Have you ever opened your MOSS site to found out an http 500 error with no apparent reason?
Well this happened to me for 2x already. So, to “archive” the problem I’ll post here the eventual workaround.
In fact, this problem can have multiple sources, so the first thing to be done is to make sure that we are not trying to access any unpublished item in MOSS libraries.
If this does nothing and the problem remains, then another approach is needed: first we need to disable the “show friendly error messages” in IE advanced options. Disabling that option, we can now get the detailed error: “No authority could be contacted for authentication.”? – well, if this is the error message that’s being displayed, it is the product of a conflict in the current development workstation and it’s domain controller. Why is that? See below:
Analysing the Event Viewer, various DCOM related errors were occurring (e.g. “The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706FD“).
To finally solve the problem, we had to remove the machine from the Domain Controller (putting it in a workgroup) and putting it back again. 2 restarts later… everything worked fine!
There might be other possibilities for this error still. I’ll update this post as soon as I get by them (hope not!!)…
Hope this helps someone out there.
Cheers
