IIS Status Code

IIS Add comments

IIS 5.0 and 6.0 error status code.

5xx - Server Error

The server cannot complete the request because it
encounters an error.

500 - Internal server error.

500.12 - Application is busy restarting on the Web server.
500.13 - Web server is too busy.
500.15 - Direct requests for Global.asa are not allowed.
500.16 – UNC authorization credentials incorrect. This error code is specific to IIS 6.0.
500.18 – URL authorization store cannot be opened. This error code is specific to IIS 6.0.

503 - Service unavailable. This error code is specific to IIS 6.0.
504 - Gateway timeout.
505 - HTTP version not supported.

IIS HTTP status codes and their causes

200 - Success. This status code indicates that IIS has successfully processed
the request.
206 - Partial Content.
This indicates that a file has been partially downloaded. It can enable
resuming of interrupted downloads, or split a download into multiple
concurrent streams.
207 - Multi-Status (WebDAV).
This comes before an XML message that can contain several separate
response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.
301 - Moved Permanently. This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI.
302 - Found.
This is frequently represented as “Object Moved” for forms based
authentication. The requested resource resides temporarily under a
different URI. Because the redirection might be altered occasionally,
the client should continue to use the Request-URI for future requests.
This response is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or
Expires header field.
304 - Not Modified. The client requests a document that is already in its cache and
the document has not been modified since it was cached. The client uses the
cached copy of the document, instead of downloading it from the
server.
401.1 and 401.2 - Logon failed.
The logon attempt is unsuccessful because a user name or a password is
not valid, or because there is a problem with the system configuration.

401.3 - Unauthorized due to ACL on resource.
This indicates a problem with NTFS permissions. This error may occur
even if the permissions are correct for the file that you are trying to
access. For example, you see this error if the IUSR account does not
have access to the C:\Winnt\System32\Inetsrv directory. For more
information about how to resolve this problem, click the following
article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

812614 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812614/) Default permissions and user rights for IIS 6.0

403 - Forbidden.
You can receive this generic 403 status code if the Web site has no
default document set, and the site is not set to allow Directory
Browsing. For more information about how to resolve this problem, click
the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

320051 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320051/) How to configure the default document in Internet Information Services

403.1 - Execute access forbidden. The following are two common causes of this error message:

You
do not have enough Execute permissions. For example, you may receive
this error message if you try to access an ASP page in a directory
where permissions are set to None, or you try to execute a CGI script
in a directory with Scripts Only permissions. To modify the Execute
permissions, right-click the directory in Microsoft Management Console
(MMC), click Properties, click the Directory tab, and make sure that the Execute Permissions setting is appropriate for the content that you are trying to
access.
The script mapping for the file type that you are
trying to execute is not set up to recognize the verb that you are using (for
example, GET or POST). To verify this, right-click the directory in Microsoft Management Console,
click Properties, click the Directory tab, click Configuration, and verify that the script mapping for the appropriate file type
is set up to allow the verb that you are using.
403.2 - Read access forbidden. Verify that you have set up IIS to allow Read access to the
directory. Also, if you are using a default document, verify that the document
exists.

404 - Not found.
This error may occur if the file that you are trying to access has been
moved or deleted. It can also occur if you try to access a file that
has a restricted file name extension after you install the URLScan
tool. You will see “Rejected by URLScan” in the w3svc log files after
you install the URLScan tool. In this case, you see “Rejected by
URLScan” in the log file entry for that request. For more information,

address that does not accept requests for the port on which this
request came.

1. The handler mapping for the requested file name extension is not configured.
2. The appropriate MIME type is not configured for the Web site or for the application.
405 – Method not allowed. This
error can occur when a client sends an HTTP request to the server that
is running IIS, and the request contains an HTTP verb that the server
does not recognize. To resolve the issue, make sure that the client’s
request uses an HTTP verb that is compliant with the HTTP rfc. See the
“References” section for information about the HTTP rfc.
500 - Internal server error. You see this error message for many server-side
errors. Your event viewer logs may contain more information about why this
error occurs. Additionally, you can disable friendly HTTP error messages to
receive a detailed description of the error.For more information about how to disable friendly HTTP error
messages, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Feature on the Server Side

500.12 - Application restarting. This indicates that you tried to load an ASP page while IIS was restarting the application. This message should disappear
when you refresh the page. If you refresh the page and the message appears
again, it may be caused by antivirus software that is scanning your Global.asa
file.

does not return a valid set of HTTP headers. To resolve the issue, you
have to debug the CGI application to determine why it passed invalid
HTTP information to IIS.
503 – Service Unavailable.
Beginning in IIS 6, the kernel-mode Http.sys component produces an HTTP
503 status. For more information about how to identify and troubleshoot

Common FTP Status Codes and Their Causes

150 - FTP uses two ports: 21 for sending commands, and 20 for sending
data. A status code of 150 indicates that the server is about to open a new
connection on port 20 to send some data.
226 - The command opens a data connection on port 20 to perform an
action, such as transferring a file. This action successfully completes, and
the data connection is closed.
230 - This status code appears after the client sends the correct
password. It indicates that the user has successfully logged on.
331 - You see this status code after the client sends a user name.
This same status code appears regardless of whether the user name that is
provided is a valid account on the system.
426 - The command opens a data connection to perform an action, but
that action is canceled, and the data connection is closed.
530 - This status code indicates that the user cannot log on because
the user name and password combination is not valid. If you use a user account
to log on, you may have mistyped the user name or password, or you may have
chosen to allow only Anonymous access. If you log on with the Anonymous
account, you may have configured IIS to deny Anonymous access.
550 - The command is not executed because the specified file is not
available. For example, this status code occurs when you try to GET a file that
does not exist, or when you try to PUT a file in a directory for which you do
not have Write access.
