First, verify that IIS is actually up and running. Setings -&gt; Control Panel -&gt; Administrative Tools -&gt; Computer Management -&gt; Services. &nbsp;Verify that the IIS Admin and WWW Publishing services are started.<br />
<br />
If so..., the next thing I would check are the System and Application event logs on your machine. There may be a error message in the event log that might help you solve the problem.<br />

I do object! TheLearnedOne was friendly enough to respond to my question, but however, it did not solve my problem. <br />
If I remember correctly (long time ago) the error occured because IIS was installed after the installation of VS.NET. Some extra tweaking was necessary to make it possible to run ASP.NET.

Hi,

I'm using VS.NET 2003 beta, with the 1.1-framework. Each time I'm trying to create a ASP.NET Webapplication I get the error "the web server reported the following error to create or open the Web project at the following URL: 'http//localhost/Webapplication1'. 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server error'"
I'm a complete newby when it comes to IIS. 
Help would be greatly appreciated.

HTTP/1.1 500 error running C# Webapplication

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
