Hi,

I am completing a project in asp.net with c# with sql server as database.

I want to upload it into remote server, so I uploaded it in web server and named my Home page as Default.aspx.
However, when I browse the Url (http://www.mycompanyname.co.in) it gives an error.

500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

I can't make out whats wrong in my project. Its works fine in IIS local server.

By the way when a run a html page as default.html it works fine..

Now what should i make to run my .aspx files

Thanking u

Just to make sure, the remote server is an IIS server and not a Linux Apache server, otherwise you have bigger problems.

What happens if you enter "http://www.mycompanyname.co.in/default.aspx", does it display? If it does then the problem is that default.aspx isn't set as a default document in the remote IIS server.

** Update **
Well it looks like it is a problem with server, as you have mentioned that it will return a plain html page but it returns a 500 error for an aspx page your hosting provider will have to fix this issue.

I'm not sure how this server is configured as it gives a 500 error even when it should give a 404 error.

Talk to the hosting provider.

on entering the "http://www.mycompanyname.co.in/default.aspx"
I got the same error message as i have mentioned above.

500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

Is there any correction should be made in web.config file?

It is not a default document problem, even if the page to display is specifically mentioned like "http://www.techniche.co.in/default.aspx" it still displays a 500 error.

Your hosting company will have admin pages or control panel that allow you to define the startup page. Ask them they will make it for you.
