    Make sure you don't have role management enabled in IIS. You might have to have your host check on that.

    Replace your web.config file with the last known good backup, or extract a new copy of the web.config file from the original installation and replace your encrypt key and DBConn line with the current values. If someone tries to edit the web.config file in IIS, is mucks with a lot of stuff and breaks things.
