SYMPTOMS
When you visit a Web site that is hosted on Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Server Error in Application &quot; &quot;

HTTP Error 404.6 – VERB_DENIED

HRESULT: 0

Description of HRESULT


 * 1) The operation completed successfully.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because no verbs are added to the section in the applicationHost.config file. Additionally, the allowUnlisted property of the section is set to false. This setting denies all the requests that add verbs that are listed in the section. The section is under the  node in the applicationHost.config file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:  In a text editor, open the ApplicationHost.config file.

The ApplicationHost.config file is in the following folder:

%SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\config

 Locate the  tag.  Change this tag to .

Note If you do not want to allow all the unlisted verbs for security reasons, you can explicitly add these verbs. For example, you can replace the  tag with the following code:   </ol>
