As much as I hate to tell you this, but according to Microsofts documentation, this is an "unknown error".

But in MSDN I found something [msdn.microsoft.com] that might help you track down what caused it.

So you are running win2k with IIS and when you open the project with visualstudio.net 2003 you get the 500 error from the localhost. So where does server 2003 enter into this?

i am not using server 2003. i am using only win2k with iis. and .net2003. while opening an asp.net web application i am getting the error. can you help me.

Are you using an ODBC driver in any of the pages in the web application? Are you using a DSN? Have you updated your computer to MDAC 2.7? Have you modified the global.asax?

Definity sounds like something isn't configured correctly. However, first check the obvious. Is your project actually reachable via [localhost...] or is a [localhost...] project.
