I get this error 

The website declined to show this webpage

on my webserver when visiting http://localhost/exampledomain.com/

I enabled failed request tracing rules for ASP, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extention and WWW Server for 403 status codes but no log files are created at C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles

Is this a firewall issue or something?

    If it was a firewall issue then it wouldn't get as far as "The website declined to show this webpage". It sounds more like you haven't configured IIS correctly, or your Application Pool doesn't have permissions to the directory of where the application is located. – ColinM Sep 09 '17 at 20:35

    What a waste of points. There are several mentions by Google so that you should at least have been able to provide more information and make it a good question. – Thomas Weller Sep 09 '17 at 20:53

Your question lack a lot of information. But a quick search on Google reveals a lot of links with a possible solutions.

Or a list with links found on StackOverflow alone, which could have some useful information.

But the most common causes for this error seem to be the issues mentioned below. Most links mention one or more of these as a possible solution.

  • Incorrect framework version
  • Early exception in your Application_Start
  • Incorrect MVC version installed
  • Permission error on files/folders or AppPool
  • Framework not correctly registered > run aspnet_regiis -ir
