HTTP Error 500.0, Error Code: 0x80070005, virtual directory/application trouble

Hi all,

Sorry if this has already been answered, I'm going spare now and I've searched this forum and google for, well since before lunch and it's now nearly 4pm. I cannot find an answer to my specific problem, or any errors in logs etc. I have had to resort to asking this question.

I have a fresh IIS7 install, Vista business 32, and php 5.2.something installed. The default web folder displays html and phpinfo() fine, it's working great. However when I add a virtual directory or application I get the following error.

I this directory has the default html and png file as per wwwroot and a phpinfo file so I can test, but it won't even display the directory listing. From my searches I noticed I might have to have a web.config file in there for a virtual dir? There definitely isn't one, but then this error shows for both virtual dirs and applications so who knows.

Server Error

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Description: The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

Error Code: 0x80070005

Notification: BeginRequest

Module: IIS Web Core

Requested URL: http://russ-laptop:80/test

Physical Path: C:\Users\Russ\Desktop\test

Logon User: Not yet determined

Logon Method: Not yet determined

Handler: Not yet determined

Most likely causes:

IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.

IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.

IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.

The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.

The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

What you can try:

Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.

Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.

Verify the permissions for the DLL.

Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed handler.

More Information... This error means that there was a problem while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.

<shame> I hate not being able to solve this myself, the answer has to be in this forum somewhere </shame>
