Solution: 1. Add IIS_IUSRS with Read permission on files in the folder 2. Change IIS authentication method to BasicAuthentication 3. refresh the website. It will work

  • already did . no luck :( – ratna Mar 05 '18 at 08:03
  • Get rid of the virtual directory, maybe the location of where you are trying to create it to does the have the sufficient permissions. If that is the case, it might be due to application pool identity not having permissions – Umar Karimabadi Mar 05 '18 at 08:51

  • thanks umar but i'm using iis express . how to see virtual directories in iis express? – ratna Mar 05 '18 at 11:58
  • Ahh okay, go to your documents folder and you will find your application host config file. You can find it here C:\Users\umar.karimabadi\Documents\IISExpress\config. Then search for 'sites' in the config and remove the virtual directory from the config – Umar Karimabadi Mar 05 '18 at 12:09
  • in config file i found applicationhost.config , aspnet.config , redirection.config these files and i can't open redirection.config file . i'm adding all these files content in my question – ratna Mar 05 '18 at 12:25
  • Look at your projects csproj file. Open it and look for a tag iis express and remove it. This is probably why it does not load because in the csproj file for your website there must be some configuration to set up iis express – Umar Karimabadi Mar 05 '18 at 12:39

You have to delete the file in the path "%USERPROFILE\Documents\IISISExpress\config" called "applicationhost.config". Hope it helps :)
