Web.Config - Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions

Question

I am getting the error:

Module  IIS Web Core
Notification    Unknown
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code  0x80070005
Config Error    Cannot read configuration          


        

Answer 1

First, make sure IUSR has Read permission on the config file (which I believe you have done that)

Then, change IIS authentication method to BasicAuthentication

If still not working, probably the .config extension is not properly installed in IIS.

Try all 3! Good luck!

EDIT: Forget to ask you, what kind of appliation is it?
