HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I'm trying to set up a UNC share as a new IIS Virtual Directory in either
IIS6.0 or IIS7.0. This UNC is not within my domain but rather is in a
workgroup outside of my domain but is available for connection. In other
words, I can map a drive to the UNC but I can browse to it through http.

The virtual directory is created just fine but when I attempt to browse it I
get the following error from IIS7:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related
configuration data for the page is invalid.
Error Code: 0x8007052e
Notification: BeginRequest
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/MediaPresATA
Physical Path: \\mediapresdm01\mediapres_ata
Logon User: Not yet determined
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Handler: Not yet determined
Config Error: Cannot read configuration file
Config File: \\?\UNC\mediapresdm01\mediapres_ata\web.config

Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this?

I found an MS KB article: #934515 but the options listed there didn't seem
to be of any help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, stullhe104

Hi Stullhe,

Will the problem still occur if you place the vdir on a local directory? If
this works, I think the problem you met is just addressed by the article
934515.

Also in your scenario, due to the UNC server isn't in the domain, we cannot
use the default pass-through feature or specify a domain 'Connect As'
account to access the UNC. The only way to work is use a local account in
the 'Connect As' dialog as the credential to access remote files on the
UNC. The most important point is the account must exist on both IIS7 and
the UNC servers with the exact same username and password. This is a common
work around to pass NTLM credentials to workstations which hasn't been
joined in domain.

I hope the information helps. Please update here how things are going.

Have a great day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

RE: HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

Hey WenJun, we are getting close.

Setup of the VD worked well once I created a common user account as you
suggested. Thanks so much for clairfying that issue.

Now when I click on Directory Browsing and then try to Enable it, I get the
error "Cannot write Configuration File" and it refers to Web.Config

Does this mean that it is trying to create the web.config file for me or do
I need to put one on at the root of the UNC path? Is there anything else that
I need to do?

When I look at Security on IIS for the new VD it says shows that Everyone
has Full Control.

What am I missing?

Thanks again for your help...

If I do have to put one there, what do I need to include in it?

I made sure that the userid I created on the workgroup where the UNC resides
has Full Control on the ACLs.

Update...

The problem is resolved. I figured out the contents required for the
web.config file and put it in the root of the UNC.

I'm on a roll...

Thanks again for your help.
