HAP+ and Default Document 500 error

[jonwitts]

Hi there,

 

I ran into an issue today with our HAP+ install due to the HAP Application Pool trying to add Default.aspx as a default document type to the application. As our top level IIS7 had default.aspx already in as a default document type this caused HAP+ to throw a 500 error after anyone logged in. To get things going again I have removed the default.aspx from the top level Default Documents; however I suspect that it was a Windows update which put it back there in the first place.

 

So my question is, is it not possible for the HAP App Pool to check for the existence of default.aspx before it tries to write it in?

 

Thanks,

Jon

If it exists at the top level you don't need to add it at the sub level

I know; I wasn't adding it at the sub-level; a script in the HAP App Pool config was trying to... Hence my question...

Whats the issue here?

The issue is that the HAP+ script was trying to add a default document type to it's application; however the default document type already existed. This causes the HAP+ site to return a 500 error... As my earlier post says...

Looking at the code i cant see where it does this. Id say you have issues else where. It doesnt try to write it on my install.

I will replicate when I get back to work after the weekend and post the exact lines of the HAP+ Application Pool which is trying to insert the document type.

If you are running Server 2012 (IIS 8) + you need to remove the Section
