.NET Core publish to IIS – HTTP Error 502.3 – Bad Gateway – The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process

.net coreasp.net-coreiisnet

I'm trying to publish to IIS a .NET Core ASP.NET Website I upgraded from RC2 to RTM.

As a sanity check, I was successfully able to publish the template/sample "ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework)" app from Visual Studio 2015.

But for some reason, when publishing the RTM upgraded app, I'm getting HTTP Error 502.3 – Bad Gateway
The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process.

The site DOES work running IIS Express from Visual Studio.

How can I debug this? Anyone have any ideas?

Error 502.3

If you run a task for a long time, and web browser don't receives response in 2 mins(the default request time), you'll get this error. Because after the timeout, IIS will replaces the application to respond to the client with 'Bad Gateway'.

Maybe you should change the request time in the web.config.

Set requestTimeout attribute in section system.webServer / aspNetCore to specifies the duration for which the ASP.NET Core Module will wait for a response from the process listening on %ASPNETCORE_PORT%.

  • The requestTimeout must be specified in whole minutes only, otherwise it defaults to 2 minutes.

Just like this:

<system.webServer>
  <aspNetCore requestTimeout="00:20:00" ... />
</system.webServer>
