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.

When browsing in internet explorer 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/
oh 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 Error 500)


The weird thing is that it works in netscape and I can
browse my html and asp scripts in netscape.

Okee...This is how I browse in IE with the friendly HTTP
error turned off:

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://127.0.01/ 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://127.0.01/ or
ftp://localhost/ or ftp://<computer_name>/ I know they
mean the same thing and I am glad something actually
works ^^.

I tried ping 127.0.01 to test, I get:

Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
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:

500 Server Error (Bad URL) in IIS 5 by Dan

Dan
Tue Jul 29 15:46:28 CDT 2003

Hi Winnie,

Can you tell me the IP address you have used to configure
the interface. The 127.0.0.1 is what is know as the
loopback address and is generally used for testing.
After you know the IP lets try again to connect to
http://ip address here/

Let me know what happened,

Dan
