Check in the Web Server's log file for the specific 403 error that you got.
It's probably 403 sub-status 18.

Make sure to restart IIS AFTER you change the user privileges and IIS_WPG
membership. Recycling app pool or restarting website is not enough.

Otherwise, the instructions look good and should work. I just tried it out
with Perl and it worked for me.

I'm trying to set up an Application Pool for use with a Perl CGI application
on IIS 6.0.  I am using a custom user (among other reasons, I need to set up
different environment settings for each application).  I added the user to
the IIS_WPG group, set NTFS permissions on the file system, enables the Perl
CGI IIS exension, and added "adjust memory quotas for a process" and
"replace a process level token" to the user in the local security policy.
If I run as the user in a command shell, it works.
If I request a static page in the application's virtual-directory, it works
If I activate ASP and run an ASP script in the application's virtual
directory, it works
If I change the application pool's user to Network Service or the IWAM_
account, and run a Perl CGI script, it works
But running the same script in the same app-pool as my user, I get a 403
error.
I am at wits end and would greatly appreciate any pointers.
