areid 0 Posted September 29, 2003 Ever since I installed XP pro service pack 1, I have had some strange behaviour with my IIS 5.1 setup. In short, it doesn't work any more! http://localhost is producing http 500 error message (ie. Internal Server Error - the page cannot be displayed). According to the service manager, the world-wide web publishing service is running. According to MMC, the default web server is running, with the IP address "* All unassigned *" (is that right?). Pinging localhost works fine. There used to be an icon in the icon tray by which I could tell whether the service was running or not. How can I get this back again? Any help would be appreciated.

ECLG_ENIGMA 0 Posted September 29, 2003 In IE go to 'internet options' then the 'advanced' tab. Now uncheck 'show friendly http error messages'. Now hit the site again and you will recieve a more informative error. A general 500 could be caused by a lot of thisngs, post this new error back and I can help you further.

areid 0 Posted September 30, 2003 ECLG_ENIGMA, thanks for the reply. I eventually had to reinstall IIS and things seem to be working ok for now. Regards, Alan Share this post Link to post
