This happened with me on my local machine. The issue was incorrect IISExpres config. If you are getting this issue on your local environment (Visual Studio debug runs), check the IIS Express config file. Make sure your local site/application path is pointing to the correct location.

The configuration file is called applicationhost.config. It's stored here: My Documents > IIS Express > config . Usually (not always) one of these paths will work:

• %userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config\applicationhost.config
• %userprofile%\my documents\iisexpress\config\applicationhost.config
