remove 4 lines related extensionlessurlhandler-isapi-4.0_32bit & extensionlessurlhandler-isapi-4.0_64bit - refer how to: change configuration options web site. shouldn't try configure both classic , integrated modes. default, azure web sites run in integrated mode - should use classic option if have legacy web sites run exclusively on older versions of iis.

also, since using ravendb, take @ these posts azure web sites , embedded ravendb.
