Customizing a Web Gallery
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Preview & Create a Custom Preset
When you are finished, you can Preview your Web gallery in a browser by clicking the Preview in Browser button in the toolbar. Your gallery will eventually open in your default web browser. If you are satisfied with the results, make a User Template by selecting Web→New Template from the menu bar. Name your template and place it in the User folder or create a new folder and put it there.
Publish your Work Online
Lightroom will place your finished Web gallery directly onto a server of your choice. In the Upload Settings pane (HTML and Flash are the same) select Edit from the pop-up menu (circled).
In the Configure FTP File Transfer dialog box, fill out the appropriate address, password, etc. Pay particular attention to the fact that Lightroom saves your password in plain text, which can be readable by anyone with access to your computer. Also note that many servers require the passive mode for data transfers, but not all. I had to turn this option off in order to successfully upload a gallery to my site.
Click the Upload button at the bottom of the right panel, and as long as you are online, Lightroom will do the rest. You can also export the files to a location of your choice and place them manually on your site.

I have tried for many months (since Lightroom Beta) to get the output from Lightroom to work on a Vista machine running IIS7.0
I do not run an FTP server on the machine, so I upload the pages manually (I have access to the physical machine).
When I try to view the web gallery using IE7 or Firefox, I get an error as follows:
Server Error
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
Description: The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Error Code: 0x80070005
Notification: BeginRequest
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/vaaldam/
Physical Path: C:\Users\Alain\Desktop\13 04 2008 Dam Skiing\website\VaalDam\
Logon User: Not yet determined
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Handler: Not yet determined
Most likely causes:
* IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
* IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
* IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
* The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
* The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.
What you can try:
* Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.
* Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.
* Verify the permissions for the DLL.
* Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed handler.
* Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
More Information... This error means that there was a problem while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.

Please help me out! I would love to be able to use this function, but it will not work. I am sure that there is someone out there who can help fix the problem.
Thanks in advance.
