Hi Simpso1j – Amazingly friendly and helpful forum this isn’t it?! and I am more than happy to help if I can. Pretty illogical to start a new thread when I didn’t receive any help on the same topic!!
To be honest I didn’t really got to the bottom of this. What I did find was that it wasn’t an IIS 500 internal server error, it looked to be passed by the wordpress code because of the missing configuration file! I could have 1. Altered the 500 custom page in IIS to the sites index page which effectively re-routed this error back to the index page which was far from ideal or 2. Except the error and update the wp-config.php manually
Sorry I couldn’t be more specific and give you an exact answer, but I hope this has been helpful in some way. Good luck
*rolls eyes* thank you I’d never have thought of that…
