Unable to browse to our Certificate Authority website

I am in the middle of renewing our Exchange certificate. When I browse to http://localhost/certserv, IE tells me that the website can't be displayed.
More specifically, when I browse to that site via IIS, I receive the error below.
My IIS expertice is limited so I don't want to start to change how the modules are handled etc without knowing exactly what I'm doing.

Thanks for your input!

I don't think so. I don't actually get the options below in IIS7 manager; I don't see 'Advanced settings' anywhere with the Application Pool selected as described in the article.
Could that have something to do with IIS7 running on Server 2008R2?

Any other suggestions anyone?
I have tried mapping script points to the ISAPI .dll in Handler Mappings. There are still a few sources that don't have a specific file assigned to them such as AboMapperCustom-1738171, AboMapperCustom-17386187, OPTIONSVerbHandler, TRACEVerbHandler and StaticFile.
The simply have a * path.

Checking the default application pool, which is the one certsrv uses, 32bit application is set to false (and so are all the other pools).

Two things I have noticed when comparing IIS on a CA which has the certsrv site working with our IIS setup is that:
•there is no .ASP section in the certsrv configuration pane and
•when trying to enable HTTPS it says: 'The Site does not have a secure binding (HTTPS) and cannot accept SSL connections

Is there an easy way to repair certsrv or IIS?

In the worst case scenario, can I just setup a new CA server?

Thanks
uninstall the web enrollment role and IIS then reinstall them again, you can always install new CA server.
New developments:
I played around a bit more with the Handler Mappings and assigned .NET Classic mode to the certsrv site.
I was then able to access the website but got the following error:
'No certificate templates could be found. You do not have permission to request a certificate from this CA, or an error occured while accessing the Active Directory'.

Any further suggestions are appreciated.
Some more info:I can only access the site through IIS manager (not by opening a browser session outside IIS) and HTTPS access also isn't working at this stage... (page cannot be displayed).
