Unrecognized configuration section system.applicationHost - iis

I was planning to add MinFileBytesPerSec attribute with in system.applicationHost configuration to overcome DOS vulnerability. However as soon as I add system.applicationHost within Configuration section of web.config, and run the application, it throws me an error stating:
Unrecognized configuration section system.applicationHost
I verified and I could find system.applicationHost defined in ApplicationHost.config file, and since I am using IIS 7.5, system.applicationHost should be available with default installation.
I am stuck with this issue of why system.applicationHost is not being recognized, any suggestion will be very helpful.

It is not allowed for a web.config file to define anything about <system.applicationHost>. Such changes must go to applicationHost.config.

The following things you need to verify.
Dll's version if your site in website mode you need to remove all old Dll's and replace with new one.
Need verify the .NET Framework version version is available or not in the system.
check the event log whether Kentico upgrade is successful or not because on first run Kentico will updates the database changes and their state will be logged in event log

Error 0x80070021 IIS windows 8

I'm trying to deploy web pages on IIS. When I try to browse site I got such mistake:
This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens
when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by
default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location
tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".
Section in my config file:
<security>
<authentication>
<basicAuthentication enabled="false" />
</authentication>
</security>
May anybody help me to "unlock" parent section (as far as I understand).
You may need to allow feature delegation.
IIS Manager -> Feature Delegation
Select "Authentication - Basic" and change it to Read/Write.
By default it is ReadOnly.
I had the same kind of problem when I tried to deploy ASP.NET pages on IIS. (To be honest donĀ“t know if exactly the same - I am using Windows 10 now, but got same kind of message).
At first it seamed complicated to fix but found out that had a really easy solution.
I Just needed to reinstal IIS at the Control Painel - but with ASP option enabled (I enabled all of the resources for development of applications).
And at the Website (basic) configuration had to select .NET v4.5 Classic.
Error 500.19 and file execution issues and locked on IIS 8
To resolve it I had to execute in cmd:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd unlock config -section:system.webServer/handlers
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd unlock config -section:system.webServer/modules

Modifying machine.config in any way causes "Service Unavailable" browser error for SharePoint 2013 site

I need to add some new entries to machine.config on a machine running SharePoint 2013 (server). However, no matter what change I make, after I have saved the file and restarted IIS (both steps are successful), all SharePoint sites return HTTP Error 503 ("Service Unavailable") when an attempt is made to view them in a browser on a client machine.
In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, it seems that the entire server becomes unavailable - no application pool or site can be accessed, i.e. trying to click anything returns "Filename:redirection.config / Error: Cannot read configuration file". This error goes away once the original machine.config is restored.
The machine.config file I'm trying to edit is located at:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config
Any help on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
Turns out you need to define <sectionGroup> elements in machine.config - I was not aware of that. E.g. if you want to use <Test> key somewhere, you need to add it to the appropriate section elsewhere in machine.config like this: <section name="Test" .../>. More info can be found on MSDN.

IIS not able to locate the web.config

I have a deployed a web application in IIS. Which used to work without any issues. Recently i have shifted that web application to another machine, Here is the problem. Once i setup the Webapplication when i opened the default document in IIS im getting the File not found error as following
Internal Server Error
\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config
I have no clue why the IIS is not able to find the web.config. The file is present in the path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config but the IIS is looking in the path \?\C:....
Please let me know how to resolve this??
Firstly this is documented on support.microsoft.com so I would suggest that anyone who has this issue read this first as it covers a number of solutions which I won't
Now from personal experience I encountered this error after setting up a new development machine. What I had forgotten to do was install the Url Rewrite 2.0 IIS module. Sadly the IIS error gives absolutely no idea that this is the actually issue.
Therefore to solve this issue investigate the system.webServer setting in our web.config and ensure that you have installed all the iis modules that you use. I did this by systematically removing elements from my web.config until I came across the cause.
In my case, I was running ASP .NET Core website so I had to install .Net Core Runtime from
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/current/runtime
I know it's old post but I resolved the same issue as follows:
If you are using TFS and you are getting this problem then Reason is ".vs" file is not excluded from commit.
Because of that ".vs\config\applicationhost.config" gets the local version of another user/Developer.
To Solve the error, First open that file Update Physical path inside "" xml tag.
Also ask user to exclude this folder from TFS to prevent future issues.
If you are getting mysql localhost error. What I will do will work for you.
Control Panel(View by: Large Icons) >> Programs and Features >>
(Usually upper left corner) Turn Windows Features on or off >>
Internet Information Services >> Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services
After Restart.

Try changing the version of .NET that the application pool is running under.
You've not mentioned which version of Umbraco you are using but I'm guessing 4.7.
If so you'll probably need to be running it under .NET4, unless you have specifically downloaded the .NET3.5 version direct from Codeplex.
try to change the port to other number rather than using default 80 port.
hope this helps
