ASP.NET website "Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions" in IIS 7 and Windows Server 2008
"The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again."

I couldn't get this working until I gave read permissions to Network Service and Everybody
Another possible cause: If you restored from a backup or zip, make sure the files are not encrypted (usually indicated by a green highlight).
