I am getting this errror in my newly created website in Windows 7 and IIS 7.5. I created an SSL certificate and done binding new website.
HTTP Error 4
IIS 7 also creates "IUSR" as default user to access files via IIS. So make sure user IUSR has read access to files/folders.
How to check if IUSR has read Access? Right Click -> Folder -> Properties -> Security Tab See if IUSR is in Group or user names list, If No.
Click Edit -> Add -> Advanced -> Find Now -> Select IUSR and click OK -->click Apply
