HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error. Error Code    0x8007000d . When Creating a new website or converting a virtual directory to application.

Module    CustomErrorModule
Notification    SendResponse
Handler    Not yet determined
Error Code    0x8007000d
Config Error    Configuration file is not well-formed XML
Config File    \\?\C:\inetpub\temp\apppools\DefaultAppPool\DefaultAppPool.config
Requested URL    http://localhost:80/umbracotest
Physical Path   
Logon Method    Not yet determined

Solution which worked for me :

1. Goto C:\inetpub\temp\appPools\DefaultAppPool and find DefaultAppPool.config file , you will see 

<!-- ERROR: There's been an error reading or processing the applicationhost.config file.  -->

in it .

2. Delete this file .

3. Restart Your website from IIS Manager and check

4. Your website will start working now . If it doesnot and IIS gives again the error but a different one like httperror tag is not configured then you just have to enter a line in your website web.config file

<httpErrors errorMode="DetailedLocalOnly"></httpErrors>

5. Now restart your website from IIS manager and it will work .

Virtual Directory looking at parent web.config

Web Application inside a virtual directory refers web.Config of parent directory and error related to that configuration file encountered .

Solution for this is to include a statement : 

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> 
<system.web>
 ...
</system.web>
</location>

You have to insert the <location> tag as mentioned above in the parent web.Config .

How to run php website on IIS 7 with ASP.NET website simultaneously

The process to do this is ( i suppose that IIS 7 is currently working and serving a ASP.NET website ) install php from microsoft web platfom installer ( you can get that here - http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx ) it will automatically install the dependencies .

Now php is installed and we will have to install CGI from control panel -> Program and Features - > Turn windows features ON or OFF

and check CGI features as shown in picture

Now simply add a new website in IIS with default app pool and your site is up and running with php installed .

Recently i found out that my site was captured under a different domain name . When i was searching for some link in google there was a link which was pointing to my website's page but the domain name was entirely different from mine . I checked in my server that IIS was bound to all HTTP request coming through port 80 to my site hence someone just used my ip address under their domain name and started publishing my site under it . 

Solution to this problem is simple, bind your website in IIS to specific domain and never leave domain binding empty else you could also face the same problem .

The solution i found for this problem is on this blog post .
