I have a deployed a web application in IIS. Which used to work without any issues. Recently i have shifted that web application to another machine, Here is the problem. Once i setup the Webapplication when i opened the default document in IIS im getting the File not found error as following
Internal Server Error
\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config
I have no clue why the IIS is not able to find the web.config. The file is present in the path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config but the IIS is looking in the path \?\C:....
Please let me know how to resolve this??
Firstly this is documented on support.microsoft.com so I would suggest that anyone who has this issue read this first as it covers a number of solutions which I won't
Now from personal experience I encountered this error after setting up a new development machine. What I had forgotten to do was install the Url Rewrite 2.0 IIS module. Sadly the IIS error gives absolutely no idea that this is the actually issue.
Therefore to solve this issue investigate the system.webServer setting in our web.config and ensure that you have installed all the iis modules that you use. I did this by systematically removing elements from my web.config until I came across the cause.
In my case, I was running ASP .NET Core website so I had to install .Net Core Runtime from
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/current/runtime
I know it's old post but I resolved the same issue as follows:
If you are using TFS and you are getting this problem then Reason is ".vs" file is not excluded from commit.
Because of that ".vs\config\applicationhost.config" gets the local version of another user/Developer.
To Solve the error, First open that file Update Physical path inside "" xml tag.
Also ask user to exclude this folder from TFS to prevent future issues.
If you are getting mysql localhost error. What I will do will work for you.
Control Panel(View by: Large Icons) >> Programs and Features >>

Using the instructions in this link and the "How to Deploy Klondike"
github instructions I have installed the Klondike release on my local IIS (Version 10.0.15063.0). At first it looked promising, but then I realized that the main page is showing "loading..." rather than the Klondike URL. See image:
Additionally the when I click the API page tab, the site navigates to http://localhost:8081/api which returns a 404.0 HTTP error. This error may not seem very surprising as the site's directory does not contain an api directory. However, I have reverse engineering a working server with Klondike configured on it and it also does not have the api directory. Here is an image of the 404.0 error:
Additionally, when I try to nuget pushto localhost:8081, it results with the error in the image here (note, the red blocked out text is the apikey).
Finally, I have left the handleLocalRequestsAsAdmin is set to true, but even though I am on localhost, it does not show me the "LocalAdministrator" link. I believe that all these symptoms are linked to the same issue.
I have tried the following with no affect on the behavior:
Putting this site in c:\inetpub\wwwroot and also in C:\Klondike;
Using different port numbers, such as 8081 and 80;
Putting a 127.0.0.1 alias in my hosts file and binding the value in IIS to the host name; and
Installed the Debugging tools for Windows install as was suggested on the github site and set the debuggingToolsPath to its path.
(at this point, I'm just guessing at the issue)
The settings I have changed in settings.config file are as follows:
packagesPath = C:\Klondike\App_Data\Packages
Left lucenePath = empty string (I also tried this with a value of C:\Klondike\App_Data\Lucene with no affect.
symbolsPath = C:\Klondike\App_Data\Symbols
debuggingToolsPath = C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64
ignorePackageFiles = "true"
I have not changed any values in the web.config file from the default web.config release values.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
I ran into the same problem, although I was installing Klondike on a remote server rather than locally, but still IIS 10. The problem might be you don't have all the IIS components installed or enabled. More specifically, .NET or one of its required components might not be installed or enabled. If you look at the error on the /api link - it has to do with the MapRequestHandler and Static file handler in IIS - this indicates IIS doesn't know how to handle the request, which is an indicator you might be missing the ExtensionlessUrlHandler in IIS, as well as other components. To solve the problem, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Turn Windows features on or off (varies per system, might be under "Programs and Features"), then find the IIS Application Development Features. These might be listed under Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services, or Web Server (IIS) -> Web Server, depending on your system. Once you find these Application Development Features, make sure you have an ASP.NET option checked - you might just want to check all the options. Below is screenshot of what it looks like on my system. You might want to reboot after adding those features - not sure if a reboot is required, but it doesn't hurt. After you enable those features, you might start to run into all kinds of file permission errors when running the Klondike app - you might want to just remove Klondike and reinstall it from the zip file. I have a feeling it Klondike doesn't run cleanly the first time it has problems, as it needs to create an App_Data folder with sub directories.
I have been searching for this error all over the internet but no matter what I try to fix this problem nothing actually works. And the detailed message that I got after I copied a url from fiddler and put it in the browser and is as follows.
