I am trying to run an asp program in my windows 7 system but it is showing an error that
"HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server."
Can you please tell me step by step about running the program?
Windows 7 is not intended for use as a server so it has some unforgiving security rules. Even with Windows Server out of the box, you need to open up your firewall, as the default is intended to be secure until you are ready to go live.
In IIS check that your site is public.

I have not dealt with classic ASP for over 13 years (and IIS and ASP.NET for a while as well) and today I had to move a classic ASP website to a new server - Windows 2012 with IIS 8.5 from Windows Server 2003 with IIS6. I copied the website directory onto one of the drives (the same drive letter as it was on the old server) and went to IIS Manager and created an application for that directory.
Locally I can access the application via http://localhost/AppAlias/Default.asp and it renders in IE but when I access it remotely via http://ServerName/AppAlias/Default.asp, it does not rende rin IE, instead I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. When I open the same URL in Chrome, it renders just like it does when accessed locally.
I checked IIS settings on the server for ASP applications and under Basic Settings I clicked on Test Settings. Authentication uses Pass-through and it seemed fine but authorization had a warning mark on it. The message was "Cannot verify access to path E:\Pages\Test\AppAlias" and in details I found the following:
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the
specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access.
Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain,
and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$
has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.
I gave Network Service read access but still having an issue. Can anyone help?
I have configured the IIS / our web application in two Windows 2008 Server. One is working fine and the other one is facing User Rights / Security Issue.
Error Message from Server # 2 :
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
When i compared with Server # 1, i am missing the ASP.Net in the Server # 2.
I wonder that might cause the issue.
I was able to find the solution for the IIS Configuration Issue.
Go to Control Panel\Programs and Features
Click : Turn Windows Features On or Off
Under Server Manager : - Click Roles
Add Role Servers, Select Role Services - Check Application Development (ASP.Net) and continue the Installation.
This solved my purpose.
I am getting a "Server Unavailable" error message when I try to access a web application externally, but I can access it fine internally. It's got a message for administrators telling me to check the event log, but there's nothing there. Another thing, this is a work server, so I'm not exactly sure if they're using another firewall, but the Windows Firewall is disabled and the McAfee security installation does not have a firewall. Any thoughts on what could be causing this. If you need to see any code or need more information, let me know.The server is running Windows 2003 server OS.
I would be willing to bet the correct ports are not forwarded.
What kind of web app is it? You have to find out which port that app uses and forward it on the router.
Server Application Unavailable in IIS for ASP.NET application
Problem :Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
Solution 1:
Open the command promt and direct to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
and run the command to install ASP.NET in your IIS
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Solution 2:
To work around this problem, verify that the ASPNET account has the correct user rights as follows:
a) %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version\Temporary ASP.NET Files: Full Control
%windir%\Temp: Full Control
b) Application folder: Read
c) %installroot% hierarchy (for example, %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\Version): Read
d) %windir%\Assembly: Read
e) Web site root (for example, %root%\Inetpub\Wwwroot) or the path that the default Web site points to: Read
f) %windir%\System32: Read(Typically, the ASPNET account has already been granted user rights as a member of the Users group.)
Now Close all the applications and reset IIS in command promt 'iisreset'
problem solved :) cheers
I have migrated our company web apps from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. The are all .Net 2.0 classic web apps. They all seem to work fine, except when accessing any resource with a path starting with /Reports/...
In one app the physical path on disk is c:\Websites\app_name\WebService\Reports... In this reports folder PDF files are dynamically generated and written to disk. They can be accessed via a URL such as this:
http://domain_name/Reports/xxxx.pdf
where /Reports is a virtual directory mapping to the physical path above. This worked fine on 2003 server & IIS6 but on IIS7.5 & 2008 R2 I keep getting the following error:
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Reports/xxxx.pdf
I have another web app that generates the reports dynamically and streams them directly to the client browser for saving to the local disk, rather than being written to disk on the server. Similar to the above example, the page that generates the report is found under path as follows:
/Reports/Viewer.aspx
In this case there is no virtual directory being used. The URL referenced in the browser is:
http://another_domain_name//Reports/Viewer.aspx
Once again I get the same error message as above... HTTP 404 - The resource cannot be found.
I have tried all the permission settings under the sun to try and get it working but to no avail. I've use built in accounts, created new accounts with permissions from very minimal right up to full admin rights. I've also played with the new AppPool Identities with no success. It doesn't seem to matter what permissions I set specifically on the directories, or the accounts configured for the app pool or basic settings on each website itself.
Once thing I have discovered though, is that whilst the browser is getting the HTTP 404 error, there is no record of this request appearing in the IIS log files for each website!! This is really confusing me, as I would definitely expect to see a failed 404 log entry on the requested resource.
Something else to note, I'm running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise on this machine with Reporting services installed and enabled. It's a stretch, but could there be some contention over the /Reports path in my websites vs something else running on the machine? I'm using different bindings/host headers for each individual domain and website running on the server.
Check Reports folder conflict. And remember, Google is faster than SO.
IIS gives 404 errors for more than just File Not Found these days - so it doesn't give away too much to attackers. Have a look at the event log (application), and also try accessing it from the server itself.
The other thing to check is that your IIS app pools are correctly configured - especially with the correct pipeline mode and .NET framework version.
At a command prompt, type:
netsh http show urlacl
See if there are any bindings with /reports/ --maybe a left over from a SQL Server Reporting Services install?

I have a ASP.NET 1.1 application running on IIS 6 / Windows Server 2003.
It's our application, but we're trying to specifically replicate a customer's installation so the app folder has been copied entirely from their production server onto our test machine, and then we've created the Virtual Directory and Web Application for IIS manually.
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager:
Application Pools
Web Sites
Default Web Site
xxxxx (Virtual Directory)
yyyyy (Web Application)
Web Service Extensions
The problem I have is that when we access the app, we get the standard IIS security error message:
The page cannot be displayed
You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please try the following:
•Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access.
HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Now this is pretty standard, except as far as I can see it's not anything so simple.
I have checked:
IIS user has read access to the directory
IIS user and Network Service users have read/write access to the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder
Virtual directory is set to the correct version of ASP.NET
ASP.NET 1.1 Web Service Extension is allowed
Virtual directory has the correct mappings of file extensions and all verbs to the aspnet 1.1 DLL
Virtual directory properties allow Scripts and Executables to be run
Anonymous access is turned on and the username and password is correct
What am I missing?
When you did create an application on IIS did you check allow script execution ? You need to turn two first choices on in order to execute anything from this application including virtual directory you have made.
Right click on parent application > Home Directory tab > Executive Permissions set to Scripts only...
You might also need to check the "Edit Feature Permissions..." button on the right pane of the Handler Mappings settings for the specific application and enable "Execute". This is what held my co-workers and I for 3 hours with otherwise pretty identical symptoms.
