Category: IIS

This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault=”Deny”), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode=”Deny” or the legacy allowOverride=”false”.

So when I am hosting ASP.NET MVC web site in iis 7 I got following error.

error1

So I followed following steps to get this solved.

Click “Start button”
in the search box, enter “Turn windows features on or off”
in the features window, Click: “Internet Information Services”
Click: “World Wide Web Services”
Click: “Application Development Features”
Check (enable) the features. I checked all but CGI.
