500 Server Error (Bad URL) in IIS 5

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I am a beginner to IIS, I just installed it. Therefore
the problem started after the installation, using the
default settings. It is not a upgraded box.

In IE I always get the 500 error (described
below). Also, I need to test server in Dreamweaver with
the url of my site: http://localhost/MySite/ and I get
the http 500 error (again). The exact message displayed
is:

Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to display
live data. Please double-check your site configuration.
(HTTP ErrorL 500)


The weird thing is that the url I typed to browse my html
and asp files works in netscape.

Okee...I will try to be more clear:

when I typed in the address field:
1) http://<computer name>/ I get 502 BAD GATEWAY. The
following error occured: A DNS lookup error occurred.
Host was not found.

2) http://127.0.0.1/ I get 500 Server Error. The
following error occured: Bad URL

3) http://localhost/ I get 500 Server Error. The
following error occured: Bad URL

4) http://localhost/MySite I get 500 Server Error. The
following error occured: Bad URL

The ftp works fine (I used ftp://127.0.0.1/ or
ftp://localhost/ or ftp://<computer_name>/ I know they
mean the same thing and I am glad something actually
works ^^.

I tried ping 127.0.0.1 to test, I get:

Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is also used for my
connection, but I don't think the connection is the
problem...since I am not connected to the internet, I am
just using my local server as test server so no
connection is necessary rite?

mmmm....the log that I get is:

know how to do about the error at all. THANK YOU SO MUCH

This can happen if Internet Explorer is configured to automatically detect
settings in the LAN settings section of Internet Options. Try opening IE
and then going to Tools, Internet Options, Connections tab, then choose the
"LAN Settings" button at the bottom. If "Automatically detect settings" is
checked in the next section uncheck it, then OK and Apply, then shut down
IE and restart it, then test again.

HTH,

Terry
