Installation SNAFU

[Mordachai]

I'm migrating VAULT 9.1 standard from an older Win Server 2012 (not R2) to a new Win Server 2016 machine.

I was following the advice / procedures given here:
viewtopic.php?t=924

All went well until I installed Vault on the new server, as Admin, and it appeared to install successfully (installer was happy), but it tried to launch the web browser, and I got:

Code: Select all

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I looked at the Web.config file referred to in that error report - but it doesn't contain "override" at all.

Help!

On the new Windows Server 2016, can you double check the Web Server Roles to see if 'ASP.NET 4.5' (or higher) and its various dependent options are checked and installed?

That's a screen shot of server roles.

I see ASP .NET 3.5 or 4.6.

Are there others that need to be enabled - and if you know - where should I have found a discussion of which roles must be installed with which options for Vault (so I can record that link my documentation for future maint / migration)?

I'm going to try 4.6 for now, see where that goes...

Will I need to redo the install of Vault server, do you know?

[Mordachai]

NVM - your post did it. (Thank You!)

Just enabling 4.6 - asked for whether to include other bits - I said yes - and all is well so far!

Sorry about the incorrect name. I was going off of a Windows Server 2012, but the concept is the same -> Application Development / ASP.NET must be installed for Vault Server to operate. I modified my post above to reflect this.

Glad you're up and running. Thank you for using SourceGear Vault!
