  3. Enter RavenDB for the Site name then click on the Select button to select the appropriate Application pool (basically ASP.Net v4.5):

    Note

    Depending on your operating system version and IIS configuration, you may not have the same application pools listed in this screen capture. Basically, you need to select the .Net v4.5 application pool.

    You may create a new application pool and set it to .NET 4.5 Integrated Pipeline then assign it to the new website...
