my code is bellow but i am getting error 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
1 Mar 2015 by OriginalGriff
This isn't a problem we can fix: a 500 error is (as the message says) an error internal to the server providing the resource you have requested, and that it can;t provide any more info on why.Sometimes this is because of a database problem at the server, or a file that has been moved. We can't...

Hi Abhinandan,500 internal server is a generic issue. You may need to contact your hosting provider to copy full error message on the server.

Web code runs on the server. So, the code you have will attempt to launch NotePad on the server. It works when you do it in development because your machine is the server. I think you need to rethink what you are trying to accomplish with web code.

27 Mar 2014 by Bernhard Hiller
Simple: look for another provider.Running the SQL Server in your office and accessing it from the website could be technically feasable, but configuring it is a PITA and causes too many places for hackers to start their intrusive actions. When the SQL Server and the web server run on the same...
