IIS6 problem

[nfell]

Hi,

I have been testing a site on my local WinXP Pro computer running IIS5.1 with no problems reading and writing to an AccessXP database with asp.

I have just moved it for more testing on a new Windows Server 2003 machine running IIS6, and its seems ok reading from the database, but everytime I try to write to the database I get the error,

The page cannot be displayed

HTTP 500 - Internal server error

I'm sure it has to do with permissions or or setting write access, but I don't have much knowledge of IIS.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of Database are you running?

Find the database file/folder right click properties security tab make sure that everyone has read/write access to the file/folder

Turn off "Friendly HTTP errors" in IE (Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab) then access the page. This will give you the REAL error instead of the friendly "I dont know what to do because I recieved some error" page.

Thanks for your help.

We played around with permissions and managed to get it working now, although we're not really sure what exactly solved it!
