Answer 1

Identify what setting line 34 of D:\INETPUB\VHOSTS\sgi.net.in\ecom.sgi.net.in\web.config refers to.

Remove that section.

If you wish/need to override the IIS default setting, then in the IIS manager at the server level, select Feature Delegation. Find the feature and set it to Read\Write.

Answer 2

The error is pretty clear. Use of <location> tag in web.config is not allowed by your IIS configuration.
