(IIS) problems with virtual directory

[Paulo Canavezi]

Good Afternoon!

I am having problems with the display of files in a virtual directory.

At my "server1" I created a logical mapping on IIS appoint to a image
directory on "server2".
At "server1" I can browser the files on "server2", but if I'm using
Internet explorer, I got this error:
#########################################
Unable to display the page
There is a problem on the page you are looking for and it can not be
displayed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try this:
Contact the site administrator to inform you that the error occurred
in the URL.
HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error.
IIS (Internet Information Services)
#########################################
At log I got the message:
"2008-03-19 13:30:04 W3SVC1967716968 172.16.0.236 GET /

I think there is too much guess work for us here. What is a 'logical
mapping'?
I suspect what you mean is you have an file share on server2 and have create
a virtual directory on Server1 that points to it? If so what did you do
with the wizard page that asks you what credentials to use to access the
folder?

A HTTP Error 500 Internal server error is usually accompanied by an entry in
the server event logs indication what wen wrong. Check your system,
security and application logs for error events around: 2008-03-19 13:30:04

You will be helped mightily by obtaining the real error message. You can do
this by going to Tools -> Internet Option, then click the Advanced tab. At
the bottom, you should find that Show Friendly Http Error Messages is
checked. Uncheck it and run the page again. Then google the resulting
error if the cause isn't obvious.
