IIS Application Setup
-
Hi All, I'm trying to setup a Web application in IIS 7. At the moment we have a WebSite setup www.URLHere.com. Within this WebSite we want to setup another application, for example "app1" so that it can be accessed using the URL www.URLHere.com/app1. The WebSite is setup and running fine. The problem is when it comes to setting up the sub application, when I browse to the application the error message "500 - Internal server error" is displayed. I believe I carried out the correct steps as I created a basic aspx file and set that up as a test and was able to view it in the browser through, www.URLHere.com/Test. Should I be setting this up as an Application or a Virtual Directory? What could be causing the 500 error to be shown? Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thank you

I've since realized that the www.URLHere.com website uses the .NET Framework 2.0 and the app1 uses 3.5. So instead of setting the application up as Virtual Directory (as your unable to choose the application pool with VDs) I thought I needed to add an Application, this way I can create an Application Pool that uses the .NET Framework 3.5 and use it. Please correct me if this strategy is incorrect. The problem is even though there is a 3.5 folder in the Microsoft folder 3.5 isn't an option when creating an Application Pool, only 2.0 and "No Managed Code". When trying to download 3.5 from the Microsoft website I receive "Setup Error" message, I'm guessing this is because 3.5 is already installed on the server. Am I going down the correct path? Any ideas how I resolve this issue? Thank you

Ok, it's now clear to me that not seeing and using the 3.5 .NET Framework isn't the problem, after reading the following two sources. http://forums.asp.net/t/1184937.aspx/1?+NET+3+5+installed+but+not+showing+up+in+IIS+list[^] http://gbuchoa2.blogspot.com/2009/10/framework-35-is-not-showing-up-on-iis.html[^] So I'm back to the beginning, wondering why am I recieving the "500 - Internal Server Error" error message? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you
