Troubleshooting
In case you see HTTP Error 500.19, as can be seen in the image below:
Open command prompt as administratorand perform the following:
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\
aspnet_regiis -i
Reload page, and the problem should be resolved.
Hello,
While running through this on Microsoft Server 2012 we saw the error "HTTP Error 500.19", so I tried to run the command "aspnet_regiis -i" and received the following message.
This message directed me to follow the Microsoft article below. After doing so the portal was accessible.
http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/iis-80-using-aspnet-35-and-aspnet-45
Article says
"Modify your QsTeamServer.exe.config (typically in $\Qualisystems\Testshell\Server or $\Qualisystems\Cloudshell\Server)."
Not in the customer.config file? This a bug?
When using IIs 8 with WIndows server 2012 (or 2012 R2), make sure to install the 'Web Server' role within the server manager. after choosing the web server role, click next and in the 'Role Services' section, under the 'Application Development' make sure to choose 'ASP.NET 4.5'.
This sub-role will allow the IIS to use the ASP.NET 4.5 for running the CloudShell portal.
When using CloudShell 6.4 and above, the WebDAV module and handler need to be disabled in order to allow HTTP PUT and DELETE requests (used in our portal).
In order to do that, add the following in the Portal\Web.Config file (do not remove other elements already in this structure, just add these in the relevant location)
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<modules>
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
