IIS not working any more!
This is a discussion about IIS not working any more! in the Windows Software category; Ever since I installed XP pro service pack 1, I have had some strange behaviour with my IIS 5. 1 setup. In short, it doesn't work any more! is producing http 500 error message (ie. Internal Server Error - the page cannot be displayed).
Ever since I installed XP pro service pack 1, I have had some strange behaviour with my IIS 5.1 setup. In short, it doesn't work any more!
http://localhost is producing http 500 error message (ie. Internal Server Error - the page cannot be displayed).
According to the service manager, the world-wide web publishing service is running. According to MMC, the default web server is running, with the IP address "* All unassigned *" (is that right?). Pinging localhost works fine.
There used to be an icon in the icon tray by which I could tell whether the service was running or not. How can I get this back again?
Any help would be appreciated.

In IE go to 'internet options' then the 'advanced' tab. Now uncheck 'show friendly http error messages'. Now hit the site again and you will recieve a more informative error. A general 500 could be caused by a lot of thisngs, post this new error back and I can help you further.

I eventually had to reinstall IIS and things seem to be working ok for now.
