Error 500 - Internal server error with my server

Question

I am running ASP.NET project in my IIS webserver and I am getting this error. Everything worked fine in my localhost server but after uploading my code to server I am getting this kind of error.

My Web.Config file consists of

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<!--    <system.diagnostics>
        <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="0">
            <listeners>

            </listeners>
        </trace>
    </system.diagnostics> -->
    <appSettings>
    <add key="dataFolderPath" value="App_Data\"/>
    <add key="WebMailFolderPath" value=""/>
  </appSettings>
    <system.web>
    <pages enableEventValidation="false" enableViewState="false" enableViewStateMac="false">

what are the details of the error? if I had to guess off hand, it's probably the nested comments surrounding system.diagnostics — Tom, May 16 '12 at 04:59

I direct see this lines that is not in correct format. You include one commend inside other. Ether remove all lines, ether remove the inside commend.

<!--    <system.diagnostics>
        <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="0">
            <listeners>
                <!--<add name="MyListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="C:\temp\webmail.log"/>-->
            </listeners>
        </trace>
    </system.diagnostics> -->

Also look this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5385884/159270

The 500 Internal Server error, is a general public message that is avoid to give details on the error. What you need to do is to open the public errors to see whats really happens, correct it and close them again.

@lock if you add more commend, before the add, you need to end the previous comment, so you have miss the end of the commend at the end of – Aristos May 16 '12 at 05:33

Add following options in the page directive of the aspx page:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" .... EnableEventValidation="false"
ValidateRequest="false" %>

That worked out for me.
