I resolved the issue. The problem was C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file. In the config file, I deleted username and password definitions for applications and it worked well.

I had the same problem and I changed the Physical Path under the website's advanced settings to a dummy path then changed it back, then it started working.

This is one of those mystery errors. For me, the issue occurred when we cloned a development server. When I went to reconfigure some the sites in IIS on the cloned server, one of the sites threw this error. You need to delete all the sites that shared the same app pool in IIS and recreate them.

I had the same issue after clone a Web Server.

Solution:

Source Server:

aspnet_regiis -px "iisConfigurationKey" "C:\temp\iisConfigurationKey.xml" -pri 
aspnet_regiis -px "iisWasKey" "C:\temp\iisWasKey.xml" -pri

Destination Server:

aspnet_regiis -pi "iisConfigurationKey" "C:\temp\iisConfigurationKey.xml" 
aspnet_regiis -pi "iisWasKey" "C:\temp\iisWasKey.xml"

And, at the final, copy applicationhost.config from the source server to destination server.

I fixed this by disabling Anonymous Access in the application, then re-enabling it immediately. No IIS restart necessary.
