  HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact I am using Windows XP 2004 Media Center software. As I understand, it is also based upon Windows XP Proffesional. IIS was working just fine on my computer until I uninstalled a web site that was using it. Now I cannot get my computer to see localhost. All it say's is This page is not available when I seek localhost in the address bar of I.E.  I completely uninstalled it from Windows Add/Remove in Control Panel Rebooted computer and reinstalled it.  I believe the default files are checked off.  They are common files, IIS.Snapin, SMTP service and WWW.service. I ran IIS6 log but as a complete novice I cannot interrupt it at all.  I am fairly new at computing and unfortunetly a lot of the technical dialog is way over my head. I looked in C:\inetpub and I do see www.root folder.  I would very much appreciate any help I can get to be able to see IIS when I type localhost in my address bar of I.E.  I need to install a Web server but cannot use it unless IIS is working properly.  If you have any suggestions, please consider I am a novice and detailed instructions would be a great consideration for me to get this issue resolve Any futher suggestions would really be appreciated Thank you in advance for your assistance and consideration Hank Laskin

  Re: HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact yes it would be IIS 5.1 on MC 2004... What happens when you open up IIS Manager ... also see if the IIS dependent services are running... for that go to start->Run -> Services.msc now check if WWW Service, IIS admin service are in their start state ... Also give the exact error message that you get when trying any of these...

  Re: HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact I do not kn ow where IISManager is located so that I can open it. IIS in services.msc is set on Automatic as well as www I installed a program called Web-Link that I need to use in order to control via this software certain objects in my home while I am away from the house. Each time I select the icon to run the program, that is when I get the error message "The Web site cannot display this page".  This is the same error message I am receiving when I try localhost in the address bar of I.E. I did uninstall the IIS in Windows Add/Remove in Control Panel.  Rebooted the computer and then reinstalled it again. I do see links to Web -Link in Adminstrative Tools under Internet Information Services.  When I left click it and go to Browse I get the following error message:   MMC has detected an error in a snap-in.  It is recommended that you shut down and restart MMC.  I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE OR HOW TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.  Prehaps you do and can advise me. I will send you an image Via your e-mail of Internet Information SErvices in Adminstration Tools so you can see for yourself the Web-Link folder and the message next to it when I select the Browse option

  Re: HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact If you do not understand, help yourself first, use www.google.com type in iis manager http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/b0c14479-83e3-435d-a935-819fe396e7d2.mspx?mfr=true It takes a seconds. However you issue is probably with the application you installed go to them for help. Remove teh applciation completely from you machine and start again. Most overused word in IT is 'should' as in 'That should work!?!'

  Re: HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact I attempted to attach you a snap of the page but I guess because of the default settings of this  format I am unable to do so.

  Re: HTTP:500 Internal Server Error Reply Contact Seems like your program was not uninstalled properly. Pls uninstall it properly and then try localhost... If you uninstalled it before you should not be seeing any WEB_LINK name in the IIS manager...   Regards, MA Khan http://www.iisworkstation.com “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
