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
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169433
-->
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</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 have developed an Asp.net website in Visual Studio 2008 and it worked fine while using Vista OS but my workstation got upgraded to Windows 7 and I now get following error:
Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform
an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this
application the required permission please contact your system
administrator or change the application's trust level in the
configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the
permission of type 'System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
failed.
I get this error while running on my local machine from within Visual studio... I have already googled the error but nothing i found helps so far. I don't get the error when deployed on server, just on my local.
The website references .dll projects that I have created in the same solution. The error seems to occur when I try to instaniate an object contained within any one of these .dll projects.
This setting in Web.config did not help:
<trust level="Full" originUrl="" />
neither did this:
<securityPolicy>
<trustLevel name="Full" policyFile="internal" />
</securityPolicy>
This worked for me. in web.config add
<system.web>
<trust level="Full" />
</system.web>
This is an old question, but I experienced this exact issue recently and as the problem existed on the local machine and not on a remote one like most of the rest of the information pulled up with this particular error, none of those solutions helped so I'm going to put my solution here.
My issue was that I was using a networked workstation and trying to run a solution that was stored on a network drive. For some reason, my local machine did not trust that particular drive and it would not accept any of the attempts to raise the trust level of the application.
Once I realized the issue was the drive itself, I simply moved the entire solution over to another one and it solved the problem for me. I imagine that a talk with the Network Admin about their permissions could likely helped to correct the error also, but just switching the solution to a local drive fixed the issue that I was having and might work for others.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, grant the FullTrust right to the remote share:
On the Web server, open Administrative Tools, and then double-click Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration.
Expand Runtime Security Policy, expand Machine, and then expand Code Groups.
Right-click All_Code, and then click New.
Select Create a new code group. Give your code group a relevant name, such as the name of the applications share. Click Next.
In the Choose the condition type for this code group list, select URL.
In the URL box, type the path of the share in the following format:
file:////\\computername\sharename\*
Note Replace computername with the name of the computer that is hosting the remote share. Replace sharename with the name of the share.
Click Next. On the next page, select Use an existing permission set, and then select FullTrust.
Click Next, and then click Finish.
Restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to restart the ASP.NET worker process.
If Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration is not displayed under Administrative Tools, you can install the .NET Framework SDK to add Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration. Alternatively, you can run the following command to make the change:
Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -m -ag 1 -url "file:////\\computername\sharename\*" FullTrust -exclusive on
For more details: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/320268
RESOLUTION
(1) Create an application pool for the appropriate domain using Internet Information Services (IIS). Login to the remote desktop and open IIS Manager. Expand the tree Application Pools. Right click and select New | Application Pool and give the required particulars.
(2) The next step is to place the domain under the newly created application pool. In order to perform this action, expand the tree labeled Web Sites and then Default Web Site under it. Select your domain name, right click on it and choose Properties menu item. Select the drop down box labeled Application pool and choose the newly created application pool name.
Note: You can automatically perform the above mentioned steps using certain popular hosting control panels if you have installed them on the server.
(3) Add the following lines of code to machine.config file. This file can be located under the folder - Root Drive Name:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG
<location path="yourdomain.com" allowOverride="true">
<system.web>
<trust level="Full" originUrl=""/>
</system.web>
</location>
(A) You should require administrative rights to the server and access to remote desktop to resolve the above issue. You should contact your hosting service provider if you don’t have access to the server.
(B) Replace yourdomain.com with the appropriate domain name in which the problem is occurring.
Warning: Incorrect modification of machine.config file will cause problems to the ASP.NET service on the server.
Try this
Go to the properties of precompiled dll’s, check to see if it has following security message (at the bottom of the window): "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer." If present, click "Unblock", "Apply" and "OK".
OR
Run the below caspol command to resolve the issue Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\caspol.exe -m -ag 1 -url file:////c:\mysitecontent\* FullTrust -exclusive on
Note: Please substitute c:\mysitecontent\* with actual path where ASP.net pre-compiled DLLs are located.
And restart the system.
If it helped you vote it up please.
I was getting the same error...so I solved with two steps. First, adding code in web.config file.
and second, changing the IIS Manger.
