After about 4 hours battling with this error, and wondering why my website could not load, I managed to figure out what the problem was! Since I have installed a trial version of Windows 7, IIS 7.5 works differently from Vista’s IIS 7.
So I did the following procedure to get rid of the error and now my website is up and running again on my localhost
- go into Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- expand node with your computer name on left side and select “Application Pools”
- now in the window on the right side, right click “Classic .NET AppPool” and select “Advanced Settings…”
- find “Identity” property and change its value to “LocalSystem”
That solved the problem!
