Web.Config Causes 500 Internal Server Errors

Question

This is my contents of the web.config :

 <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" /> <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <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> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> <compilation debug="true"/> </system.web> </configuration> 

I am trying to use pretty permalink wordpress links.

But this web.config file causes a 500 Internal Server Error .

What is the problem?

Answer 1

The problem was with the server, they did not set the Microsoft URL Rewriting Module correctly ...

The module is installed correctly, and then the problem is resolved.
