Once we were going to present a web service to governmental firm. All is going well so far and my boss asks me to host the web application the day before the presentation.

I hosted it and all was good with demo production tests, but I had a bad feeling.

While it was running on our server, I also ran it locally with a reverse proxy just in case.

* Meeting starts *

* Ice broken and down to business *

"And now our developer will run the demo for you..."

* Run the demo from my laptop to double check --> 500 Internal Server Error *

Holy shit!!!

* Opens reverse proxy link on my laptop. Present demo during meeting. Demo works like a charm. *

Firm representative: "Great! Looking forward to go live."

*Our team walks out*

GM: "Good job guys"

    Did you figure out the problem with the demo server? Was the host you used just unreliable and crashed?

    I'm now very curious what the 500 error was about

    @localjoost Server Error? Probably some stuff with server configuration, if not with web service itself

    To be exact, it was HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure.

    The reason was I was using Asp.Net Core 2.2 but did install the module AspNetCoreModuleV2.

    The solution was to revert back to Asp.Net Core 2.1 which did not need it.

    Lesson learned: Only using LTS technologies in production.
