As the error idnicates -  This happens when the section is locked at a parent level   To unlock the section you can use appcmd exe and execute the following command    windir  system32 inetsrv appcmd exe unlock config -section system webServer handlers -commitpath apphost   For more information on about section locking and what a parent configuration context is refer to IIS documentation

Your web config describes that you re using forms authentication - make sure you enable forms authentication and disable anonymous authentication in IIS under the Authentication menu  for the website that is running in IIS

I also was getting the same problem but after brain storming with IIS and google for many hours  I found out the solution  This error is because some settings are disabled in IIS applicationHost config   Below are the steps to solution    Go to C  Windows System32 inetsrv config applicationHost config and open in notepad Change the following key value present in     lt section name  handlers  overrideModeDefault  Deny    gt  change this value from  Deny  to  Allow   lt section name  modules  allowDefinition  MachineToApplication  overrideModeDefault  Deny    gt   change this value from  Deny  to  Allow     It worked for me

Check if IIS server installed the URL rewrite feature   If it is not installed then make sure your web config file don t have the URL rewrite related configuration    lt  -- Make sure don t have below config  if server have not installed url rewrite feature  -- gt   lt rewrite gt     lt rules gt       lt rule name  Fail bad requests  gt         lt match url       gt        Some time we copied the config from legacy server and straight away deploy to brand new server  then we may encounter such kind of  500 issue

If you re running IIS on that computer for the first time  you should try running the ASP NET IIS registration tool  aspnet regiis exe    Here s how to do that  If you re using  net framework v4  open command prompt as an administrator  and change directory to your  net framework base folder using   CD C  Windows Microsoft NET Framework v4 0 30319   or  if you re using a 64 bit computer  use   CD C  Windows Microsoft NET Framework64 v4 0 30319   when you ve successfully navigated to the appropriate directory  execute the ASP NET IIS registration tool using   aspnet regiis -i   If you re using a different  NET framework version  simply replace v4 0 30319 with the appropriate folder name   Hope this helps
