I set up the new NuGet Gallery on a web server (under IIS 7.0) where I work. The site itself is set up and runs fine. We are able to register accounts, confirm email addresses, and even upload a new package through the site itself.
Our automated build scripts need to be able to push newly built NuGet packages to the gallery. When I use NuGet’s push command:
nuget.exe push build\nuget\BaconAndEggs.1.0.0.1.nupkg 1451002a-8c63-4174-b7ed-73dd3e7bcdf0 -Source http://somenearbyserver/
I get the following result:
Pushing BaconAndEggs 1.0.0.1 to 'http://somenearbyserver/'...
Failed to process request. 'Internal Server Error'.
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error..
The website is able to upload a new package just fine, but command line isn’t. If I try the push command with fiddler running, it observes two consecutive requests while executing the push command. One appears to be touching the site to make sure it’s there, while the second is the actual push command.
Request 1: GET http://somenearbyserver/ 200 OK
Request 2: PUT http://somenearbyserver/api/v2/package/ 500 Internal Server Error
The content of the PUT request is correct, it contains the API key and the payload. Looking on the web server, there are no errors in the event viewer and elmah doesn’t catch anything.
Fiddler shows this as the response to the PUT:

I’m using NuGet Version: 1.6.21205.9031 from the command line.
What could the problem be?
EDIT: After enabling detailed error pages on the api folder in the site, I get this with the 500 response described above:
Server Error in Application "NUGET" Internet Information Services 7.0 Error Summary HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. Detailed Error Information Module = LiveStreamingHandler Notification = MapRequestHandler Handler = WebDAV Error Code = 0x80070585 Requested URL = http://somenearbyserver:80/api/v2/package/ Physical Path = M:\path\to\nuget-gallery\api\v2\package\ Logon Method = Anonymous Logon User = Anonymous
There’s also some help text included, suggestions based on verifying permissions and such, but as far as I can tell there’s nothing wrong with the permissions.
I fixed this issue by changing the permissions for the IIS user. I added write permissions to
IIS_IUSRS.Right click the site in
IIS > edit permissions > securityFrom there you add the user or group and give them write permissions.
