Sharing the folder makes the website throw error 500 in iis 7.5

  • 772

I am setting up a simple site which shall contain some static file and I want to enable directory browsing plus this site should be available to all.

  1. Whenever I enable directory
    browsing it creates a web.config
    file, (I don't want it). now I can browse the site. so far OK.
  2. I share the folder to allow access to a
    group, now this site stops working and
    throws 500 error.

Server is windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5

windows-server-2008 iis-7 web-hosting iis-7.5

  1. It got solved however I am not sure it will work in all scenarios because there is no direct correlation.

    I granted read & execute rights to Server/IIS_IUSERS and it resolved the problem.
