Take a look at the ApplicationHost.config file. It should be located under “c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config”. This is an XML file that contains all of the IIS configuration data. You can manually modify this file to quickly create copies of your website. Just make sure to make a backup first in case you have problems.
Go to Control Panel\Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off, and enable Basic Authentication under IIS:
You need to add net.tcp to the enabled protocols of your site. Go to IIS Manager, right-click on your website, go to ‘Manage Web Site’ or ‘Manage Application’, then to ‘Advanced Settings…’. There you see ‘Enabled Protocols’. It probably says http. Change it to http,net.tcp. If you want to configure bindings, right-click on your website … Read more
When I got this error it appeared to be due to a security setting. When I changed the “Connect As” property to an administrator then I no longer got the message. Obviously this isn’t a good solution for a production environment – one should probably grant the least privileges necessary for the user IIS is … Read more
Did you check the binding is IIS? (inetmgr.exe) It may not be registered to accept all hostnames on 8080.

It sounds like you’re looking for applicationHost.config, which is located in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config. Yes, it’s an XML file, and yes, editing the file by hand will affect the IIS config after a restart. You can think of IIS Manager as a GUI front-end for editing applicationHost.config and web.config.
The problem was a missing dependency that wasn’t on the server but was on my local machine. In our case, it was a Devart.Data.Linq dll. To get to that answer, I turned on IIS tracing for 500 errors. That gave a little bit of information, but the really helpful thing was in the web.config setting … Read more
ApplicationPoolIdentity is actually the best practice to use in IIS7+. It is a dynamically created, unprivileged account. To add file system security for a particular application pool see IIS.net’s “Application Pool Identities”. The quick version: If the application pool is named “DefaultAppPool” (just replace this text below if it is named differently) Open Windows Explorer … Read more
