I had a problem with a windows update and ended up reinstalling Windows.  I was able to maintain my inetpub folder which housed my DNN install.  However after reinstalling Windows and IIS7 using the same DNS name and IP address as before I can't access any of my portals - I get a 500 - Internal Server Error.  All I've done is create a website within IIS using the old DNN rootfolder that I used before again using the same IP as before too.

Can anyone give me some direction on things to check so that I can get this website back up and running?

I have tested with positive results my db connection as well.

Thanks much

Darin

you'll also want to make sure you have all the IIS settings correct.

Windows Authentication Enabled
ASP.NET and ASP enabled
Probably basic authentication enabled as well

Also make sure, you haven't enabled identity switching in IIS authentication for your site.
