DefaultAppPool IIS7 issue

Hi everyone,

We have gained access to a new ec2 Cloud server and are in the process of installing our software and web portal on it.  We have configured the web portal, but when be try and access it through localhost, we encounter a HTTP 503 error.  I checked the Event Viewer to find this message many times during my attempts:

Description:
The worker process for application pool 'DefaultAppPool' encountered an error 'Cannot read configuration file
' trying to read global module configuration data from file '\\?\<EMPTY>', line number '0'.  Worker process startup aborted.

Your response appears to show how to set up application pools (Which we have already done) but it doesn't seem to be specific to our error in any way.

Please advise.
