500.21 Bad module “ManagedPipelineHandler” in its module list

Question

I am getting the error:

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error Handler \"CloudConnectHandler\" has a bad module \"ManagedPipelineHandler\" in its module list

Answer 1

I ran into this error on a fresh build of Windows Server 2012 R2. IIS and .NET 4.5 had been installed, but the ASP.NET Server Role (version 4.5 in my case) had not been added. Make sure that the version of ASP.NET you need has been added/installed like ASP.NET 4.5 is in this screenshot.
