Properties.
6. Click Add User or Group.
7. Add the worker process account that is configured in the processModel element in the Machine.config file.
Please note that I have already added the IUSR with permissions to the directories I'm running the website from.
ok after some more digging I finally made it work. I didn't have to add any worker account in the process model block of the applicationhost.config
I just had to install HTTP Activation from the advanced service as described in one of the answers in
what to do when accessing http://192.168.1.213:51258/Default.aspx doesnt work
I then followed with
netsh http add urlacl url=http://192.168.1.213:51258/ user=everyone
But that didn't solve it so I followed the change of configuration in visual studio web server to use custom server to finally fix this, found in the link below
how to setup custom web server in visual studio
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
I have also added my IP to the firewall rule. I am a beginner in Azure.
I am getting the above error while trying to run the azure web project. I have added following tags after going through some articles but none help me.
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<identity impersonate="false"/>
Basically, your application is throwing an unhandled error. You will want to know what the real error is, as Error 500 is just a generic way of saying: something happened.
You can deploy your app with customerrors being OFF so you can actually see the real error (Check this link for sample instructions: http://www.serverintellect.com/support/programming/custom-errors.aspx ).
Alternatively, if you're using WebRoles, you can RDP into a server instance and check Windows EventViewer, the details of the error will likely show up there.
In my case, I was using code downloaded from durandaljs.com. The "Build Action" on my default page (index.html) was set to "None", so this file was not uploaded to Azure during publish. Fixed by changing the "Build Action" to "Content".
Troubleshooting IIS via Remote Desktop really helped me figure this out. Choosing the "Enable Remote Desktop for all roles" when you publish, then in Server Explorer, expand Cloud Services, etc., then right-click your instance and choose "Connect using Remote Desktop".
This may be a proxy related issue.
Try adding these to your *.config files:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" />
</system.net>
I've recently encountered an error trying to host my asp.net site with IIS. I have found a solution that many swear by.
Solution:
Add IIS_IUSRS with Read permission on files in the folder
Change IIS authentication method to BasicAuthentication
refresh the website. It will work
(http://vivekthangaswamy.blogspot.com/2009/07/aspnet-website-cannot-read.html)
What do I add to my web.config file though? I've never had to edit it before. Here is its current contents:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
For more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit

</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
My error is:
Config Error: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
Config File: \?\C:\Users*****\Documents\Visual Studio2010\WebSites\PointsForTime\web.config
There is no problem with your web.config. Your web site runs under a process. In iis you can define the identity of that process. The identity that your web site's application pool runs as (Network Services, Local System, etc.), should have permission to access and read web.config file.
Update:
This updated answer is same as above, but a little longer and simpler and improved.
First of all: you don't have to change anything in your config file. It's OK. The problem is with windows file permissions.
This problems occurs because your application can not access and read web.config file.
Make the file accessible to IIS_IUSRS group. Just right click web.config and click properties, under security tab, add IIS_IUSRS.
So what is this IIS_IUSRS thing?
Your web site is like an exe file. Just like any exe file, it should be started by a user and it runs according to permissions assigned to that user.
When your site is started in IIS, Application Pool of your web site is associated with a user (Network Services, Local System, Etc. ...) (and can be changed in IIS)
So when you say IIS_IUSRS, it means any user (Network Services, Local System, Etc. ...) that your site is running as.
And as #Seph mentioned in comment below: If your computer is on a domain, remember that IIS_IUSRS group is a local group.
Also make sure that when you're trying to find this user check the location it should be set to local computer and not a corporate domain.
I had what appeared to be the same permissions issue on the web.config file.
However, my problem was caused by IIS failing to load the config file because it contained URL rewrite rules and I hadn't installed the IIS URL rewrite module on the new server.
The solution was to install the rewrite module.
I had the same problem when I tried to share the site root folder with another user. Some folder lost the permission.
So I followed the steps to add permission to IIS_IUSRS group as suggested by Afshin Gh.
The problem is this group was not available for me. I am using windows 7.
What I did I just changed some steps:
Right click on the parent folder (who lost the permission),
Properties => Security =>In "Group or user names:",
Click Edit...
Window "Permission for your folder" will be opened.
In "Group or user names:" press ADD... btn,
Type Authen and press Check Names,
You will see the complete group name "Authenticated Users"
Press ok => apply.
This should enable privileges again.
That worked for me.
Editor's note: Doing what this answer suggests: "changing Identity to LocalSystem" is DANGEROUS! The LocalSystem account is a ...
Completely trusted account, more so than the administrator account. There is nothing on a single box that this account cannot do, and it has the right to access the network as the machine (this requires Active Directory and granting the machine account permissions to something)
Changing the Identity from ApplicationPoolIdentity to LocalSystem did the work ;).
