Re: IIS Security w/ASP.NET 2.0

Curiosly, if I change the permissions on the application root folder to
"Scripts and Executables" (which I know I don't want to do in real life), I
get past the "Forbidden Access" error and now get a 404 error, yet the page
I'm trying to bring up does exist in the location that the browser its
trying to get it from (virtual directory wise, that is).

You must make the virtual directiory an application. Have you done that?

I have changed the "My Project" setting in VS 2005 from "Use VS Dev.
Server" to "Use IIS Web Server" and I've clicked the "Create Virtual
Directory" button. When I attempt to run (with debugging), I get a
generic error messagebox (doesn't even get to the browser) that says to
ensure the server is operating correctly and that there are no errors in
my code. When I try to start without debugging, I get a standard error
page in my browser saying:
HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Internet Information Services
When I check the permissions of the VD, it looks ok, execute permissions
are set to "scripts only" and the directory security is set to use the
IUSER account.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Scott
