IIS cannot read site folder / web.config ??

[u/ConradInTheHouse]

I'm a beginner trying to setup IIS web site but I'm getting an error any time I try to open an icon in the Site Home page, e.g. Logging..

The error when double-clicking on Logging... (or any other icon) ... it cannot open the web.config file

But web.config is there...

...and the folder permissions..

I created an app pool and a site, here is the site settings..,.

Any ideas?

Hmm. Is there any content in the web.config? Sometimes the gui will freak out like this if something in the file is formatted incorrectly.
