Resolution

In this case, the asp.net version is: 4.0.30319 and the IIS Version is: IIS V6.0

Open the web.config file for this site, the following config information will be displayed:

<httpHandlers>
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxUploadControl.ASPxUploadP rogressHttpHandler, DevExpress.Web.v13.2, Version=13.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET,POST" path="ASPxUploadProgressHandlerPage.ashx" validate="false" />
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxClasses.ASPxHttpHandlerMo dule, DevExpress.Web.v13.2, Version=13.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET,POST" path="DX.ashx" validate="false" />
<add type="System.Web.HttpHandlers.AssemblyResourceLoad er" verb="GET" path="WebResource.axd" validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>

The bold highlighted line is the one which causing the issue in this case.

Remove this line from httpHandlers and add it to the handlers tag as shown in below.

<handlers>
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxUploadControl.ASPxUploadP rogressHttpHandler, DevExpress.Web.v13.2, Version=13.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET,POST" path="ASPxUploadProgressHandlerPage.ashx" name="ASPxUploadProgressHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" />
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxClasses.ASPxHttpHandlerMo dule, DevExpress.Web.v13.2, Version=13.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" verb="GET,POST" path="DX.ashx" name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule" preCondition="integratedMode" />
<add type="System.Web.HttpHandlers.AssemblyResourceLoad er" verb="GET" path="WebResource.axd" validate="false" />
</handlers>

After removing the line from httpHandlers tag and adding to handlers tag try to access the workspace and you should be able to login.

Also, now you should be able to login to the designer and create processes / modify, etc., without any issues.
