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.

Server Error in " <authentication mode="None" /> "

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

i have configured iis server by going to

Programs then
Turn Windows on or off
Then selecting iis
but still it is giving the same error.
Please help
Thanks in advance
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.

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?

Did you check IIS?
Sometimes IIS is set to a different framework.

Here is a similar problem and solution:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1491204.aspx/1
I think its because of the .net version of the Deployment Environment, which I presume is not 4.0.
Check it up with others if they have the same target Framework listed i.e. 4.0.
