Hi friends......
I have created a WebSite in IIS (Windows 2003). But whenever I try to open any ASP page, from that WebSite, in my browser, it shows the HTTP 500 error. What can be the reason. Please help.

I have seen this error when I have a DNS rule set in my local network that had the server name / ip wrong... There for the name never resolves.

In example, my friend made a DNS rule for "mysite.com " and I already had another server hosting "mysite.com " The DNS rule he made was in our local network which didnt allow IIS to find the correct host header value with in IIS.

I would check to make sure you have your DNS configured correctly and or you IIS host value is correct and point to the name you want it too.

Hope this helps

I would recommend reviewing the Windows Event Logs on the server to see if there is any indication as to what's going wrong.

HTTP 500 errors can be anything ranging from an error in your website, an error with IIS, to your network setup (as Chirsjc has pointed out).
