Problems with using Visual Studio. NET 2003
When you try to create a web project or open a web project in the URL "", the web server reports the following error. "HTTP/1.1 500 internal server error"
Cause: the ASP. NET account has no access permission to the root directory of the website.
Solution: add an ASP. NET account to the security options of the root directory folder. You only need to set the permissions to read and run, list folder directories, and read.
Note: you do not need to add an ASP. NET account to a virtual directory.
An error occurred while trying to run the project: Debugging cannot be started on the Web server. A server error occurred when sending an HTTP request for debugging.
Microsoft's statement:
If the ASP. NET auxiliary process runs under your own account, you must be a member or administrator of the "Debugger users" (debugger user) group.
If the ASP. NET auxiliary process runs under any other user's account, you must be a member of the "Administrators" group.
Cause: the ASP. NET account has no access permission to the virtual directory.
Solution: add an ASP. NET account to the security option of the virtual directory folder. You only need to set the permission to read and run, list folder directories, and read.
Note: To debug a web project in vs. net, you need to add an ASP. NET account to the virtual directory.

The data at the root level is invalid. Row 1, location 1 (data at the root level is invalid .).
Cause: the Internet Guest account does not have access to XML files.
Solution: in IIS, set your web site to allow anonymous access and add an Internet Guest account to the virtual directory.
Website access problems
Error 500 prompted when accessing ASP page
Cause: the Internet process account cannot access ASP. dll
Solution: add the IIS startup process account in the website directory, which is generally named IWAM _ machine name.
Note: ASP. NET websites do not need to be added to users because ASP. NET Website processes use the ASPNET account.
