Classic ASP on IIS7: refusing to send errors to browser on 500 Internal Server Error
I have done the following (as suggested in other posts) and still get the 500 error:
Set Send Errors To Brower = true in ASP properties in IIS
Unchecked show friendly errors in browser
Set Error Pages properties to show Detailed Error in IIS
ASP handler does seem to be mapped correctly.
The application pool has been set to Classic mode.
Any other ideas?

Finally sorted this out with the help of my sys admin!
The classic asp application was in a sub-folder. To get it working, the classic asp application's app pool had to be given access to the main folder and not just the sub-folder as it was using assets from the main folder.
Thanks heaps to all those who tried to help. Much appreciated.

From the IIS blog...
Script errors no longer shown in browser by default
As a result of our security paranoia, we turned off ASP's default behavior of sending script errors (including line number and code snippet to the browser.
...
To revert back to IIS6- behavior, simply run the following command:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:asp -scriptErrorSentToBrowser:true
Hopefully that will at least get you to the line that's throwing the error...

I suspect your running your AppPool under "Integrated" pipeline mode, change this to "Classic" and you should be right.

Why does Lucee's debug template error on a fresh installation?

I was a Railo user who just started setting up a new server. As part of this migration I thought I would update to the newest version of Lucee as well.
The Lucee install went much smoother than I remember my last Railo install going and all sites worked immediately after setup. However, when I set my IP address to show debugging information to I get the following error at the end of all pages on my sites:
Message template [[**My Webroot**]\Nightscape\WEB-INF\lucee\context\Component.cfc] must contain a component or an interface.
Stacktrace The Error Occurred in
C:\lucee\tomcat\lucee-server\context\context\admin\debug\Debug.cfc: line 1
1: <cfcomponent>
2:
3: <cfset fields=array()>
called from C:\lucee\tomcat\lucee-server\context\context\admin\debug\Modern.cfc: line 1
This occurs whether I set the debug template to classic or modern. I haven't done anything on this server yet other than install Lucee, tweak some of the settings in the server admin, and setup my sites in IIS. I did try to navigate to [My Webroot]\Nightscape\WEB-INF\lucee\context\Component.cfc and found that it is just a blank file; is it supposed to have content?
I found that some other sites were working once they were setup. Upon comparison, the other sites had the following content in \WEB-INF\lucee\context\Component.cfc
<cfcomponent displayname="Component" hint="This is the Base Component"></cfcomponent>
A similar problem happened with other sites leading to a variety of errors, but they all traced back to zero length files created by Lucee that I just had to copy from other sites.

ASP Classic setup issues

I am a complete novice to Classic ASP and have been trying to set it up, but I keep running into an error message. I am using IIS7 on Windows 7 and have made sure that IIS is installed, etc. I have created an application that resides in C:\inetpub\wwwroot and in that directory I have a file called page.asp. However, whenever I go to my browser which is Chrome and type in localhost it shows me the blue IIS page but when I type in localhost/page.asp it gives me the following error message:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator
I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have made sure that ASP and IIS are both enabled, and the code in the page is a simple
<html>
<%Response.Write("Hello world")%>
</html>
Can you please help me?
You are probably missing the Handler Mappings either for your website or the server (can be configured at multiple levels. Personally I set it at the server level and let it inherit down and enable or disable as appropriate.
This answer has all the information you need to set it up - Answer - How to enable ASP classic in IIS7.5
Should also point out that although the article is talking about IIS 7.5 the procedure is exactly the same in IIS 7.
Handler Mappings are found under the IIS section in the Internet Information Manager.
Add a script map using the following setting (taken from the linked answer):
Request Path: *.asp
Executable: C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll
Name: whatever you want. I named my Classic ASP
The executable above is 64 BIT ASP handler for your asp script. If you want your ASP script to be handled in 32 bit environment, you need to use executable from this location: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv\asp.dll.
Your pages need to have a .aspx extension and you should revise your page's markup to look something like:
<html>
<body>
<p><%Response.Write("Hello World")%></p>
</body>
</html>

IIS not able to locate the web.config

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 >>
(Usually upper left corner) Turn Windows Features on or off >>
Internet Information Services >> Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services
After Restart.

deploying a winform application using clickonce and iis fails

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...

IIS 7 - Event ID 5 Error

I am moving my php sites from a Linux machine over to a windows machine with IIS7
I keep getting this error on three of my domains:
"Unable to create file mapping
Access is denied."
I have no idea how it origins... Can someone please come with some suggestions as to what would cause this error?
I dont even know what file mapping means in this situation
Event ID 5 is related to ASP Availability.
You could check that ASP was allowed on your installation of IIS
In the IIS Manager, under ISAPI and CGI Restrictions, Is ASP.net allowed?
Hope this helps
