HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Niranjan Roy

When trying to create Web application project from inside my Visual
Studio.Net, I am getting the following error:

---------------------------

Microsoft Development Environment

---------------------------

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/cmsagmrc'. 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'.

---------------------------

OK Help

---------------------------



I read lot of different solutions about resetting IIS, deleting ASPNET user
and recreating it etc. I have tried all that but nothing seems to work.



Strangely enough I am able to create windows applications project.



Would anyone have any solutions to this problem?



I appreciate your inputs/thoughts.



Thanks

Make sure there's no error in the web.config file. Try substituting a known
good web.config.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for replying to my query.

Since every Web application has a Web.Config, I am not sure which one I should remove.

Also when I am trying to create a new web project, it will have a web.config of its own, no?

I think I need further input from you.

I assumed it was just one Web that was causing the server to crash. Is there
anything in the Event log to indicate the source?

Anyway, I've pasted in what I believe is a default/generic web.config file
in case you find that you have one that is corrupted.

<configuration>

<system.web>

<!-- DYNAMIC DEBUG COMPILATION
Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging symbols (.pdb
information)
into the compiled page. Because this creates a larger file that
executes
more slowly, you should set this value to true only when debugging
and to
false at all other times. For more information, refer to the
documentation about
debugging ASP.NET files.
-->
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />

<!-- CUSTOM ERROR MESSAGES
Set customErrors mode="On" or "RemoteOnly" to enable custom error
messages, "Off" to disable.
Add <error> tags for each of the errors you want to handle.

"On" Always display custom (friendly) messages.
"Off" Always display detailed ASP.NET error information.
"RemoteOnly" Display custom (friendly) messages only to users not
running
on the local Web server. This setting is recommended for security
purposes, so
that you do not display application detail information to remote
clients.
-->
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />

<!-- AUTHENTICATION
This section sets the authentication policies of the application.
Possible modes are "Windows",
"Forms", "Passport" and "None"

"None" No authentication is performed.
"Windows" IIS performs authentication (Basic, Digest, or
Integrated Windows) according to
its settings for the application. Anonymous access must be
disabled in IIS.
"Forms" You provide a custom form (Web page) for users to enter
their credentials, and then
you authenticate them in your application. A user credential
token is stored in a cookie.
"Passport" Authentication is performed via a centralized
authentication service provided
by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile services
for member sites.
-->
<authentication mode="Windows" />


<!-- AUTHORIZATION
This section sets the authorization policies of the application.
You can allow or deny access
to application resources by user or role. Wildcards: "*" mean
everyone, "?" means anonymous
(unauthenticated) users.
-->
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all users -->

<!-- <allow users="[comma separated list of users]"
roles="[comma separated list of roles]"/>
<deny users="[comma separated list of users]"
roles="[comma separated list of roles]"/>
-->
</authorization>

<!-- APPLICATION-LEVEL TRACE LOGGING
Application-level tracing enables trace log output for every page
within an application.
Set trace enabled="true" to enable application trace logging. If
pageOutput="true", the
trace information will be displayed at the bottom of each page.
Otherwise, you can view the
application trace log by browsing the "trace.axd" page from your
web application
root.
-->
<trace enabled="false" requestLimit="10" pageOutput="false"
traceMode="SortByTime" localOnly="true" />


<!-- SESSION STATE SETTINGS
By default ASP.NET uses cookies to identify which requests belong
to a particular session.
If cookies are not available, a session can be tracked by adding a
session identifier to the URL.
To disable cookies, set sessionState cookieless="true".
-->
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data
source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"
/>

<!-- GLOBALIZATION
This section sets the globalization settings of the application.
-->
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

</system.web>

</configuration>