I am using win7 64 with IIS 7.5
more about
Application Pool Identity in IIS 7.5 and win 7
Make the file accessible to the IIS_IUSRS group. Right click your web.config, expand properties, and under security tab, add IIS_IUSRS. Give the group read/write access.
When the group is NOT available, replace IIS_IUSRS by ComputerName\IIS_IUSRS
You don't have to change anything in your web.config.
The problem is file system permissions. Your file permissions do not allow the IIS_IUSRS user to access web.config (or probably any of the files). Change their file permissions in windows to allow the IIS_IUSRS account to access it.
When you grant permissions to IIS_IUSRS you should check that in the IIS/Authentication section of your Web Application, the Anonymous Authentication Credentials uses Application Pool Identity and not IUSR.
Go to the parent folder, right-click and select Properties. Select the Security tab, edit the permissions and Add. Click on Advanced and the Find Now. Select IIS_IUSRS and click OK and OK again. Make sure you have check Write. Click OK and OK again.
Job done!
For some reason your web.config is set as read only. Uncheck the readonly option of web.config file.
I needed to add permissions to IUSR (in addition to ISS-IUSRS, as others have suggested).
(See also:
http://codeasp.net/blogs/raghav_khunger/microsoft-net/2099/iis-7-5-windows-7-http-error-401-3-unauthorized)
Instead of giving access to all IIS users like IIS_IUSRS you can also give access only to the Application Pool Identity using the site. This is the recommended approach by Microsoft and more information can be found here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/4466942/understanding-identities-in-iis
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities
Fix:
Start by looking at Config File parameter above to determine the location that needs access. The entire publish folder in this case needs access. Right click on the folder and select properties and then the Security tab.
Click on Edit... and then Add....
Now look at Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and Application Pools:
In my case my site runs under LocalTest Application Pool and then I enter the name IIS AppPool\LocalTest
Press Check Names and the user should be found.
Give the user the needed access (Default: Read & Execute, List folder contents and Read) and everything should work.
I used subst to create a mapping from D: to C: in order to keep the same setup as other developers in the team. This also gave me same errors as described. Removing this fixed it for me.
This happened to us when the IIS application has a Virtual Directory with a Physical Path that contains forward-slashes / instead of backslashes \. This was accidentally done using a powershell management API for IIS during our continuous delivery process.
Bad Config Example - applicationHost.config
<application path="/MySite/MyService" applicationPool="MyAppPool" enabledProtocols="http">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\inetpub\MySite/MyService" />
</application>
Make sure the physicalPath attribute does not contain forward-slashes /, only backslashes \
Corrected Config Example - applicationHost.config
<application path="/MySite/MyService" applicationPool="MyAppPool" enabledProtocols="http">
<virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\inetpub\MySite\MyService" />
</application>
Changing the Process Model Identity to LocalSystem fixed this issue for me. You can find this setting if you right click on the application pool and chose "Advanced Settings". I'm running IIS 7.5.
Shift your project to some drive other than C:
Worked for me with the same error.
The accepted solution didn't for me. I use a Git repo and it cloned to the following folder
c:\users\myusername\source\repos\myWebSite
I made new IIS website and pointed it at the path. Which didn't have the iis_iusrs permissions suggested in the accepted solution. When I added the permissions it still didn't work.
It only started working when I gave the following permissions to the 'Users' group and inheritance cascaded the permissions to web.config. Probably should have applied it just to the web.config to reduce attack surface area.
All answers given are valid and working under different circumstances.
For me, restarting Visual Studio worked.
We had a website running with a specific identity in the apppool, only after giving that user read access to the folder containing the web.config would it work.
We tracked this down after adding the 'everyone' user with read and everything worked fine.
For me the error turned up during Debugging on my local machine and turned out to be related to the base web.config, which is initiated by the .NET Framework when compiling the website. My C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config file had an unrecognized element (folderLevelBuildProviders). Fixing this fixed the 500.19 error.
See this: IIS Manager can't configure .NET Compilation on .NET 4 Applications
Right click Web.Config => Tab Security => Button Edit => Button Add => Button Advanced => Button Find Now = > In Search results select your group(in our case " IIS_IUSRS") => Ok => Ok=> Ok
I have solved this by adding read permission to folder for application pool user (WIN SERVER 2008 R2):
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config
A little background:
Our server has been hacked using classical error where app user had more permissions that it should (local admin).
To fix it we created new domain user that had only permissions on application folder, with min needed rights and assigned it as application pool user. than we hit in the issue and this was solution to our problems.
This can happen if your application is in a virtual directory and the path to the files is a mapped drive.
