Try

For a few attempts, I tried to change

this..

<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

to this..

<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Allow" />

Results

When trying to access "in inetmgr Modules worked!"

However RavenDB Studio does not work. The following image:

Config Error
   This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".  

Config File
   \\?\C:\Users\Riderman\RavenDB-Build-960\Web\web.config 

Answer 1

Check your server web.config and change overrideModeDefault from Deny to Allow.

<configSections>
  <sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
    <section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> 
    <section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

You can also manage sections on web server level (just select the Server in the left pane) in your IIS management console and then select "Feature Delegation":

As you see in the picture above all the features are Read/Write. Currently on my machine the Modules feature is Read Only, so I'd need to change it to Read/Write - in the right hand pane in Set Feature Delegation just click on Read/Write...
