copied!<p>There is <strong>no problem with your web.config</strong>. Your web site runs under a process. In iis you can define the identity of that process. The <strong>identity</strong> that, your web site's <strong>application pool</strong> runs as (<em>Network Services, Local System</em>, Etc. ...), should have permission to access and read web.config file.</p> <p><strong><em>Update:</em></strong></p> <p><em>This updated answer is same as above, but a little longer and simpler and improved.</em></p> <p><strong>First of all</strong>: you don't have to change any thing in your config file. <strong>It's OK</strong>. The problem is with <strong>windows file permissions</strong>.</p> <p>This problems occurs because <strong>your application</strong> can not <strong>access</strong> and <strong>read web.config</strong> file.</p> <p>Make the file accessible to <strong>IIS_IUSRS</strong> group. Just <strong>right click web.config</strong> and click <strong>properties</strong>, under <strong>security</strong> tab, add <strong>IIS_IUSRS</strong>.</p> <p>So what is this IIS_IUSRS thing?</p> <p>Your <strong>web site</strong> is <strong>like an exe</strong> file. Just like any exe file, it should be <strong>started by a user</strong> and it runs <strong>according to permissions</strong> assigned to that user.</p> <p>When your site is started in <strong>IIS</strong>, <strong>Application Pool</strong> of your web site is associated with <strong>a user</strong> (<em>Network Services, Local System</em>, Etc. ...) (and can be changed in IIS)</p> <p>So when you say <strong>IIS_IUSRS</strong>, it means <strong>any user</strong> (<em>Network Services, Local System</em>, Etc. ...) that your site is running as.</p> <p>And as <strong><em>@Seph</em></strong> mentioned in <strong>comment below</strong>: <em>If your computer is on a domain</em>, remember that <strong>IIS_IUSRS</strong> group is a <strong>local group</strong>. Also make sure that when you're trying to find this user check the location it should be set to local computer and not a corporate domain.</p>
