New install on win 2008 svr with 500 Error

I installed all files \mojoportal\wwwroot.

I pointed the website to \mojoportal and put a simple index.htm and it executed fine.

I pointed to \mojoportal\wwwroot and got a 500 error.

I got rid of web.config and it said:

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Put web.config back in with customErrors mode="Off" like following:

<customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="Error.htm">
      <error statusCode="413" redirect="~/NeatUpload/Error413.aspx" />
    </customErrors>

And now I get the 500 - Internal server error.

Any thoughts. i have other websites running on this server no problem.

But I am running Framework 3.51 (not 4.0).

i have both web.config and user.config in directory.

Thanks

Re: New install on win 2008 svr with 500 Error

Usually if you can't even get an error detail it means it doesn't like the Web.config file. This is a common problem if the framework versions are not correct like if you installed the mojoPortal .NET 4 package under .NET 3.5. You did not mention what package of mojoPortal you used.

In this case you should be able to find the error in the Windows Event Viewer in the application log.

Also make sure you have SP1 installed for .NET 3.5.

Hope that helps,

Joe
