Welcome text blazor app keeps receiving error "Error. An error occurred while processing your request." I cannot get past this error page

The Welcome text app's purpose is to generate a web link to the WelcomeText site and send the link to a new customer. On the site, the customer is supposed to be greeted by a welcome message, but the welcome page never displays and instead goes immediately to an error page

Development Mode Swapping to the Development environment displays detailed information about the error that occurred

Error being received

The app is being published from Visual Studio to an IIS web server. The last 2 error logs I received when running it were:

An ISAPI reported an unhealthy condition to its worker process. Therefore, the worker process with process id of '924' serving application pool 'WelcomeText' has requested a recycle.

I tried commenting out this line of code:

if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment()){    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");    app.UseHsts();}

Image of code

and I also tried changing the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT value from "Development" to "Production"

image of launchSettings.json

None of the solutions worked.

My web.config says
