Actually i have published the asp.net core 6 application using visual studio 2022. When i created this project by VS 2022 at that time the web.config file is not available in the project. But after published my project using VS 2022 Solution Explorer. The web.config file is generated in the published code with default settings. but having big question is for me which settings will be in side the web.config file after publish the project. which will help to application to run on the IIS. Kindly help me with an example. Thanks.

I see that the webconfig file that it is complaining about is in a directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot . For security reasons, most developers do not put websites there, at least not for development. Is that where your website is at? Perhaps you can post the webconfig file. How did you deploy the website? Did you use Publish for the project in the Solution Explorer? Does the website work when you execute using Visual Studio? Is it an ASP.Net Core application? They have a server, called Kestrel, built into them. VS uses Kestrel when it executes an ASP.Net Core application.
