Set the $session_handler = 'database' in /configuration.php and check database connection

check that you installed below Extention in iis:

PHP

IIS URL Rewrite

MySQL

after installing all the extentions you need to convert .htaccess URL rewrite rule into iis URL rewrite rule.

1)open iis manager.

2)select your Joomla site or application.

3)select URL rewrite from the middle pane.

4)in URL rewrite module windows select import rules from the cation pane.

enter image description here

5)now click on three dots(...) and select your .htaccess file, then click on import and apply these changes.

enter image description here

then restart the iis.

the reason behind this error has something misconfiguration in your configuration.php file, a problem with your PHP version, or with your database itself.

log in to PHPMyAdmin and check your maximum database size limit.
