HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error following upgrade to 2.3.9.6

Hi there.

I am running on ASP.NET 4 (4.0.30319), with SQL 2008.

I have just upgraded my existing installation to mojoPortal 2.3.9.6 and I was able to successfully run the <site>/Setup/Default.aspx script. I now get the 500.19 error message when I try to access the site with the following clarification text:

This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".

The config source:

1004: <system.webServer>

1005: <defaultDocument>

1006: <files>

If I try to access <site>/Default.aspx I get a different message:

We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request. etc.

I have just tried accessing the <site>/Setup/Default.aspx file again but I get the "we're sorry" message described above. I have tried using the web.config files for both full trust and medium trust. The website is serving static files ok.

I have read a few of the 500.19 threads and none seem to be helping me here. Pointers to where to look next would be gratefully received.

Re: HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error following upgrade to 2.3.9.6

I seem to have got round the 500.19 error message. The config source is defining default documents that are already defined elsewhere on my site configuration through config with my host. Commenting out the <defaultDocument> element has got me to the stage where I can see the website again.
