Web Portal Installation HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I am building a sandbox installation of OID 8.1.2 in a vm with Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019.

I set up the IIS with Windows Authentication and enabled this for the default web site, then installed the Web Portal using the OID installer. When I completed and tried to access the site, I get the error below. I can't see any missing configuration steps in the installation documentation, so I'm hopeful someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

  • I'm not sure if I can continue in this thread, but now I'm getting:


    Server Error in '/IdentityManager' Application.

    Runtime Error
    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed.

    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off".

    I tried to use the WebDesigner.ConfigFileEditor.exe utility to update the config file and add the recommended tag, but I get this error:

    The configuration file is not compatible with this program.

    Solution

    Open a compatible configuration file for an installed web portal.

    I'm not sure how the web.config file installed by the application could be incompatible. I also tried manually adding the tags through Notepad++ but still got the same error message.

  • That is an IIS error by the look of it. You might be better off creating a service request to have support assist you.
