    I am trying to host a friends website on my shared windows hosting with IIS7. It is an asp website with a SQL database.

    I have loaded the files exactly as I recieved them from the previous hosting company. But the site doesn't work. I get an error "
    500 - Internal server error.

    There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

    I have read that you need to disable 'Show Friendly HTTP error messages' in IE which I have done and does not work....I get the same error with Firefox. I really need some help here. Thanks in advance. The site is on a temporary domain....here is the link.

    well - lets start off with the script names - what is the default document types? If its default.asp or index.asp - make sure IIS has default.asp and index.asp setup as default documents. Next - are there any extra components needed? As in - does it need any assemblies or registered com objs?
