I solved the problem by installing the development related features of IIS.

By default, IIS doesn't install all the required features.

You should install the IIS development related features to fix the problem.

ACCESSING LOCAL WEBSITE WITH IIS without Physical Path Authentication   Make sure you have installed URL Rewrite to your IIS Manager       Open the URL Rewrite application then navigate to Inbound Rules Import Rules      To import the rule  click the browse button then locate your  htaccess file then click import button      The text labeled with red are errors that are not accepted by IIS  so you have to remove them by clicking the errors in the converted rules and remove the text from the rewrite rules  Once you have get rid of the errors Click the APPLY button located at the top right corner  Then try to access your site without engaging users into the pool auth      I hope it helps  That s what I did
