Issue
Vista Webstation 4/5 is installed but only displays HTTP error 500
Environment
- Vista Webstation
- IIS
Cause
If the local host page cannot be displayed then the problem lies within IIS more so than Vista Webstation.
Resolution
The first thing to do is check if the IIS will display any webpages (http://localhost/ for example). If it will not then follow these steps to correct the matter:
- From Administrative Tools, Open Component Services MMC and delete IIS related packages (IIS In-Process Applications, IIS Out-of-Process Applications, and IIS Utilities) if the Files cannot be deleted, Right click on the object, select properties, select Advanced Tab, uncheck "Disable deletion".
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the %windir%\system32\inetsrv folder and enter the following commands:
rundll32 wamreg.dll,CreateIISPackage
regsvr32 asptxn.dll - Restart IIS via IISRESET entered at a command prompt.
