I created a copy of the wwwroot folder(which currently has the website information) and renamed it to test_wwwroot and the path locations are c:\Inetpub\wwwroot & c:\Inetpub\test_wwwroot respectively. But now when i try to run the newly created copy which is test_wwwroot it is throwing me the error as below. Can someone guide me if there is any step that i missed or is there any other process to make a copy of the functioning website to use it as dev/test environment through the same IIS manager. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once again i really do appreciate your immediate response. But i just got it fixed and able to open the website within the server and outside of the server. The copied website was missing "iisstart.htm" page from the location IIS Manager -> websites-> Default website(whatever the website is)->rt click and select properties ->Document(tab)-> For the check box "Enable Default content" we should have the mentioned "iisstart.htm" added for the IIS services to publish the website.
thanks
