We are installing SDL Web 8.5 with development purposes. The problem is we get this error when running the installer:

error

The error is: Error occurred while attempting to communicate with Topology Manager Service at 'http://localhost:92/ttm201601'. The server returned the following response code: 500 (InternalServerError).

We get the same message in the log file.

After that, installation software does a rollback.

This is the extract of the log file:

  • Thanks, we already did that and it didn't work. Commented Sep 18, 2019 at 6:13
  • normally, if you get a 500 server error in IIS, there should be a log in the windows event viewer that shows you the actual error that occurred (it should show up as an asp.net warning). This could give you more information on what's going wrong. Commented Sep 18, 2019 at 7:38

This is solved now. It was a bad combination of Windows server roles.

First, we had the Domain Controller Role in our server. (more information in Topology manager not installed: Authorization denied)

In a different installation, server was not a domain controller but we had a problem with IIS.

Finally we found the right setup for our Windows installation and everything went fine.
