I am getting this error when I try to run an ASP.NET application without a web.config file.
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid
as I read, we can run .NET applications without web config files, but when I tried it is giving me the error. I am using iis 7 on windows 7 machine.
When I create the application virtual directory inside inetpub/wwwroot it works fine. Why doesn't the other directory location?
The “Server error in '/' application” can occur if there is a typo in the file extension, for example a file or URL that references test. htl instead of test. html. If the file name is correct, then you may need to add the MIME typeto the server.
The applicationHost. config file is typically located at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
ApplicationHost. config is the root file of the configuration system when you are using IIS 7 and above. It includes definitions of all sites, applications, virtual directories and application pools, as well as global defaults for the web server settings (similar to machine.
One reason could be the version of .NET framework (on IIS or application pool level) is different from the application one.
Another reason could be if there are modules used in your web.config
which the current configuration of IIS doesn't recognize. E.g. URL rewrite
or other optional modules, which you have to explicitly enable before using.
This can be a reason:
If there is no Web.config file in the UNC directory, IIS 7.0 uses the rules that are defined for the parent directory. For the Web content to be served in this scenario, the worker-process identity must have access to the whole content directory. Otherwise, the Web request is rejected.
Details here.
You need to set permission for your Website folder or copy them to wwwroot
folder.
If you choose to set permission, there are two ways:
Then select Edit permission and Add a permission (IUSR - default iis user)
