(
Yes, another IIS 500 error message thread, sorry - I've looked at about 50 of these and none of them seemed to resolve my issue)
Environment:- Windows 2003 SP2
- IIS 6
- Default Web Site (listening on port 81)
- Web Service Extensions configured to allow:
- Active Server Pages
- ASP.NET v1.1.4322
- Server Side Includes
I created the following three files in C:\inetpub\wwwroot:
- test.htm
PHP Code:
<html>
<head><title>Test HTML Page</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test HTML Page</h1>
<b>Does <i>this</i> work?</b>
</body>
</html>
- test.asp (identical to above, just changed extension)
- test2.asp
PHP Code:
<html>
<head><title>Test HTML Page</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test HTML Page</h1>
<b>Does <i>this</i> work?</b>
<% response.write("Actual ASP Test") %>
</body>
</html>
- test2.htm (identical to above, just changed extension)
I then go through the IIS Manager into the Default Web Site and right click on each of the files (in turn) and select
Browse. The results (as one might expect for this thread):
- test.htm - works just fine
- test.asp (html file with extension changed): HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error
- test2.asp (html file with ASP code imbedded) - HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error
- test.htm - no error, but [obviously] the ASP code doesn't render, just the HTML code renders.
I already have "Friendly HTML Errors" disabled.
I've ensured that the
Home Directory > Applicaiton Configuration > Debugging section has "Send detailed ASP error messages to client" selected, and I've played around with the "Debugging flags" - doing iisreset's in between each change.
Nothing seems to help - nothing more detailed gets presented.
I've looked in the Event Viewer and the only errors I'm seeing are from "crypt32" and those don't appear to be associated with my attempts at viewing the ASP pages.
Is there some other log file that I should be looking at?
I've run the
iisdiag (1.0) tools - and I notice that under Authentication Results it indicates a
403 error on W3SVC/1/ROOT/aspnet_client - AuthType: Anonymous.
I have no idea if this is related to my issues, nor what (if anything) I should do about it if it is.
I've tried to make sure that the
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client directory has the [seemingly] correct access rights (Everyone has READ) the local server group, of which my Anonymous user is a member, has READ/EXECUTE permissions on the folder - and these rights are inherited down through the tree structure. (I think this is a red-herring)
Any help is much appreciated.