Module IIS Web Core
Notification BeginRequest
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code 0x80070003
Config Error Cannot read configuration file
Config File \?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myservices\web.config
Actually what has happened in the past that I had this service called "myservices" working all fine when I used visual studio to create a virtual directory for it in IIS. But then what I did, I tried to do a web deploy of this service in IIS and removed ("myservices" from Default Web Site tree which I had created by creating a virtual directory from within VS 2013). And what I observed is, that after I web deployed "myservices" it didn't work the same way as it was working previously when (I created a virtual directory for "myservices" in IIS through VS2013 but had it removed to see whether the web deployed version of it would behave the same way). Therefore when I analyzed the cause of HTTP error 500.19 through Fiddler (for the web deployed service) it said (Config Error Cannot read configuration file and
Config File \?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myservices\web.config) but when I physically try to look into the folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot I could never find myservices folder as such (what to talk of web.config file in it). Then I manually created a folder called "myservices" in C:\intepub\wwwroot directory and put my web.config file there to see if the web deployed service would still work, but it didn't. Then I removed this folder called "myservices" and obviously the web.config file inside of it and also removed the web deployed service from Default Web Site Tree.
And now after all this mess even if I go to visual studio and try to create a virtual directory for my service "myservices" (I can see it in Default Web Site Tree in IIS ) but it would throw the same error as http 500.19 as the web deployed version of this service. In other words whatever I tried it messed up my services even when it's not a web deployed version which previously was not the case. I literally request everybody out there to please guide/suggest me with whatever experience they have as to what went wrong in all this trial and error endeavor of mine.
Thanks
This may be a long shot, but sometimes web.config files get corrupted (our code repository occasionally does this) and you cannot see it with the naked eye. take a simple web.config file that you know is not corrupt and start rebuilding the file from there if it works. We have also used a hex editor (like XVI32) where we can see the corruption, but its much easier to rebuild from a fresh file.
If your problem is not the web.config but the virtual folders, then do the same methodology. Start over with what works and go from there. It could be the web deploy tool that is causing the corruption.
When nothing worked, all I did, was uninstalled IIS rebooted my machine re-installed it again and the HTTP 500.19 is gone.It seems like my IIS was corrupted.
I have set two websites in my IIS 8.5. I have one for production version and one for development (need this for the team work purposes). The structure is simple. Website is simple static page using BackboneJS and API calls to get all the data. All virtual paths and applications were set at the beginning manually by my self. For some reason some API calls didn't worked in dev site. I found out the physical path to the API project has changed. Do you have any idea, where can be the problem? Actually some of my collegues face this issue too.
Only think that cames to my mind is that when bdebugging the API, I use "Attach to process" in Visual Studio, where I connect to the correct IIS process - w3wp.exe with user name IIS APPPOOL\Dev or IIS APPPOOL\Prod according to the site I'm debugging.
Nevertheless I don't think the path should change itself. Where can be the problem? Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this strange behaviour?
I'm trying to deploy a winform application with IIS and ClickOnce. I can access the publish.htm page and the install even starts when I click on the provided link.
However I get this error during the installation process:
Downloading http://MyWebSiteUrl/.../Interop.SHDocVw.dll did not succceed.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
Can anybody help me out on this ?
Thanks,
Bruno
I found out that I needed to check "use .deploy file extension" (under properties>Publish>Options>Deployment
[Answering this old question because it comes up as the best match in my case and the accepted answer was of no use to me].
Background, in an IIS hosted ClickOnce scenario, the downloadable components are itemized in a manifest file at the root of the deployment (that's how you can specify a single download link and deploy all the supporting components).
I was converting a tested application from a WiX installation to a lightweight version with ClickOnce and received the HTTP 500 error without anything else in the logs. Naturally, I failed to think it through and instead found myself getting dragged down the rabbit hole on the internets, with instructions for detailed logging, magic spells, etc.
Upon more sober reflection, the problem was simple and I should have been able to tell immediately from the IIS log: a 500 followed by a 0 is shorthand for 'you're an idiot, the content isn't where you said it was' and it had almost nothing to do with ClickOnce.
I had copy/paste/edited an existing download link template in MVC that was in use for simple apps and it happened to cater to only two levels of subfolders in the manifest. When I ported a more complex project structure, I ended up leaving items in a Resources sub-sub-subfolder that looked fine in the manifest but the path was being truncated in MVC so that the related item could not be found.
Moral of the story - if you get a 500 error always check first to make sure your non-functioning appliance is plugged into a working outlet...
I have a website hosted in IIS at location
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/sample
and there is a folder in sample
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/sample/work
I can neither read nor write a file in this work folder. I am using C# to read and write. I have set the NTFS permissions to full access, yet the problem.
Please Help
Thanks
It probably is related to a problem with ACLs, when you run it inside Visual Studio WebDev Server it runs using your identity, and if using Visual Studio in an elevated way (Vista+) then you actually might be running as administrator. When you run it in IIS it runs as a service identity, usually Network Service for IIS 6 and 7, or AppPool Identity for IIS 7 SP2 and IIS 7.5.
One thing that I would recommend is to add some tracing information to the code that is trying to write the file, for example do a try/catch where the exception is sent to trace so that you can enable tracing and determine if an exception is happening or not.
Also make sure that you are using the right physical path since you could also be having issues with relative paths, since IIS will probably resolve them to system32 if you are not using Server.MapPath or something similar.
