HTTP Error 500.19 – Internal Server Error

In this article, I am going to explain about HTTP Error 500.19 – Internal Server Config Error –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”.
