HTTP error 500.19 internal server error

Hi, I am trying to deploy app written using express.js to new root website in iis using iisnode and am getting the following error -
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Detailed Error Information

This error occurs when there is a problem reading the config

My web.config file is as follows -

<configuration> <system.webServer> <handlers> <add name="iisnode" path="app.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" /> </handlers> <iisnode loggingEnabled="false" /> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="express"> <match url="*" /> <action type="Rewrite" url="app.js" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration>

Has anyone else faced this issue before. Thanks in advance.

The web.config does not show up, can you paste again?

Updated the post. Sorry I am not that familiar with markdown.

There is nothing obviously wrong with the configuration. Do the iisnode samples work on your machine?

[yatendra]

helloworld sample works but express sample doesnt. http://localhost/express/readme.htm gives the same error.

Try:

add the / - that did the trick for me.

Thanks for the reply @BarryBotha but I am still getting the same error. I am using Express 3.0 here not sure if that is causing the problem. This app works using node from command prompt but doesnt work using iisnode.

The most likely cause of this issue is that you did not install the IIS URL Rewriting Module. This module is not part of a standard IIS installation. You must install it explicitly from http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

[tjanczuk]

Please reopen if this is not the issue.

Thanks tjanczuk,

url-rewrite was missing, and you saved my lots of time.
