In this article I’m going to add some Facebook support to my website. As usual, I will be using the website I have built up from scratch in my previous posts. Before I can link in to facebook, I need to create a facebook page to link into, so that’s what I’ll explore in this article. I already have a personal facebook page, so I start by signing in to that and going to the create a page site.

Hello fellow hosters! This article builds on the previous article in the series.

I want to add in some Facebook support to my MojoPortal site. In order to do that, it is best to have a published site as some things only work on a published site. In this article, I am going to take the local MojoPortal website I have created in previous posts and useWebMatrix2 to publish it to the internet. I assume you already have your site open in WebMatrix2. I prefer to use WebDeploy as that makes publishing your database a piece of cake. You do need to make sure your remote site is setup for this, so that’s what I’ll do first.

I recently encountered a 500 internal server error that took me a while to get to the bottom of, so I thought I would blog about it. The 500 error is a generic error message that can be displayed for many reasons, this article talks about one specific cause of the error message.

Firstly I will explain the symptoms I saw and how I resolved the issue. Then I will go on to explain how I managed a more helpful error message which may be useful if you encounter a similar, but not the same, issue.

When I first published a new local website, I navigated to the homepage only to be greeted with the error ‘500 Internal Server Error’. When I tried to open control panel, I found that too was crashing, with the above error.
