| | Re: what is the web.config file? that sounds to me like you haven't enabled asp support for IIS (asp pages do not use web.config files, that s for .net) "geotso" <kata-ye-xi@yahoo.gr> wrote in message news:9E229B43-E043-433E-9F0A-E9D10D447A7A@microsoft.com... > when I try to test *any* asp page of my local site e.g. > http://localhost/mysite/index.asp I get the following message: > > HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error > Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related > configuration data for the page is invalid. > Error Code: 0x80070005 > Notification: BeginRequest > Module: IIS Web Core > Requested URL: http://localhost:80/mysite/index.asp > Physical Path: C:\Users\katayexi\Documents\mysite\index.asp > Logon User: Not yet determined > Logon Method: Not yet determined > Handler: Not yet determined > Config Error: Cannot read configuration file > Config File: \\?\C:\Users\katayexi\Documents\mysite\web.config > > Where can I find that web.config file? > Or, is there a tutorial on how to create my own? > > -- > <gt> > Please, remove hyphens to contact me |

It seems that it was self-created when I configured IIS 7 to recognize the file name index.asp as a default document. > If not, try adding one. Here is an article on it. > > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815179 > The article is for asp .NET applications. I don't know if it is identical for me, as my site only uses asp/VBScript pages. Furthermore, I'm just a poor windows user without any knowledge of asp/asp.NET/xml and such things... That means that I can no longer test my pages? IIS 6 default settings! Where did they go?!!! I think that Microsoft, in its attempt for a secure OS, forgot the "user friendly" meaning! |
