My own website works fine on the localhost but the hosting company tells me I need a web.config file, how do I make this

The Hosting company is GoDaddy? the main page is a login page that checks login details against a database and passes input to the next page. it works like a dream on my local host even querying the dB when its hosted on their server. but once its live all I get is a 500 internal server error and minimal information in error log. is there a template for this file that I can use? what info does it need to contain?

thanks in advance Giles

Sounds like they are using IIS, this page shows some example web.config files for PHP: https://www.stokia.com/support/misc/web-config-default-website-document.aspx
