HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I am running Vista Ultimate. I moved a block of ASP.NET web content from my
previous XP machine to a specific location on my Vista machine, and then in
IIS Manager I reset the path of the "default web site" to that location.
When I go to IE7 and try to navigate to that content via http://localhost ,
I get the error that I have pasted below.

Any recommendations?

Thanks, Bruce

It seems this is an ongoing problem whenever I try to develop against the actual localhost server. If you don't need to set windows authentication or any specific config settings just run a regular file based web project.

...otherwise I'm in the same boat as you, and would like to know how to fix this problem. If I come up with anything I will post back here - and probably on my blog.

Hate to revive a REALLY old thread, but, any fix to this issue(having
this exact problem)? Google isn't helping. I cannot run any asp.net
apps on my vista box without this replicating error. Someones got a fix
I hope...

Nobody knows what you're talking about, since the vast majority here
don't use that board you're using.

Received this same issue after installing IIS 7 on Vista Home Premium. To correct error I changed the following values located in the applicationHost.config file located in Windows\system32\inetsrv.

Change all of the following values located in section <configSections> --> <sectionGroup name="system.webServer">

◦<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"
◦<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> change this value from "Deny" to "Allow")

Hi,
I have the same when trying to configure web synchronize publication.
I begin by giving you an insight into my soft installed:
-sql-server 2005
-windows 7even so IIS7
I created a publication MaPublication.I made a right click on publication->
Release Local> MaPublication then I chose configure synchronization Web.Then,
next-> sql server mobile-> created a new directory select default website -
>next->in Alias: SQLCE-> 2 messages appear successively OK OK-> next->

clients connect anonymously-> next-> OHH now when I click on the Edit tab to
change a user account error message appears:
The program can not open the required dialog box because no location has been found.Close this message and try again
When i write http://localhost/SQLCE/sqlcesa30.dll in my navigator, this error appears:
