widgets and the 500 - Internal server error with IIS

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

I have a v1.1.4 application that works fine locally with IIS7 and php 5.3.2 but when I deploy it under php 5.2.6 and IIS7 I get the 500 - Internal server error for the pages that use widgets.

I’m testing now this:


$this->widget('CMaskedTextField',array(

    'name'=>'dd', 'mask'=>'99/99/9999'

));

I’m using Parallels Plesk Control Panel 8.6 to configure the deployed application and I don’t know how to get more information on the error.

Never used IIS but i guess even Microsoft will deliver their webserver with some logging capability ;) . So check out the webserver’s error log file. It should give you an idea where to search for the problem.

I digged by changing code in the framework and I found that most widgets are using AssetManager to publish scrips from web/js/source to the application ‘web accessible directory’.

So all I had to do was to give the IIS user full rights to the (basePath)/assets directory and subdirs.
