List of HTTP status codes : 4xx Client errors[^]

IIS does not return a 403 error when a site is stopped or off-line.

And if you actually stop the site in IIS manager, nothing in the web.config is going to make any difference to what IIS returns.

Congratulations - you've demonstrated that you can copy part of the question, and post it as a "solution".

Not just once, but twice.

And even edit one of the copies for no reason.

You've just made it on to the "abusive / troll" list. Keep it up, and you'll soon be kicked off the site!