If you change the path to the files to a local drive, this will solve it, if that indeed is your problem.
The above answers were helpful, but in case this helps anyone - I had this exact problem, and it turned out that I was (windows networking) sharing the root folder that the site was being hosted from. We killed the share, and added the Users permission to read/execute and it worked again just fine.
I suspect the share messed it up.
I was receiving the "Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions" as well. Turns out the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions in IIS for both ASP.NET 4.0 32bit and 64bit was set to deny. Marking them both to Allowed fixed my problem.
Had this issue with a Virtual Application. All the permissions were set.
IIS_IUSRS, AppPoolIdentity and then gave full access to Everyone. Nothing worked. Restarted apppool, site and IIS but No go.
Deleted the virtual application and added it again from scratch and it started working.
Wish I knew what solved it.
check if the file is not marked as read-only, despite of the IIS_IUSRS permission it will display the same message.
I had this error message that turned out to be due to my physical folder being located on a network drive as opposed to the local drive. It seems the permissions on such drives by default can be different. For example, while the local drive location gave permission to the users of the local computer, the network location did not.
Further, the accepted answer does not work for such a case. The local users or IIS users were not an available to assign permissions to. The solution was to move the physical folder to the local drive.
I had the same issue and after doing all the stuff written here as answers, it still reproduced.
The second half of the issue was the fact that .NET was turned off under "Turn Windows features on or off"
Sometimes if it is a new server you need to configure or install ASP.NET feature on IIS for it to be able to read your web.config file.
In my case this was the reason.
In my case, I was trying to host pages from a mapped drive (subst).
The issue is that the subst was run under my account and the IIS user is not able to see the same drive

I had the same issue, but reason was different.
In my web.config there was a URL rewrite module rule and I haven’t installed URL rewrite module also. After I install url rewrite module this problem solved.
Looks like the user account you're using for your app pool doesn't have rights to the web site directory, so it can't read config from there. Check the app pool and see what user it is configured to run as. Check the directory and see if that user has appropriate rights to it. While you're at it, check the event log and see if IIS logged any more detailed diagnostic information there.
On Windows 10 I had to install ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET 4.6 under Internet Information Services (the other boxes automatically check themselves):
Finally I get the solution for my problem. The asp.net account not appear in the IIS manager because I didn't check its check Box in IIS to do this in windows 7 follow the steps
Open control panel
Click on” program” link (not uninstall programs)
Click” turn windows features on/off” link
locate” Internet Information services IIS” in the pop up window and expand its node
Expand the” World Wide Web Service” node
Expand “Application Development Features” node
check the check box of”ASP.NET”
Then click ok button
Now you will see the Asp.net account on the IIS manager and by default you see IIS account Now you should move you asp.net website from “my document” to another place the IIS have permission to access it (to any partition on your computer) Now browse your website from IIS manager and it should work.
We got this error after having to change our domain administrator password.
After monkeying with several settings, I eventually found that in the application in below path as it was set to specifically use the domain administrator account rather than pass-through authentication (who knows why).
IIS Manager -> Basic Settings -> Connect
you need to do one step:
run->cmd
run "c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i"
Thats it
Experienced this issue today and resolved it. Someone had set the "Path Credentials" for the "Default web site" in IIS to run as a specific user. This same user changed her password either due to the password expiring or just a routine change. Setting the "Default website" to connect as the "Application User" via the basic settings option resolved it for me
you probably change your NT password.
Open IIS -> Right click on your application -> manage application -> advanced Setting -> physical path credentials.
good luck
In my case, this error appears after changing folder's solution.
I solve the problem by goin to my project properties and recreate my virtual directory.
Right click on project > Properties > Web > Under Servers section click "Create Virtual Directory"
It will display a message saying that the virtual directory was created in another place and it will change it
For me, I needed to enable Http Activation under the .Net features in "Add/Remove Windows Features"
Got this working alright but not based on suggestions above. My case is that am getting the 500 error running iis7 on a windows 2008 server in a domain. Just added a new user in the domain and basically allow read/execute access to the virtual directory or folder. Ensure that the virtual folder>basic settings> Connect As > Path credentials is set to a user with read/xecute access. You can test settings and both authentication and authorization should work. Cheers!
Default web site need to manage as well:
1 .On Default web site -> basicSettings -> connect as, change it to the right user.
2.change the Identiy of the applicationPool that related to the defaultWebSite
g.luck
Right now i had this error and resolved it. Your url could match with created virtual directory.
You have to check virtual directories, in my example i found in applicationhost.config next row:
<application path="/" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
<virtualDirectory path="/admin/roles" physicalPath="C:\..." />
</application>
I tried to open page with an url (http://localhost/admin/roles) of AdminController and Roles action and got this error.
