I just wanted to point out that this user's comment fixed my problem and I'd like to give an example of how mine looked and what I changed it to.

https://superuser.com/a/850494/687849

The bottom of my C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file had multiple entries for what seemed to be the main folder and then again for each individual folder. When trying to navigate to those folders I would get 550 Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

At the bottom of the bad file there was an entry for...

location path="Default Web Site"

and then additional entries under this for...

location path="Default Web Site/FAKEFOLDERNAME"

Once I removed the entries for these additional subfolders, everything worked fine.

Somehow I applied permissions incorrectly in IIS and couldn't re-do it in the GUI.

  • That's the issue. I definitely understand I need to interact more, but I wanted to give praise. Jan 12, 2020 at 20:56

Answered. See above. The issue was solved be editing the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file and removing permission entries for subfolders.
