500 – Internal server error Godaddy

the best solution is to switch to the linux hosting plan (you can do it in the godaddy control panel)
then install wordpress
godaddy’s windows servers seem to have problems with php/mysql apps

how can solve this problem on godaddy windows server

Same problem is here

500 – Internal server error

i have already set the permission of directory

Hello,
I am new to the windows web server and have not the knowledge of syntax for web.config file.

We have under Windows IIS7 an WordPress installation under https://vacationpackagestogo.com and for that wordpress generated few lines for a web.config file.
Here is the content of the web.config file:

<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”wordpress” patternSyntax=”Wildcard”>
<match url=”*” />
<conditions>
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” />
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php” />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

1. with this content our /stats directory and Webstats is no more accessible – we are getting an error 500.
In the stats directory is dynamically generated the reports and an index.html file is in this directory which points to the other files in the directory.

2. we need more rules to create some permanent redirect 301 for the following subfiles:

https://vacationpackagestogo.com/article-details.php ———>>>>> https://vacationpackagestogo.com
and
https://vacationpackagestogo.com/content.php ———>>>>> https://vacationpackagestogo.com

This two points we need some help.

hi folks
I have the same problem like christian_gnoth, who knows the solution?

I manage to view the details of the error (Error 500) by making some changes at the web.config file. Check the link below for more information.

Tested it on GoDaddy and it’s working. ??

Thanks!
