Http 500 error

[Guest]

Hello,

I am working on my first PHP website and am getting an error.  WHen I try to preview a website that has a repeating region, I get the Http 500 error - internal server error.

PHP seems to be working fine as when I run phpinfo();, it does show all the detailed info.  Also, when I make the connection and recordset in DW everything works as it should.  Its just when I preview the page that it doesn't load the data.  I know it has to be something simple, but I don't know what it is.

I am using IIS 7.5 on a Win7 Pro machine.

Thanks for the help!

Is your browser showing only "friendly" error messages?  If that's the case, disable that so the error message will display detailed error info.  That will help to troubleshoot.

Yeah, I've tried looking at those things.  I am a local administrator to the machine so its not a permissions issue.  It also suggested installing the .net extensiblity features which is what is already installed, so I am stumped.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, we may be but not sure -

You should be getting a more detailed error in the browser than simply the 500 error - is that the case and if so, what is the exact error message?  Sorry if I'm not understanding this correctly.

Yes, there are a lot of details.  Here is the exact page:

Error Summary

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

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

Detailed Error Information

Module	FastCgiModule
Notification	ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler	PHP_via_FastCGI
Error Code	0x00000000

Requested URL	http://localhost:80/TMP33fdoqni7q.php
Physical Path	C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TMP33fdoqni7q.php
Logon Method	Anonymous
Logon User	Anonymous

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.

Things 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.
• Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

Links and 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.

Look at the values for Requested path and Physical URL. They're pointing to temporary files. In Dreamweaver, open Preferences from the Edit menu, and select Preview in Browser from the Category list on the left. Deselect the the option to preview using a temporary file. Click OK.

When working with dynamic files, you should always use the real file, not a temporary one.
