    Most likely you need to grant security access rights - see article

    RB WebTier and IIS User Accounts
    ----------------------------------------

    Question: I am trying to configure and test the RB WebTier using IIS.
    When I try to test the web tier via my web browser an Internal Server
    500 Error page is displayed.

    This is generic error page returned by IIS.

    One cause of this error is that the WebTier application does not have
    sufficient user access rights.


    Solution:

    1. Unload the WebTier application.

    Use IIS to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub virtual
    directory. Press the UnLoad button to unload the ISAPI dll.

    2. Delete rbWebPub subdirectories

    Use Windows Explorer to delete all subdirectories inside the rbWebPub
    directory. If you are using different WebTier CacheDirectory or WebTier
    LogSettings, then delete those directories also.


    3. Configure IIS User Accounts

    There are two user accounts created by IIS: IUSR_MachineName and
    IWAM_MachineName. (MachineName is replaced by the name of your
    computer).

    a. Use Windows Explorer to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub
    directory.

    b. Check whether the IUSR_MachineName and IWAM_MachineName accounts
    appear in the list of users. If not then add them.

    c. The IUSR_MachineName account is the Internet Guest Account. This
    account requires Read, Execute, and Write access to rbWebPub.

    d. The IWAM_MachineName account is a user account that IIS uses to run
    web applications such as the web tier. This account requires full
    control of the rbWebPub directory. The web tier must be able to read,
    write, and create new files and sub directories for the CacheDirectory
    and the Log. Therefore if you configure the WebTier to use directories
    that are not subdirectories of rbWebPub, you will need to configure
    those directories as well.
