Have you tried fiddler? also are you sure that the hosting of IIS is the same as your DEV PC. Is the application pool correct for the .Net framework version?

Fiddler is a great tool for watching what happens behind the scenes in web traffic. It is actually Fiddler2 now: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/

Agree with you Tim. Saved my bacon several times!

If it's IIS hosted I often find the MIME types or http handlers are missing when moving from dev to test servers.

When a error is 500, that means it's an internal error, meaning internal to the service - the service threw an exception that was not caught.
Look in the Windows event logs on the server to see what went wrong.

Also, try:
- Go to menu Tools/Internet Options in your IE.
- Click on the Advanced tab, uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages" option and click Ok.
- Try accessing your web page again. Now you will see much more meaningful error message which will help you to troubleshoot the problem.

Other few possibilities:
There might be an issue in the way you have hosted your service. May be multiple config files?
Further, since you have not shared the type of webservice or what framework application it is, it can also be a cross domain policy issue after hosting on other server.

See details here: Microsoft Support: Error message when you visit a Web site that is hosted on IIS 7.0: "HTTP Error 500.0 – Internal Server Error"[^]

Agree with Sandeep.
Had the same problem took a look at the Web.config
file which was the one with the problem

It was referencing a database not on my machine.
once i changed accordingly it worked
Thanks Sandeep.
