HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

Question

I created an MVC5 site and deployed to my dev machine IIS.
However I can't get past this error when I browse to the URL.
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

I tried implementing the settings in this thread, but I still get the same error.
ASP MVC in IIS 7 results in: HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

My setup:
Publish Method: File System
From IIS 7.5 I added a new Web Site and pointed to my published folder location.
I created a new app pool and set it to 4.0 and managed pipeline is integrated(also tried classic).

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I had same error and fixed error as following:

1) Open command prompt (cmd) and write command as 'appwiz.cpl'
2) Open the menu "Turn Windows features on or off"
3) Internet Information Services/Application Development Features
4) And checked ASP.NET 3.5 and ASP.NET 4.6

IIS

Hope will work for you
