I am using Windows 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 and have mapped the source of my website to a network drive. When I do, the below error occurs. When pointing to the local c: drive the website works.
Error Summary
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

The solution for me was to open up IIS, click on my site, and under Advanced Settings change the physical path to the network share like \\server\share\.. instead of using the mapped drive.
Original source that helped me arrive to this solution is here: http://forums.iis.net/t/1157959.aspx
Another cause is not having the URL Rewrite Module installed if your web-app references this in the associated Web.config file – this is detailed in this Stack Overflow Question
The IIS server and the server with the shared folder must each have an account with the exact same username and password. Make sure this account has "Read & Execute", "List folder contents", and "Read" access to the shared folder.
Connect within IIS using UNC. (E.g., add a virtual directory to the site; enter an Alias; enter the physical path as \servername\foldername; click "Connect As..."; choose "Specific User"; click "Set..."; enter the user name and password referenced in step 1.) Current versions of IIS do not support mapped drives. Don't waste your time trying to make them work.
Also, make a big mental (or written) note for yourself and other administrators: If you ever change the password for that account, do it on both servers and within the IIS connection.
For someone who is getting this error on your local system, it can happen when you share code across multiple servers or copy an existing project to a new location and it's virtual directory path still refers to an older path.
This happened to me as I was sharing a project on a Google drive and was accessing it from 2 different systems. (I know, Should've used version control system)
Solution:
Right click on the project >> Web >> Create virtual directory
It will probably show a prompt. Select Yes and you are done.
The main reason behind this error is the physical path i.e web site folder cannot be under the users folder, desktop folder, or any related folder. If it's there, move it or place it on other drive and try again.

I have Microsoft Windows server 2008 R2 and have the IIS 7 running.
I have coded a web application on a seperate laptop and would like to publish it now on my server (serves as AD, DNS, File Server, IIS) that runs locally and has no external access. We will be using the application internally only.
I have followed the steps to install a website on IIS, however, it does not work. Below are the steps I have done.
Created a folder hierarchy and pasted the code files there. (check below image. The code files are inside wwwroot)
Create a new website from the IIS Manager as the below image.
The wwwroot folder has SYSTEM permission and it inherits the permissions from the parent. (Does it need to have other permissions?!?)
Whenever I visit the website, I get an error that the page is not found.
UPDATE
Upon #Ravi A's answer below, I have tried his steps as the below image, but the username is not found and the error persists.
Any ideas what is wrong?

