I created a Virtual directory and put 2 files in it, an html file and an asp file that it links to.


and



I open the first file in my browser and click the link and I get the unauthorized message. In the Interent services manager I have it set for anonymous access and I even tried changing the user name and password. This is my first time ever trying to confiigure IIS so please help. I have only done some JSP on Tomcat.

First question, did you configure IIS to listen on port 8090?

Yes I did that because I maight install Tomcat on the same somputer on 8080. Bad Idea?

Did you move the file to that folder or copied it? If you moved that file from another directory it would require credentials because moving doesnt set the required rights. Try moving it back and copy the file there.

No, I was just eliminating possibilities

Never doing this before, I'm going by the MCSE Exam 70-087 Implementing & Supporting MS IIS4 book in which I followed these instructions:
(skip the blue and read the red first, the red is what I did just now. The blue was weeks ago and is probably more confusing.)




IIS Instructions (see starting on pg 47 MCSE Implementing and Supporting MS IIS4)
----------------

Control Panel-Admin Tools - Internet Service Manager
Right click Default Web Site and choose Properties
choose WebSite tab
SetLimited to 1000 Users, tcp port to something other than 80,
IP Address from dropdown

choose Directory Security tab
set password
Choose Documents tab

close properties
click IISAdmin. Notice on right is Global.asa

jump to page 65
Create a directory (a folder) (created Learning ASP IIS Directory on J: drive)
Click win 2k on left, right click Default Web Site on right, choose new-virtual directory
...follow wizard


I think I'm confused btween home directory and virtual directory, so I have a virtual

directory created, called LearningASP and it's the same directory as the home directory.


-----------------------------------
Let's try this again...
In Deafult Web Site Properties Dialog:
Right-Clicking Default web Site and choosing properties, settings are
IP:192.168.1.104
TCP Port: 8090
Anonymous Access enabled
Home Directory D:\IIS Default Web Page, checked are Script source

access,Read,Write,...Execute permissions:Scripts Only
Default Document enabled: LearningASPDefaultPage.html
in home directory are all of my pages, some html, some asp

I type http://192.168.1.104:8090/LearningASPDefaultPage.asp into my browser and I get "You

are not authorized to view this page."

I think I'm running in circles and just starting fresh with the book from where i started

before might help.

I know this is a mess. Where did I get lost?






I'm using Windows 2000 Professional.

Hi,
Check that everyone has read and execute permissions on the file directory, then check that the VH in IIS manager has correct access. (in IIS, right-click VH > Properties > Directory Security > Authentication and Access control > Edit)

Check IUSR account is enabled for anonymous access.
