Does this apply? The server is obviously IIS7, and your localhost might be IIS6.

Quoting from the link mentioned:

This error is due to a design change in the IIS7 Integrated pipeline that makes the request context unavailable in Application_Start event. When using the Classic mode (the only mode when running on previous versions of IIS), the request context used to be available, even though the Application_Start event has always been intended as a global and request-agnostic event in the application lifetime. Despite this, because ASP.NET applications were always started by the first request to the app, it used to be possible to get to the request context through the static HttpContext.Current field.

Please use

 HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("PageName");

instead of

Response.Redirect("PageName");

in your code.
