Installation problem

I have installed the software on our server (Windows 2000, IIS 5) and have followed the installation instructions. I made one adjustment that I found in the technical forum for integrated authentication and made sure to give the IUSR account db_owner privledges.

What is happening however is that when I try to open the application (ie default.asp) I recieve a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

Can you help?

Yes I can but I need more information about this. What' s the description of the error IIS produced?

Also, you can try this thread and see if it answers your question:

Yes, a little more.

Samuel the total of the error is " The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed"

and then the " HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" .

This to me usually means that the applications cannot complete a part of its normal function. Maybe not being able to connect to the database or some other such thing.

I am on Windows 2000, IIS 5.0
The application is set up in a directory on the server but is a virtual directory to the web site. It has been given script permissions on the directory and set to medium pooling.

I am not sure what else I can give you but please feel free to ask for more detail and I will be happy to dig up more.

I am referring to the detailed error message. To view it, do the following:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> uncheck " show friendly HTTP error messages"

Okay, sorry I knew that.

Here it is:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error ' 800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/mmc/forum/masterinclude.asp, line 23

datastore = " " Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=" &dbServer&" ;Initial Catalog=" &dbName&" ;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

This is what I provided:

" Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=" &dbServer&" ;Initial Catalog=" &dbName&" ;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

and this is what you have in your masterinclude.asp:

" " Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=" &dbServer&" ;Initial Catalog=" &dbName&" ;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Actually here is the exact line that I pulled from the masterinclude and pasted here:

datastore = " Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=" &dbServer&" ;Initial Catalog=" &dbName&" ;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

No double quotes.

I am using integrated security as well. Double check the file on your server and make sure the line is entered correctly.

The problem was the server (for whatever reason) was not releasing the page so I deleted it reposted and the had the server recalc the site. That seemed to get the right coded page being used.

Thanks
