IIS - Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions

Did you ever try to create a new website in IIS, run it and get this error?


The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Easy fix!

  • Go to IIS, right click on your website and choose Edit Permissions. 
  • Click on the Security tab.  
  • Click on the Edit button.  
  • Click on the Add button.  
  • On the Enter the object names to Select, Type "Everybody" (without the quotes)
  • Click all the OK buttons.

Had to list this down because i keep forgetting!
