Anything in the app_data logs?

Sounds like a permissions problem. Try adding network service to your project files

Hi

Forgot to show. This is from the log:

HostingEnvironment initiated shutdown

Based on that stack trace, I'd make sure you do not have an app_offline.htm file at the root of your site: https://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/App5F00Offline.htm-and-working-around-the-2200IE-Friendly-Errors2200-feature

Also, if you open the network tab in Chrome, you can view the response page from the 500 error. That can give you specific details about what caused the 500 error.

If you get the generic 500 error page, you can enable viewing the error details by changing your web.config so that customErrors="Off": https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h0hfz6fc(v=vs.71).aspx

Hi

Tanks for your reply and time to answer.

I´m lost on this one. Any pointers in any direction to solve it would be great.

Here is the info from the network tab

Hi

Here is info from the log file

Hi again

I have been trying to compare the error logs from the 2 different ways to run the app.

1. where i start up http://localhost:55941/ (Not working)

2. where i start up domainname.local (Working)

The difference besides the date time

http://localhost:55941/

1. 2016-05-10 09:29:39,931 [P16860/D3/T63] INFO Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase - Application shutdown. Details: BinDirChangeOrDirectoryRename

domainname.local

1. 2016-05-10 09:29:49,959 [P16860/D4/T68] INFO Umbraco.Core.Sync.ApplicationUrlHelper - ApplicationUrl: http://domainname.local:80/umbraco (UmbracoModule request)

I have seen something like this before when I didn't have something installed that was required by the web.config. For example, I always install Application Request Routing (ARR), as that includes some bits necessary for redirects to work (otherwise, you may get a 500 error).

Maybe also try clearing your cookies (and other browser files). I have seen funky issues with upgrades that have dropped cookies that made Umbraco act weird.

Would also be worth creating an event in the Global.asax to see if requests are even being processed before they throw an error.

Try also putting a static HTML file in the root of the site to see if that gets returned when you view it from Visual Studio. Might offer up additional clues.

One final thing to try would be to ensure you don't have too many redirects in your web.config. If the web.config is too large, you'll get an error.

Hi

If anyone comes by, i did not find the solution.

I did a new install and moved the content for the web app, to get it up running again.
