title: Hosting basic html site on iis
body: <p>I have a basic web site (just html, js and css files) that I want to host on IIS on my local machine for testing purposes. The site runs fine when I run it directly as a file on my computer. I added a website on IIS, using the directory these files are located in, but when I try to launch it, I get an error page that says:</p>
  
  <p>An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to '[my site path]' because access is denied.</p>
  
  <p>It then says that the source file is a web.config. I know that ASP.NET sites use a web.config, but I don't even have one, and I just want to run a basic site using html, css, and javascript. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on what the fix might be? I made sure I have an application pool for the site.</p>