Select the server in IIS. Click/Open Feature Delegation under management. Than, change .NET Trust Level to Read/Write (from right hand Action panel)
Thanks
I have setup a application in my IIS7 that uses .NET Framework 4.0 (runned by NetworkService) but when browsing the site I get this:
Access is denied.
Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. You might not have permission to view the requested resources.
Error message 401.3: You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied (access denied due to Access Control Lists). Ask the Web server's administrator to give you access to*
I have tried to give NetworkService full permission on the folder that holds the website (the one that the web application in IIS is pointing against) but I do still get the access denied?
Why?
I gave access to "IIS_IUser" but instead it should be "IUSR". That solved the problem.
For me, nothing worked except the following, which solved the problem: open IIS, select the site, open Authentication (in the IIS section), right click Anonymous Authentication and select Edit, select Application Pool Identity.
I had the same problem, I enabled "Anonymous Authentication" but it still did not work.
So I also ENABLED "Forms Authentication" Then it worked without any problems.
OS : Windows 7 & IIS 7
If you still have permission denied after adding IUSR & NETWORK SERVICE.
Add also IIS_WPG. The addition of this last user solved my problem.
For people who can't find those users:
when you're trying to add a user in security of the folder (properties of the folder), click on "Advanced" of the window "Select Users or Groups". Change the location to the computer name then click on "Find Now". You'll find those users in the list below.
If you're using Anonymous Authentication, IIS 7 will use the "IUSR" account for directory access (unless you've set it to use the app pool identity. If you haven't granted IUSR sufficient permissions on your site's folders and files, you'll get this error
For me in windows 7 it started to work only after I gave 'Read & execute', 'List folder contents', 'Read' permissions to site folder for both users
IUSR
NETWORK SERVICE
Tried most of the solutions here, but no luck. What worked for me was adding "Everyone" to the security permissions. Properties -> Security -> Edit -> Add -> Everyone. The given defaults were enough for me to regain access.
In the near future, I should probably figure out what credentials are being sent to the server so that I can give proper permissions. But I hope it helps someone!
In the Authentication settings for APP itself (IN IIS), see if you have anonymous enabled.
We need to create a new user ComputerName\IUSR by going to the website folder-->Properties--->Security--->Edit-->Add and give read access. This would work definitely.
This solution is for IIS7
I went round and round on this and it turned out to be improperly set default page. Hope this helps someone else avoid an hour of wasted time.
In my case running c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe /i resolved the 403 access denied issue.
Checking the Application Pool Identity in Anonymous Authentication and enabling Forms Authentication would solve problem for access denied error. 😁
After some thinking and a lot of of trial and error I found out that this error occurred because part of my web.config was encrypted and for some reason the key was no longer valid.
Re-encrypting the config section solved the issue.
After watching this tutorial :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbrZbHpXBTE&list=PLp1Emx1rT4z9YWLDXBjUwBb130qv2Zq2x&index=4&ab_channel=LearningProgrammingTutorial
I had the same problem using RDP ( windows server 2016 Datacenter )
i followed the tutorial above & enbaled my directory browsing options from the IIS internet infromation services manager.
what you want to do is to access your IIS manager , you can check out the tutorial above to learn how to access IIS manager if you have trouble acessing there , it was useful for me that's why I'm sharing then ... go to :
you should gave access to IUSER
( or application tool identity , depends or what you want to work with )
and your problem would be solved! :)
Also you need to check your firewall and TCP settings , if ping between two machines didn't work for you , you can check this out :

It was due to WWWRoot directory security issue.
Simple solution is, Just copy applicatio folder to some other drive, Instead of "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"
and then create a virtual directory for this new path. That's it.
If the IUSR user is already specified in Authentication and you're still getting this issue, it could be that your Directory Listing isn't enabled. Be sure to check that. That was the case for me.
This is what happened to me:
Get - Post is ok. Working well.
When I try to use Options verb, the server return error like that.
Then, beware with urlScan
I add OPTIONS verb to urlscan configuration .ini file, then everything works well.
To check if urlscan is installed or not, open your iis manager, and open ISAPI FILTERS url scan should appear at the list.
I was also facing the same issue,
Everything was normal all the rights were given to the user and for folder as well.
After many research i found that the wwwroot (Source code folder) was shared with some other user.
I stopped sharing and it worked like a charm.
