I'm trying to set up a virtual directory which I thought I did but get the following error when trying it out. Could someone please help put it in plain English? Thank so much.

I'm running Vista Home Premium is that matters.

Server Error

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Description: The page cannot be displayed because an internal server

error has occurred.

Error Code: 0x80070005

Notification: BeginRequest

Module: IIS Web Core

Requested URL: http://169.254.2.2:80/

Physical Path: C:\Users\PRK\Documents\Test

Logon User: Not yet determined

Logon Method: Not yet determined

Handler: Not yet determined

Most likely causes:

• IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the

  processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module

  handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error

  occurred.

• IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or

  application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.

• IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.

• The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.

• The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility

  Feature is not installed.

What you can try:

• Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and

  allow access to the Web server's machine account.

• Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.

• Verify the permissions for the DLL.

• Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed

  handler.

• Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code.

  For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, clickhere.

More Information...This error means that there was a problem

while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but

during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.
