Cause

Module runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests is enabled in the domain's web.config file.

The lines below exist in %plesk_vhosts%example.com\httpdocs\web.config:

<modules 
 runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=“true”>
   ...
</modules>

Resolution

  1. Log into Plesk.

  2. Go to Domains > example.com > File Manager page.

  3. Click on the file named web.config to open it for editing.

  4. Disable the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests module by modifying the lines as below:

    • Before:

      <modules
      runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=“true”>
      ...
      </modules>

    • After:

      <modules
      runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=“false”>
      ...
      </modules>

  5. Press Save button to apply changes.