I was facing this issue after pulling from remote master and adding to the appsettings on web.config.
I solved it by enabling Windows Authentication:
Click on the project and press f4
Make sure Windows Auth is enabled:
Okay, I realize there are many questions relating to this error, I have read several questions and answers without resolving my problem.
I have a MVC site that I'm trying to debug on local IIS web server.
I check the option to use local IIS in the project properties and I've created a virtual directory in IIS.
The error I get in Visual Studio is:
Unable to start debugging on web server.
In IIS i try browse the site but get the error:
Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
Config File \?\C:\Users\Mike\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\MvcApplication1\MvcApplication1\web.config
I've set permissions for the pool identity on the web.config and whole project folder.
I've tried localsystem identity, no luck!
Please help me resolve this. I've spent several hours trying to fix this.
I found that if granting read permission to IIS_IUSRS still does not help. You need to also check that the web.config file is not encrypted. You can see if the file name is green in Window Explorer, it means the file encrypted. You can also do right click at the file, select Properties… / General Tab / Advanced… Make sure the "Encrypt content to secure data" unchecked.
It works for me once I uncheck that Encrypt box.
Maybe this will help. Look here, here and here
You also might have to grant ISS_IUSRS right to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config and then do a iisreset
Edit:
Do you have the right Application Pool Identities? Read more here
For local development I've used pritty straightforward solution - just set IIS Application Pool to LocalSystem, set permissions for site folder (ISS_IUSRS - all) and it's worked for me
I only ran into a different set of issues with IIS_IUSRS. So I just published the site under a whole different folder, off the root, and the issue went away!
I've just installed windows server 2008 r2 along with visual studio and dropbox. I'm using it as a VM for development and dropbox helps me keep my files in sync with other machines.
I've got my site set up in IIS but I'm getting an access denied error when trying to view the site. I've had this before and to get around it in the past I've gone through and added the IIS_User account to the list of permissions to read/modify the files. I assume because the file's have been copied down with drop box the files don't have the necessary permissions. Here's the bugger, I can't batch update the files by modifying permissions on a folder, I'm having to do it right to the file level and even worse, one at a time! I can't have this.
I'm relatively new to 2008 r2 and IIS 7 so I have no idea what's happening here. Can someone explain what is going on and if there's an IIS/file permission setting I can update to resolve it at the top level folder?
I've tried adding anonymous permssions on the website in IIS and I've added permissions on the folder for IIS_User (even Everyone). I have an Administrator account and that's already set to allow me to read/write/modify the files.
This is typically the message I'm getting 'An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path X is denied'.
This is happening on ascx & aspx files as well as config files.
Edits:
The site is visible when debugging from Visual Studio.
The site is operating in Full Trust (internal)
Please help, this is stopping me from working and driving me insane!
By default in IIS 7, websites run as the local system's network account (NetworkService), not as IIS_User.
To verify, in IIS Manager, select the Site in question, click Basic Settings... and check the Application Pool it is assigned to. Then go into Application Pools and check the Identity for that Application Pool. Make sure that user listed is in the ACL.
Adding Everyone to the ACL should work instead, but just in case I would suggest you check the above. Also of course make sure when you set the ACL to check the box for resetting inheritance on all subfolders, if that is appropriate for your application.
You could also try setting the identity of the application pool to a local (or domain) user you have created which has access to your application directory.
Hope that helps.
Regarding whether other identities would work for your app pool, that depends entirely on whether those identities have permissions to all the files and/or databases and other resources you application needs to access. Right now you have the application running under your user account, which is generally not recommended. IIS has your password cached, and if you change it, your application will stop working until you update the application pool configuration.
As far as setting NTFS permissions, it can get tricky. Once you have disabled permissions inheritance, that file or folder will need to be updated individually every time you need a permission change. The flip side of this is that you cannot remove inherited entries on an ACL, you can only add to them. However you can design a strategy that offers a baseline level of permission at the root of a file structure, and then add permissions to subfolders/files.
In order to check & reset inheritance on a folder, go into its properties, security tab, click advanced, then click Edit. You can see whether this folder inherits permissions from its parent, and optionally wipe out all subfolder/file permissions and enable inheritance on all child folders & files.
Hope this helps.

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

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.
