The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server

I have configured rewrite rules in my application on IIS. However when I try to enter the page which should redirect me to ASP.NET Core Web API action I get an error: 

The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server

Note: Changing static files handler mapping doesn't help.

I run onto the same problem with IIS hosted Angular Universal website calling .NET Core API. I had to move the setup from one working server to another I faced the problem on the new one, which confused me a lot. Searched a lot in the space and configured many things as

  • app pool to Not managed code
  • folders permissions
  • authentication and authorization rules

At some point I found out I need to install .NET Core 6 Hosting bundle, which adds two IIS modules -

AspNetCoreModule

and

AspNetCoreModuleV2

The other thing that I had to do is to

Application Request Routing Cache -> Server Proxy Settings -> Enable Proxy settings

I'll answer my question: Error doesn't seem to be very descriptive. What solved the issue is installing Application Request Routing Cache and enabling proxy in IIS Manager in Application Request Routing Cache -> Server Proxy Settings -> Enable Proxy
