    net helpmsg YourErrorNumber

    I've installed URLScan from Microsoft and now my Fusebox sites aren't accessable. How come?

    The default configuration for URLScan denies these fusebox style requests by refusing requests that have dots in the path.

    To fix this, just edit urlscan.ini to allow these requests by amending it to "AllowDotsInPath=1".

    Why do I get the odd HTTP 500 server error message from IIS 5.0?

    On the properties of your web site in IIS, at the bottom of the Home Directory tab, there's a dropdown box called "Application Protection". By default, it's set to "Medium (Pooled)", and that setting can cause 500 errors. It should always be set to "Low (IIS process)" for ColdFusion sites.
