You are an officer and a gentleman.

If a woman: An officer and a lady.

the default document was not set, even though I can swear I had set it.

Thank you so much.

Thanx for the suggestions.

I had a file called web.config that IIS assumed was an ASP.Net config file, so it was having problems. I renamed it to web_old.config and now WP seems to be loading. It was in my wordpress folder.

BUT, now I cannot seem to view the actual post or the actual blog.

It just gives me a directory listing.

But I can do all administration tasks via the web-panel including edit posts and everything else. But when I click on link it goes to the list of files. Here is the address it is going to:
https://localhost/?p=1

Any ideas?

Thank you.

kcristiano:

You were right. BOTH the IPv4 and IPv6 lines were commented out in my hosts file. I uncommented the IPv4 line and WP did get installed. I checked the database and the tables were created.

But now when I clicked on Login to go here: https://localhost/wp-login.php

it gives me a similar 500.19 server error.

Please help.

Thanx for the response.

My WordPress files are located here:

Desktop/websites/wordpress-2.9.1/wordpress

I have given folder “wordpress” READ/WRITE/MODIFY permissions for:

IIS_IUSRS
Users
Authenticated Users
Network Service

I am still having the same problem with the same error.
