That's a generic server error.. it's telling you it cannot find anything in the current path set in IIS

Check the path you setup in IIS.. if it doesn't actually end at the web site folder you'll never get anything to render in the browser

Check the permissions on the folder in which you have the web site files. 

The account you use for permissions should be the same on the web folder, IIS and SQL

VPS Server.. are you in a shared hosting enviroment?

You have to modify the path in IIS

If you just have http://mysitename/virdirectoryname, then you put a file folder named DNN below it with the DNN files then you must alter the path in IIS to be <Drive:>\mysitename\virdirectoryname\DNN

Else your web server is looking in <Driver:>\mysitename\virdirectoryname which is empty
