Hello,

I’m getting a 500 server error when trying to run dotnetnuke that’s attached to an Azure DB. Here is my log file:

I’ve made sure the permissions are set correctly, I’ve installed the IIS Rewrite 2 module, and nonetheless I get the 500 server error.

Running index.html with Hello World in it works perfectly. The default IIS files load perfectly as well. This only happens when I put the DNN content in the wwwroot folder inside the container. Please help if anyone knows how to resolve this issue.

Best,
Ben