For others out there, I got a similar error message due to trying to run a .Net 4 app in a .Net 2 app pool. Changing the .Net FX version for the app pool fixed it for me.
I was having a similar error installing php 5.3.3 with the Error Code 0x80070020 with a direction to a few lines in web.config in my www root directory (not the standard root directory).
The solution, while crude, worked perfectly. I simply deleted the web.config file and now everything works. I spent HOURS trying other solutions to no avail.
If anyone thinks this was stupid, please let me know. If anyone else has spent the same amount of time pulling out hair, try it and see (after backing up the file of course)

Was having the same error and fixing the credentials in the IIS app pool did not help. I finally resolved the error in IIS by selecting my website under Default Web Site, Advanced Settings->Physical Path Credentials->Specific User, and reentered the credentials for the app pool user, then restarted IIS and the error went away and my website came up successfully.
As I got the 500.19, I gave IIS_IUSRS full access rights for the mentioned web.config and for the folder of the project. This solved the issue.
You can give permissions by
right click on the folder / file
selecting the tab "security"
add the user IIS_IUSRS - don't forget the i in front of USRS and don't write an "e" as in USERS
If it's bigin when you try to acces to joomla administrator panel, Just a username and password problem !! You have just to update a jos_user in your joomla database.
Go to your joomla web site directory and open a configuration.php with bloc note or note pad to show what database name your joomla administrator site use.
You have to find a line who have:
public $user = 'joomlauser251'; //MySQL username
In my case joomlauser251 is my DB name.
Login to your mysql:
mysql -uyourusername -pyourpassword
Select database for your joomla:
use joomlauser251;
Change password for admin:
UPDATE jos_users SET password=MD5(‘NewPassword’) WHERE username=’admin’;
And retry to acces again.
That’s all !!!
Didn't seem to be a permission issue for me - tried giving the IIS_IUSRS account full control over everything in the web service, just to see if this was the cause. The fix turned out to be recreating the application hosting the web service (i.e. the actual '.svc') in IIS
In my case, I found a reference to an old domain account password in applicationHost.config under Virtual Directory defaults.
so easy
find the file "applicationHost.config" in Windows -> System32 ->inetsrv -> config
1. backup "applicationHost.config" to another filename
2. open file "applicationHost.config" clear data and save
3. open browser and call url internal website , finished.
If you are using a new, dedicated, user account... It is also worth checking that the password for that account has not expired, as that will also cause this 500.19 permissions issue.
For ASP.NET Core websites, this generic error will also occur if you don't have the HttpPlatformHandler module installed, see this answer for more details.
ASP.Net applications come pre-wired with a handlers section in the web.config. By default, this is set to readonly within feature delegation within IIS. Take a look in IIS Manager
1.Go to IIS Manager and click Server Name
2.Go to the section Management and click Feature Delegation.
3.Select the Handler Mappings which is supposed to set as readonly.
4.Change the value to read/write and now you can get resolved the issue
I have just one more thing to say about this. With the same HTTP Error code, you can still have several different errors, as one of them has been posted here at the original question's description.
For example: after I've edited the Web.Config file of an ASP.NET project, I had
Error Code 0x8007000d
"Only one <configSections> element allowed. It must be the first child element of the root <configuration> element "
As it says, you must NOT insert your own XML stuff before the <configSections> part of the Web.Config file. After I've inserted my snippet after the end tag of <configSections>, it worked just fine.
My website's correct path was not specified in IIS.
My solution is that,
just delete the corrupted folder.
Then re-create folder again.
It seem that if the corrupted folder had been created before IIS
setup. If you created folder again, it will work correctly.
I got this error after uninstalling Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) from the computer running IIS. Apparently uninstalling WSUS may break the IIS configuration on the server making other web application installed on the same server unavailable.
I found the solution for the problem here.
In my case, the value of the Key was incorrect in Web.config file:
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<add value="Portal.htm" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
when I change the value to "Portal.html" it worked.
I got this error after upgrading from Visual Studio 2013 to 2015. After a bit of searching and trying various fixes I found the problem can be resolved by removing the following from web.config:
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".less" mimeType="text/css" />
</staticContent >
Apparently staticContent is deprecated now?

Edit 1
This sort of prevented IIS from serving .json files when the program was deployed. If you do this you're supposed to re-add .json (application/json) to the mime types of your site in IIS. Here is some more info: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/staticcontent/mimemap
Edit 2
I noticed that in my situation the above edit 1 solution only works temporarily. Once I redeploy the entry gets removed. So, I moved the mimeMap XML into Web.Release.config. Works fine now.
