IIS7 to IIS8.5 config file error - iis

I converted an application on iis7 with framework 4 for iis 8.5 with framework 4.5 but gives me an error on a section of web.config:
The configuration section 'handlers' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration
web.config:

ServiceStack Razor not rendering pages correctly after upgrade to 4.x

After upgrading the ServiceStack libraries on my website from 3.9.71 to 4.0.33, I noticed that ServiceStack.Razor is no longer rendering pages correctly. It appears to not be reading the layout.cshtml file. The pages load without the layout and without an error or warning. I've tried putting the layout.cshtml file in /Views/_layout.cshtml and /Views/Shared/_layout.cshtml.
In addition to replacing the packages during the upgrade, I also made the necessary changes to the Web.config file. Here is a snippet from my Web.config file. Please let me know if this is helpful or if I need to provide other information. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like the issue was that my code used the ServiceStack.Service.GetSession() method instead of the ServiceStack.Service.SessionAs() method to retrieve the UserSession. Not sure why this worked in 3.9.x but after I changed it, it started rendering in 4.0.x.
For the difference between the two methods checkout this stackoverflow question. They can't be used interchangeably.

sietmap.xml inaccessible in a site created with orchard. How to fix it?

I just published a website that I created using orchard cms. I added sitemap.xml to the root folder but can't access it via browser.
I am guessing that I probably need to modify web.config file but I am not sure how.
EDIT:
Here is my webconfig. I don't know how to format it properly here. I am accessing sitemap.xml at woodworkingoc.com/sitemap.xml but get 404.

Under the <system.web> section of the web.config, make sure you have an entry for sitemap.xml inside the <httpHandlers> block:
<httpHandlers>
<!-- see below -->
<clear />
<add path="robots.txt" verb="GET" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add path="SiteMap.xml" verb="GET" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
<add path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
Also make sure you have an entry in system.webserver/handlers that allows sitemap.xml:
<system.webServer>
<handlers accessPolicy="Script,Read">
<!-- clear all handlers, prevents executing code file extensions, prevents returning any file contents -->
<clear/>
<add name="Robots" path="robots.txt" verb="GET" modules="StaticFileModule" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read" />
<add name="SiteMap" path="SiteMap.xml" verb="GET" modules="StaticFileModule" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read" />
<!-- Return 404 for all requests via managed handler. The url routing handler will substitute the mvc request handler when routes match. -->
<add name="NotFound" path="*" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" requireAccess="Script"/>
</handlers>
These mods allow static files like sitemap.xml to be served publicly.
I personally prefer to use Advanced Sitemap module to generate sitemaps. It also takes care about sitemap.xml file accesibillity. You can take a look at it's sources and most likely you will find an answer on your question.
To add the robots.txt the httpHandlers are not necessary, because Orchard is in Integrated mode. Set in the Orchard web.config in the handlers part to script,read:
<handlers accessPolicy="Script,Read">
and add after the <clear/> part these two lines:
<add name="Robots" path="robots.txt" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read"/>
<add name="Sitemap" path="sitemap.xml" verb="*" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="File" requireAccess="Read"/>
I'm using Orchard 1.7.2
If somebody's looking this question to figure out how to setup robots.txt only (without a sitemap.xml) then you could use a simple Orchard Robots Module. It gives an easy way to set robots.txt contents without editing web.config or whatsoever.

403 forbidden all *.axd files - aragh

I can run the application on my development machine.
When I go to publish it to my production machine, it does not work. Says that the .axd files are forbidden.
Any ideas? I'm getting so frustrated!
Edit:
As a test, I've changed to be "storage=file;". When I send a request to the server for generating a chart, the chart actually appears in my folder - it just doesn't get sent back to the browser in the request.
ARAGH! What is going on!?!?!

URL rewrites on the web site are inherited by all child applications. One solution is to add this to your application web.config:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<!-- remove parent rewrite rules -->
<clear/>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
So the answer.
URL Rewrites are a killer.
I had a wordpress installation on a web application which was above the application I was having problems with. The wordpress installation was actually doing rewrites and because it wasn't a file or directory (wordpress default) it was rewriting any request that didn't have a physical corresponding file or folder.
If you're getting random errors, and you're using sub applications - look at the REWRITES!

AjaxToolkit IIS7 Asp.Net 4.0: Sys is not defined; handler mapping issue?

I have moved my asp.net 3.5 app to asp.net 4.0 and moved from windows 2003 (iis6) to windows 2008 r2 (iis7.5) and now i have this sys is undefined error.
i have the app running in an integrated application pool. everything works except my ajaxtoolkit 3.0.20820.0 dll
now I have read several blog posts, most of them cover asp.net 2.0 web.config files and not the minimized asp.net 4.0 config files.
here are some parts from my current config file:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<handlers>
<add name="AjaxToolkit" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add name="ChartImg" verb="*" path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>
and another part:
<httpHandlers>
<remove verb="*" path="*.asmx"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.asmx" validate="false" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<add verb="GET" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler" validate="false"/>
<add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>
There is not much info available for asp.net 4.0 and ajaxtoolkit http handler issue, so I hope some guru # stackoverflow can help me out :)
EDIT:
since I have this stupid sys undefined thing, my global.asax gives this on_Error:
Error Message: This is an invalid script resource request.
Stack Trace:
at System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
at System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler.System.Web.IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
it's on scriptresource.axd files :S
Edit2: the strange thing is that my local web.config hasn't got any handler stuff in the web.config and it runs on the development webserver casini
Edit 3: people say that Adrian has the solution here:
http://budigelli.wordpress.com/2007/05/01/error-sys-is-undefined-error/
but I can't get it to work on IIS7
Edit 4: I've read somewhere that IIS7 has a wildcard mapping at Handler mapping
I have seen that there is an extensionless wildcard mapping in de sorted list above the .axd mapping. but now I still don't know how to configure the mappings in IIS7 to support the Ajaxtoolkit!
For asp.net 4.0 on IIS 7 and IIS 7.5 add this to your web.config:
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
UPDATE: I have changed the version to the correct version for ASP.NET 4.0
OK solved it:
I found this comment of Cassiano at this URL:
http://madskristensen.net/post/Optimize-WebResourceaxd-and-ScriptResourceaxd.aspx
and then I realized that I had the URL rewriting extension in IIS7 which appended a trailing slash to everything. (the rule was generated by the wizard of the rewriting component)
here is my current web.config parts which i used and had ajaxtoolkit to work:
