Find and open Apache’s configuration file: httpd.conf

Using a editor like notepad++ , edit the httpd.conf file and scroll until you find a line like this:

The solution that worked for me:

Open your Internet Information Services manager and from the [your machine]/Web Sites/ Default Web Site node select the virtual folder which stores your project. Right Click and select Properties to select the ASP.NET tab page. Make sure the correct version ASP.NET Version is selected.
