Trouble when creating new ASP .NET Web Project in Visual Studio .NET 2003

Hi all, my name is Ivan and I'm sort of newbie in ASP .NET

I installed Visual Studio .NET 2003, and also IIS 5.1 on OS XP Professional SP2.

I created and developed some great windows applications in Studio, but when I tried to do the same while creating new ASP .NET Project and New Web Project I received an error HTTP:1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Help me out, please

Hi did u check whether your IIS is running?

also try to browse ur page from IIS MMC...

also check whether you are getting any entries in your event log when u get this error

Thanks for the reply.

1. My IIS is running, of course.

2. I named my asp web project as "NewASPProj" and it is in C:\InetPub\wwwroot directory on my system.

I tested it with opening my IE and typed URL: http://localhost

It opened two asp pages IIS start and IIShelp.

3. As for the messages in event log I'll post it on a forum in a few days

Hi Ivan,

Based on my understanding, when you wanted to create the asp.net 1.x application with Visual Studio 2003, you got the error message above. If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.

The error message "HTTP:1.1 500 Internal Server Error" indicates that your server encounter an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Please make sure that the IIS works correctly. We can execute the iisreset at the command prompt to reset the IIS's setting. Besides, we should configure your asp.net 1.x application properly on the IIS.

For more information, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/822319.

I hope this helps.
