IIS 7.5 SBS2011 "500 - Internal server error.
I have just upgraded to SBS2011 by doing a complete re-install rather than a migration.
All was going well with accessing my web sites over the internet - then today I started receiving the messages through IE9 whenever I tried to access one of my web sites via IE9:-
"500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, it cannot be displayed."
These messages come wheter I try to access a web site from (a) a computer attached to a LAN (b) a remote microcomputer over the network or (c) browsing the site throush the IIS7.5 manager on the server.
I have turned off the brief message check box on IE9 - same result.
I have checked my DNS registrar - all seems well.
I have checked my DNS name servers - all seems well.
I can't find anything in the server logs.
I have restarted everything - no change.
You are welcome to try accessing www.jindabyne.net

I already tried this. I stopped Explorer and then restarted IE9 - Exactly same result.
Did you try accessing www.jindabyne.net on your computer?
I have also tried adding IUSR and giving it full control over all web files - no difference.

Sorry, I didn't attempt the link at the time of my first post. I did now.
Are you using Access database or SQL Server?
If I Access, try giving the folder that contains the database a Read/Write access.
I am guessing that you are hosting your application yourself.
Also, this may be a silly comment but please make sure that the default page is set up for the site.

I am not accessing any databases. Straight HTML no cgi etc
Everything used to work until a day ago (for about the last 6 years) but now I suddenly get the 500 message.
Yes I am hosting it myself on my SBS2011 server with IIS7.5

Hey Peter,
Are you sure the server is not down?
Also, restart IIS just to be sure

I am 1 metre away from the server and it is working. I have restarted the server and also powered it down. As I said, if I run Explorer from the server itself or alternatively browse a site from within IIS manager I get the same 500 error.

If I access one of my web sites from over the interner it works fine but if I access it from a client computer or server I get the 500 error. Must be something to do with the DNS on the server. Does anyone know what it could be?

one more thing.
do you know the ip address of the server?
If yes, can you try something like:
http://ipaddress/default.aspx or index.aspx or home.aspx whatever your default page is which I am hoping it is one of those.
what happens?
