Suddently my PWS stops working- HTTP 500 Error

drkestrel · Nov 2, 2001

My ASP has been working fine up to today.
I am using PWS (from Windows Options Pack) on Win NT 4 Workstation with SP6a and developing from ASP.

However, today whenevery I tried to display an asp (e.g.

Code:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/testServer.asp[/URL]

), I get HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Even though

Code:

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testServer.asp

is simply

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Server working OK for ASP</TITLE>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Server working OK for ASP</H1></BODY>
</HTML>

What is wrong?

I tried restarting PWS from NT Services and the PWS manager, but no luck! However, the display of HTML pages are OK.

My

Code:

global.asa

is as follows-

Code:

<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=MyInfo PROGID=&quot;MSWC.MyInfo&quot;>
</OBJECT>

drk,

Try accessing the webpage from Netscape. You might get a more descriptive error. Or, in IE 5+ you can go to Tools..Options..Advanced and under the browsing category, deselect Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages. Then try to access the page again. You should get a better description of the error.
