Answer 1

It looks like your iisnode cannot write its log file, perhaps because it does not have write permissions. If you have access to to the server then you can check inside the app's folder for an iisnode folder, that is where iisnode tries to write its logs by default.

Until you get this log info you are stuck because the 500 error you are seeing only tells you that the error has occurred on the server somewhere. You need the logs to give you the info you need to proceed.

The only other alternative is to run the whole thing locally and use something like node-inspector (I use grunt-node-inspector) to debug into the nodeJS code to see what is happening.
