&lt;p&gt;i just faced this issue and I found that these three were not the only issue. I faced this issue twice and none of the time, the issue os was any of three.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) First time, appPool was configured corrcetly. It was set diff in ISS and diff in central admin site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Second time, default site in ISS was deleted.&lt;/p&gt;
