Dreamweaver - 500 Internal Server Error

I am sort of new to the web development world and I have stepped over into developing dynamic content amongst website applications. I have found that all the pages work fine on my site built with Dreamweaver (ASP), but the pages that consist dynamic content do not load (I get the 505 Internal Server Error).

When I attempt to define my site as a new site within the Internet Information Services Manager and I test the connection; Authentication reads "Pass thru Authentication" and Authorization read "Cannot Verify Access to Path" with the following description:

The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.

How do I "make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path"? I built the site with Dreamweaver CS3, running OS Vista Service Pack 1, and have IIS 6.0 installed on this machine. Though I am sure there is something I am doing wrong, but is there also something I am missing? Can anyone help me understand what is and what is not happening when I try to load dynamic pages.

Any assistance and direction would be greatly appreciated at this point!

Thanks,

Matthew Trueblood

Yes, but you should also do the other things in the blog.

Thanks for the reply!

Just so I understand what I have read on the blog you have suggested, I need to:

"turn off loadUserProfile, or ACL the temp directory to allow writes."

Please let me know if I have read the blog correctly, and that I am heading in the right direction! Thanks!

Vista uses IIS 7.

See if this helps:
