Answer 1

HTTP Error 500.19 - IIS 7.5 Error 0x8007000d says about invalid element in your web.config. That's why IIS cannnot read this file for start your site. You can find probloem element by commenting some blocks and looking for type of error. Reasons of this error (500.19) may be different.

Answer 2

You probably have forgotten to install the Hosting Bundle for Windows

From Microsoft web site download the ASP.NET Core/.NET Core: Runtime & Hosting Bundle

Answer 3

Removed directorybrowse line from web.config file and worked for me.

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
        <files>
            <clear />
            <add value="Default.asp" />
            <add value="Default.htm" />
        </files>
    </defaultDocument>
  <!--<directorybrowse enabled="false"></directorybrowse>-->
</system.webServer>

Answer 4

It seems you are using the url rewrite functionality. Please make sure that you have installed your rewrite software in the server other wise you may get this error.

To check whether URL rewrite is installed you can go to "IIS Home" and see if there is URL rewrite component in the list of components.

If you didn't find one then you can install the same using the below link: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

You can also use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer and install the product URL Rewrite.

Answer 5

Try to install URL Rewrite by using Web Platform Installer. That fixed my problem.
