If you are running your web application on IIS 7.5 or above, please ensure that the role services for IIS are enabled properly. The role services of interest are : ASP.NET, Basic Authentication, HTTP Redirection, ISAPI filters, etc.

You could go to the role services via Add or Remove programs - Turn Windows features on or off. Hope this helps.
