After completed testing of my ASP.Net in test server, I deployed the same application to client’s server. However, I was hit with following error:

HTTP 500 - Internal Error Server

On further testing, I can’t even connect to localhost (that’s weird!). It gives the same error as above. My client’s system has the following:

1. Windows XP SP2
2. IIS 5.1
3. Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 (v 1.1.4322)

I tried the following but still couldn’t work:

1. Reinstall IIS
2. Reinstall Microsoft .Net Framework
3. Run aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Solution:

1. First of all I need to ensure that IE will not suppress any error messages. In order to do that, open Internet Explorer go to Tools-> Internet Options ->  Advanced Tab. Check option Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages.
2. Install IIS
3. Install Microsoft .Net Framework
4. Make sure Distributed Transaction Coordinator service is installed and running!
• open up your services panel or enter "services.msc"
• look for Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC)
• If it is not there, that means it is not installed.
• To install DTC, open up command prompt,
• go to your %windir/system32
• run msdtc.exe -install
• Once installed, you should be able to see DTC in your service panel.
• Start it
5. Run aspnet_regiis.exe -i to complete installation.
6. And voila! My ASP.Net application works!
