HTTP 500 Internal Server Error on http://localhost

5 New Member
Hi

I would like some help with regards to setting up IIS on my machine, it seems I'm doing something wrong. I installed IIS on a new Windows XP machine with intentions of copying all my ASP projects from the old machine. after installing IIS and opening http://localhost i get this error: "(HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying." I also get the same error when i move my projects onto the new machine
I have played around with the IIS mmc (changing Directory Security and Home Directory settings) and Folder Permissions settings on the wwwroot folder but I've had no luck.

I would appreciate all help and suggestions. If this has been covered, please accept my apology and please point me to the solution.

Thanks.

What version of IIS? 500 is too non-specific, we need more info. Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for the response, and sorry about the delay.

I'm using IIS Version: 5.1.
I added IWAM_MachineNam e Account onto the Administrator Group, this seems to work but after a few minutes I get this error :

error '8002801c'
Error accessing the OLE registry.

/iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 154.

Thanks

Could be worth running the iis reg tool:
ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool

But it may be that you try running regsvr32 as an admin. HTH.

I have a Asp.net web application and a Asp.net Web service application. The Web application is using HtmlInputFile to get a 50M size of file selected by end user, read the data of this file and pass the data to the web service. I already modified both web.config files and changed maxRequestLength to 60000(kb). When I debug the upload process, it seems the Web application can get the 50M file and read the data without problem, but when the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
