What

This is a list of the most common issues and solutions that can occur when the Internet Information Service (IIS) fails to load the pages from Planner or Display.

"In Outlook - user is challenged with an Outlook security box - asking for user, password and domain"

• Open Internet Information Service Manager
• Find the application pool for Planner
• Right click and choose advanced settings
• Ensure that "Identity" is set to Network Services
• Recycle application pool

Or....

• On the Planner server - try to login 
• If it shows an error "Login failed for user 'XYZ' because the account is...."
• Then the issue is caused by a password used for the service account, for Planner, is incorrect
• Please update the password for the service account and unlock the account on the AD

"User is not recognized using Windows Authentication"

• Open Internet Information Service Manager
• Find the application pool for Planner
• Right click and choose advanced settings
• Ensure that "Identity" is set to Network Services
• Recycle application pool

"HTTP 502 - Bad gateway"

• Open Internet Information Service Manager
• Find the application pool for Planner
• Right click and choose advanced settings
• Ensure that "Identity" is set to Network Services
• Recycle application pool

"HTTP 500 internal server error" / "HTTP 500.19 internal server error" / "HTTP 500.21"

• Open a command prompt
• Go to the folder for the .NET Frame (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319)
• aspnet_regiis.exe -i

and

• Make sure .NET is enabled as a feature ("add/remove Programs" -> "Turn Windows features on or off")

and

• Make sure ASP.NET is enabled as a role("add/remove Prograns" -> "Turn Windows features on or off")

and

• Ensure that "IIS_IUSRS" has full permissions on the DISPLAY folder

and (if "Handler" is showing MVCScriptMap64)

• Ensure the handlermapping for MvcScriptMap64 is set to use .NET 4.0 framework

"PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler in IIS7..."

• Open a command prompt
• Go to the folder for the .NET Frame (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319)
• aspnet_regiis.exe -i

If that doesn't solve the problem - the IIS installation seems to be corrupt - please follow this article on how to solve:

"Absolute physical path "C:\inetpub\custerr" is not allowed in...."

• Please open the Event Viewer and look for Warning/Errors in the "Application" log.
• Choose an Warning/Error and look for stack trace in the "General tab"

"HTTP 404 when call http://localhost/pronestor"

IIS 7/7.5 (Windows 2008 Server)

• Open Internet Information Service Manager
• Find the application pool 
• Right click and choose advance
• Ensure that "Load user profile" is set to "true"

IIS 6 (Windows 2003 Server)

• Open Internet Information Service Manager
• Make sure ASPNET 4.0 is allows as a Web Service Extension 

"HTTP 404 when calling http://localhost/pronestor/Booking.NET/Home.mvc"

IIS 7/7.5 (Windows 2008 Server)

• Ensure that the Role "HTTP Redirection" is enable

"Can't install Display due to missing ASP.NET Role"

IIS 6 - the role is installed but the Display still argues that ASP.NET isn't

• Check that ASP.NET role enabled (see article here from Microsoft)
• Run the installation from a command prompt using:
  "msiexec /i proNestor.Display.Setup.msi /l*v logfile.txt BYPASS_PREREQUISITES=1"

"PronestorWebAdmin.Models.PnbDataContext...ctor()"

• With notepad open the connectionstrings.config located in Configuration folder
• Ensure that the name of the connection string is equal to:
  <add name="dbConnectionString" connectionstring="......

 "Unable to generate a temporary class (Result=1)"

It is due to a lack of permissions on the temporary folder which is used by the IIS.
The easist way to fix it to do as follows:

• Right click the folder c:\windows\temp
• Choose permission
• Ensure that the "NTAUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" has the following minimum permissions on the folder - ("List folder"/"Read Data"/"Write"/"Delete")
• Open the IIS
• Locate the Planner application pool and recycle the application pool

For a bug report from MS see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322886
In this bug report you should also find the MS way for solving the issue.

"Administration tab shows >>Administration (You do not have access to this area)<<"

• Ensure that "Forms authentication" has been enabled as well on the app pool running Planner

Forms authentication is always required to be enabled on the app pool - not matter if Windows authentication is used or not.
Check also that NTLM is top most used provider in Windows authentication - Providers.

"HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long"

When a user is a member of a large number of active directory groups the Kerberos authentication token for the user increases in size.  If the HTTP header or packet size increases past the limits configured in IIS, IIS may reject the request and send this error as the response.

There are two ways to solve this issue

•   Decrease the number of Active Directory groups that the user is a member of.

or

• Try increasing the MaxRequestBytes and MaxFieldLength values as per note (you will need to restart http service (or reboot the machine) for it to take effect.)
