Getting the following error on IIS 7 when attempting to access the default.htm during the setup of a basic test site.
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
Added read and list permissions for IUSR and IIS_IUSRS. Running under the default application pool. Any help much appreciated.
Make sure that your Default Documents are in order. You can check them from either the Home Folder tab of the Web Site Properties section of your host control panel, or the Default Document feature under the IIS category in the IIS Manager remote application.
I just had this problem five minutes ago and I realized I forgot to put them in the right order, and had omitted index.php completely.
If that doesn't work, try configuring your site to allow Directory Viewing.

I have an asp.net mvc 3 app installed on IIS6 and I am getting ACL errors (401.3 errors) when trying to access it. It is running as a virtual app under the default web. I have gone through what I believe are the correct security setting on the respective folders.
I have given the Network Service and in IUSER_ users access to the root folder of the default web. I have also given access to the microsoft.net, temp and system32 folders under c:\windows.
I still get the 401.3 error. When I set the app to use both anonymous and windows authentication I get prompted for credentials. Entering the credentials allows me to access the app. This means that there is some file/folder that needs permissions.
So I used FileMon to see what was going on. I hit the site and get the ACL error but I see no ACCESS DENIED errors in FileMon nor so I see any reference to the site itself. It is like I never made a request. (Yes I cleared my cache).
I am tapped out on what to do next. Any suggestions on where to look to determine what resources needs permissions?
Thanks in advance!
In order for MVC to work on IIS6, you need to do some configuration changes in IIS. Specifically, you should tell IIS to handle all request, in order to ensure that the .NET routing engine kicks in.

When add new web application in IIS 7.5 and run it, this page shown to me, how to solve this problem win7 ultimate visual studio 2010
The message is clear.
Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
How to solve it.
Every asp.net application is run under one pool assigned to it, and each pool is run under a specific account.
Open the IIS, locate the pool under which your app is try to run, see the user that is assigned to that pool, and give read permissions to that user on your full site directory tree.
Especial for the web.config
The web.config, its the configuration file that message says, must have (and) write permissions.
So you locate web.config on the root of your site, right click on it, go to permissions and give on the pool-user, the write capability. The pool user, is the user under the witch the pool is run, as I explain below.
More details
To been able to run a public asp.net site with IIS, each file on the directory must have permissions for two accounts.
One account that is permitted for public access, and the account that assigned to that application pool have.
To find/assing the first account you go to your iis site | Authentication | Edit, and see or change it as you see on that screen shot.
Now note that name and we going to find the user under with the pool run.
Go the your IIS Site and click on the Basic Settings to find the pool name, then go to the IIS | Application Pools and see the Identity column, and note the name of the user under the witch your site is run.
Now that we have the two users names we go to the root of the site and set the minimum of permissions that is the read as
Some Notes
If the IIS_Public_ACCESS_USER is not give read permission the site is run, but ask for password
On some directories you need and write permissions, if you let for example your users upload images, or keep on App_Data, some database files. Only for that directories you give and the write permissions to the IIS_POOL_USER.
Some directories, like the App_Data and App_Code have direct protection from asp.net and they not allow anyone from the client side to run or view whats is in there.
On the public directory that allow write access to your user add one web.config and totally disable all the running of asp.net files.

It looks like your IIS_User doesn't have the necesarry permissions to access your website in C:\Users....\Visual Studio 2012\Websites...
Also make sure your application is running the correct .NET version (2.0, 4.0, ...)
A group of us wrote a .NET web application for our University class and in order to let our prof test with it I am setting it up on my webserver at home. Here is what I have done so far:
I created a new account on my domain, I then granted that account Read, write access to the folder where the app is stored. I have setup an application pool that uses this new account as its identity and created a new site that uses the new application pool.
I initially was receiving the Service unavailable error message, so I realized I had to add my account to the IIS_WPG account. So now I am stuck at the "page cannot be found". The website is pointing to the correct folder (I can see the aspx page list from within the IIS browser) but when browsing the site either in IIS, on a browser on the server or on a browser within my network I keep getting Page cannot be found. The home directory is pointing to default.aspx which is what our app uses.
The app of course works just fine when running from within the IDE, but now that I am trying to get it to work it doesn't want to.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
you should give error details first.
for now, I suggest you check the 'network service' account's permission.this is the ASP.NET's account.
then publish your site to *.aspx file and *.dll file. to see if there is any errors.
So I found the issue. What I didn't know is that by default, IIS 6 does not turn on support of active server pages and .NET pages in Web Service Extensions. Once I had turned this on the site began to work just fine.
I have been trying to configure a small website on a Windows Server 2008 running IIS 7. Unfortunately, when trying to load the website I keep getting the error: Server Error 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
The permissions on the website folder include read, write, and execute for user ASP.NET v4.0. I even clicked "Check names" before adding the user to folder, to make sure that I spelled everything correctly. But the error continues to show. Also, I noticed that everything works okay if I add "Users" to the permissions for the folders containing the website, but I don't see why this should be necessary. I only want to give ASP.NET v4.0 access to the folder.
Some other noteworthy points include that I'm using the ASP.NET v4.0 application pool, that the managed pipeline is integrated, and that load user profile is set to true.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciated the help. I'm stumped!
EDIT: Does it matter that the website is on the d: drive? I just assumed this wasn't important...
I find I always need to give IIS_IUSRS access.
I'd recommend you to use the Process Monitor to detect which user is actually accessing the file.
Here you'll find an explanation about how to achieve that.
Open IIS7 on the server. Highlight the site, and double-click on the Authentication icon in the Security Section. Check that Anonymous Authentication is enabled.

I've just installed IIS on my machine and tried to create a simple default page site.
On the creation of the project the VS said that it could not configure the server and I sould do it manually.
I opened IIS and "created" the site and gave it a name
I also changed the security tab to allow anonymous access, and the asp.net version to 2.0
when i try to browse to the site i get 403
A 403 means "Forbidden", see here, but this can have different causes...
Maybe ASP.NET is not enabled on your server?

Is the folder in your My Documents? Try moving it outside there, the stuff in your user profile isn't necessarily accessible to IIS.
