As CG said, the IIS is not configured properly. Check the event logs, you may have some more details there.

This means IIS is not configured properly. You set which file starts first in the IIS settings.

Yes what he said is right. Go for the IIS setting and change the default startup page

Why on earth would changing your local settings, where it works, fix your hosting server, where it doesn't ? Your hosting server IIS settings are wrong.

Honestly, either you did not deploy the site properly or IIS is not set up properly. That's all there is. We can't tell you how to fix it based on a generic error and none of your code. What I've told you is all anyone can work out. We'd need a lot more info, probably more than you can easily give in a forum reply, to give you exact steps. That's why it's called programming, sometimes you can get general advice, but you still need to be smart enough to work it out yourself.

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

For fixing this error can only be resolved by fixes to the Web server software. It is not a client-side problem. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse the logs which should give further information about the error.

they can trace the exact reason for the error. Correcting the error may require recoding program logic for the Web server software, which could take some time.

Hi,

On server priority is defined for start file. please check if all your required files are listed there ?

Secondly you said that html is working fine. So create one simple asp.net application with single button and try on the server(try this with Dot net version 2.0 and 4.0).

Basically this is issue with locating your webpage. if you are using domain name then try with IP address if DNS is not resolved.

Let us know if this is not working.

Thanks
-Amit
