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...

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 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.
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.
I've just installed Sharepoint Foundatuion on my W2008 64bit server and got it up and running as far as being able to access the Central Admin etc just fine.
I did have to disable 32 bit apps in the application pools for all the SP sites and also, following a tip on here, add a config option for bitness64 as a prerequisite for the services.
However whenever I try to access the "Sharepoint - 80" site itself (or another site collection I created in the admin tool), I am getting an unhelpful 500 error. The log doesn't add anything - I can't find anything to give me a clue as to what it's complaining about.
The server is a hosted VPS and all services like SQL are running locally (and are OK).
Any ideas where I look next?

This turned out to be an incorrect specification of the dependencies for the Sharepoint14Module in applicationHost.config
In order to locate the issue I enabled Failed Request Tracing on the server and examined the logs that get output as a result. The preconditions for the module were incorrectly specified (appPool1,bitness64;appPool2,bitness64 instead of appPool1;appPool2,bitness64). Fixing this the sites sprung in to life :)

I just deployed a website into IIS 7 (about which I am woefully ignorant), and upon trying to build the site, I receive this error. I did a little googleing and I saw an article that said I should put system.web.extensions.dll into the /bin. But, I also saw an article saying not to do that. I tried it anyway, but I just received a different error ('Resource cannot be found').
I am totally clueless as to what else to try
Can you use the "Publish" command in Visual Studio to publish directly to the site? If not, then use that command to publish to a similar site on your machine, then copy it to the customer site.
You should also look into the IIS Web Deployment Tool. It can copy an entire site, including IIS settings and any databases. It will be built into VS2010.
Go to control panel, then programs, turn windows features on or off, scroll down to Microsoft.net framework 3.5.1 expand, make sure both sub options are selected, this might help your issue.
