500 Internal Server Errors

Any website or application which is hosted in IIS returns the response status as either success or failure. 501 is the HTTP status code which IIS returns to the user and is recorded in IIS log files. The IIS log files are saved at following folder location: inetpublogsLogfiles.Due to HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, the website cannot display the page. HTTP 501 errors also denotes that the configuration is not implemented. HTTP 501 Error is server side error.

Cause of HTTP 501-Internal Server Error:

 1. If IIS cannot access the configured root directory of the source code folder this error could occur.
2. In source code folder, there might be possible that there are multiple config files exist and some of them are conflicting.
3. ISAPI.dll is a file that can process the request and mapping point to this file are missing.
4. If any handler mappings for the requested resource points to .dll file are missing then they cannot process the request and screen would display as HTTP 501 Internal Server Error.
5. If any new feature is implemented and web server doesn t support that feature, the same error would generates.

Resolution: 1. Go to Start-> Run ->type inetmgr.exe click OK.
2. At IIS Manager, expand server name and Web sites, and then click the Web site.
3. In Features view of IIS window, double-click Handler Mappings.
4. Mapping points to the correct ISAPI.dll file for asp files should map to the below folder locationthe%windir%system32inetsrvasp.dll file).
5. Refresh the web page after clearing the browser s cache and deleting the browser s cookies.
