New to CodeIgniter in IIS7 + HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

[eluser]richardpd[/eluser]
Hi
Over the last 2 days I have started to look at codeigniter & want to use it in Windows7 OS.
Here I use both IIS7 localhost & WebMatrix (IIS7Express).

However I am following tutorials & using http://localhost/rpdci/index.php/blog/
returns HTTP 500.0 Internal Server Error in IIS7

I couldn't get it to go in WebMatrix either.

I am most grateful for help so I can get started with CodeIgniter & begin coding websites with it.
I look forward to helpful replies-thanks

I don't think this is a CI error.

Check this out: 1. Removed IIS and WAS. Re-installed with the following settings:

Web Management Tools (default) - IIS Management Console

WWW Services - Application Development Features - ALL

- Common Http Features - ALL

- Health and Diagnostics - ALL

- Performance Tracing - ALL

- Security (default) - Request Filtering

2. Add "Users" to folder security options for each folder being added as a virtual directory in IIS7

Worked!!!!

Got it from http://forums.iis.net/t/1144489.aspx and they have other fixes as well.

Thanks for your reply.
I have all those features enabled in IIS7.5 & still getting same error
(not sure what you mean about folders as virtual directory? folders on inetpub/wwwroot?).
Any other ideas anyone?

I am now trying nettuts ci tutorial http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/co...tch-day-1/

and get this error at http://localhost/ci/index.php/site :

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: 8192

Message: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated

Filename: codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php

Line Number: 60
An Error Was Encountered

The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.


I am not having an easy time learning CI.....

The Nettuts tutorials are a bit out of date. They are using version 1.7, while CI is currently on 2.0.2

What is your /codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php file? (around like 60)

[eluser]toopay[/eluser]
Did you set htaccess properly?

[eluser]richardpd[/eluser]
Thanks for replies!
I still have got it working yet.
For the Nettuts example I changed CodeIgniter.php to latest version and I now get error HTTP 500.0 Internal Server error.

As for htaccess why do I need to edit this? No beginner tutorials seem to mention this?
I will keep trying to get this working & post updates here -meanwhile all helpful advice most welcome.

I have my CI issue solved now and the basic start with CI I was trying works now.
I was helped by the code files for helloworld from http://learn-codeigniter.com/episode/codeigniter_basics

I copied these over to my rpdci directory in localhostserver & changed config.php to use that folder/directory & now http://localhost/rpdci/index.php/blog/
works with blog.php in controllers directory.

blog.php code is:
<?php
class Blog extends CI_Controller {

public function index()
{
echo 'Hello World!';
}
}
?>

giving me the very (not!) impressive 'Hello World!' html page output!

Perhaps I shall never know why the original CI files I had in rpdci directory would not allow this to work & kept returning the HTTP 500.0 error. All mysterious to me-but at least I can move on now with my CodeIgniter learning!
Best wishes to all :-)