You need to add a binding in your DNS i.e. ping mysite.local should resolve to the server IP, in your case since it's a intranet it should resolve to 192.168.1.253.
See here on how to do it. You need access to DNS Manager.
Also since you are not clear on DNS mapping leave the hostname empty and use machine name or IP to browse the site.
I have been running DNN 7 on Azure using some store module that we have grown out of. We are in the process of moving our store to nopCommerce. But since we have so much content, other than the store on the DNN site, we would to explore keeping the DNN site and setting up a virtual directory with nopCommerce and run them both under the same domain name.
I have configured the virtual directory MyDNNPortal.AzwureWebSites.net/store to point to the physical folder "site_nopCommerce" and checked the "application" checkbox.
DNN works fine, but when trying to navigate to MyDNNPortal.AzwureWebSites.net/store, I get the following error:
"The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred."
This error is just those words in black on a white screen. It is not the typical IIS error.
I have customErrors set to off in both the DNN app and the nopCommerce app. I have the show detailed errors option checked in the Azure config for the DNN website. But that is the only error I get.
If I go to the LogFiles folder via FTP, there is an errorpage000001.htm page that sheds some more light:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Error Code 0x80070003
Config Error
Cannot read configuration file
Config File
\\?\D:\home\site\_nopCommerce\web.config
Requested URL
http://mywebsite:80/store
Physical Path
D:\home\site\_nopCommerce
Any ideas? Is this structure possible (running nopCommerce in a virtual directory within a DNN site)?
I've seen this error on my localhost and then add IIS_USERS permissions to fix...but I am not aware of the ability or need to configure those types of permissions on Azure.
This is very simple to reproduce:
Create a new VM (xtra small in my case, tried both Windows 2012
and 2008R2)
Install IIS using default config.
Create a Web Site using IIS Manager specifying a folder such as
C:\inetpub\simple.
Using Windows Explorer, create a new file called index.txt
Rename the file to index.htm
Edit the file with Notepad to make it a basic but valid html5
document and Save.
From IIS Manager, select the new website and click the Browse
Website link on the right side of the screen.
I get:
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
Now look at the Contents of the web site in IIS Manager and you will see that the file has a .txt extension pasted onto the end : index.htm.txt
This does not happen on my local server.
I am new to Azure and probably missing something very basic but right now I feel like I am going insane. Can anyone put me out of my misery?
This is IIS configuration issue, not Azure specific. And I would not even say it is an issue at all.
index.html is not in the list of default documents for IIS. And has never been. index.htm however is. You get 403.14 forbidden, because Directory Browsing is by default forbidden in IIS. Again, absolutely typical IIS configuration which hasn't changed for ages!
Your solutions:
Configure index.html to be in default documents (read how to do this here)
enable directory browsing (read how to do it here)
For the sake of others as stupid as me, this is all down to Windows Explorer configuration. Normally, the first thing that I do with a new Windows install is to turn off 'Hide known filename extensions'. This time I forgot.
I am trying to access a static file on a Novell file server.
The drives are mapped on the IIS box. The application is using the the default application pool.
The path (not shown in Title above) is : \cms1\vol4\cms\008\docs\008\2011\Nov\0224294.pdf
If I enter the above path from the command line on the IIS box, it opens the PDF just fine. When accessed via IIS, I receive the error shown in the Title above.
I have researched numerous threads looking for an answer. Most of them suggest changing the properties of the application pool. I have modified it to use my User ID and Password, and confirmed this is the case by checking w3wp.exe, and it shows as running with my user ID. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Does your server have CIFS enabled? If it is just using NCP, then is Client32 installed on that machine so that NCP access will be enabled?
If you enable CIFS on the Netware or OES server then there is no need for Client32 on the IIS server. In either case, the service needs to try to connect to the share as a user with sufficient rights. I imagine the IIS_IUSRS account is not existing in the eDirectory tree.
hi i am comletly new to iis and asp.net i am trying to setup bugNET on a godaddy server. i created a virtual directory and once i tried to launch the site i get this error:
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
here is complete detail of what i did.
hosting: godaddy
created virtual directory (child folder of root) - named: devbunk with these settings (anonymous access, directory browsing)
that is all i can do to with iis on godaddy.
the error tells me that i need to turn the virtual directory as an application. godaddy doesnt let me do that... how do i do it? btw, i have iis7 setup.
You can configure this with Godaddy Hosting Control Center. log in to godaddy hosting center.
Go to Content >> IIS Management.
Click on the pencil icon to edit your selected directory.
you will get a popped up screen with three check boxes. You need to check the one that says "Set Application Root".
Click Ok and your directory will be configured as an application in IIS.
Hope this helps you and feel free to ping me if you need more info.
You need godaddy to do that, usually hosters do offer the ability to convert a regular folder as an application through their Control Panel, so if you have access to one search for that option. Other hosters give access through IIS Manager and Web Deploy to convert folders to applications as well, but it boils down to "you need your hoster to do that".
There are no ways for you to do that through Web.config or FTP or etc. I think Front Page Server Extensions did had a way as well. The best thing is contact your hoster and ask them what is the right way of doing this. Usually all hosters will allow you to create as many applications as you need as long as they run the same .net version.
Check the properties on Web.Config to ensure "Copy to Output Directory" is set to "Do not copy"
