If your application is returning 500 Errors when it starts, there could be a few reasons:

Node.exe is not present at the correct location. Check nodeProcessCommandLine setting.
Main script file is not present at the correct location. Check web.config and make sure the name of the main script file in the handlers section matches the main script file.
Web.config configuration is not correct – check the settings names/values.
Cold Start – Your application is taking too long to start. If your application takes longer than (maxNamedPipeConnectionRetry * namedPipeConnectionRetryDelay) / 1000 seconds, iisnode returns a 500 error. Increase the values of these settings to match your application start time to prevent iisnode from timing out and returning the 500 error.
