Looks like this is a very generic message from iis  in my case we enabled integrated security on web config but forgot to change IIS app pool identity  Things to check -   go to event viewer on your server and check exact message  -make sure your app pool and  web config using same security E g Windows integrated    Note  this may not help every time but this might be one of the reason for above error message

The key information in this error is this line      This error can be caused by a virtual   directory not being configured as an   application in IIS    In IIS  you can have several applications  but they must be configured as an application   Generally  when you create a web project it maps directly to an IIS application   Check with your hosting service on how to create an IIS application for your web app   Edit - added If this is on your server  you can set this up yourself following the instructions in  Frazell Thomas s answer   He beat me to finding that link   To save yourself some reading  you should be able to focus in on the Creating Virtual Directories and Local Web Sites section

This wont necessarily fix the problem   but it will tell you what the real problem is  Its currently trying to use a custom error page that doesn t exist  If you add this line to Web config  under system web tag  it should give you the real error    lt system web gt       lt  -- added line -- gt       lt customErrors mode  Off   gt       lt  -- added  line -- gt   lt  system web gt

Look at these two excerpts      I uploaded my website to my domain under the public folder    and     This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS    It s pretty clear to me that you did exactly what you said you did  and no more  i e  you transfered the files to the web server  but nothing else   You need to configure that public folder as a virtual directory in IIS as the error is telling you  or it s just not going to work

Have you configured the virtual directory as an ASP NET application for the right framework version    See IIS Setup

Try removing the contents of the  lt compilers gt  tag in the web config file   Depending on who you re hosting with  some don t allow the compiler in production   Your application is trying to compile when it is called and their servers won t allow it

Looks like you have  lt authentication mode  Windows    gt  in your web config file but your hosting provider won t let you use that  Just remove that line
