Playing with IIS - Going wrong

Post by Spyder »

Ok, I'm doing something wrong here.

Using WinXP on a work machine, I'm having a play with IIS, getting "not authorized to view this resource" when going to http://localhost/

I've put in an index.html (and I added index.html to the list of default documents) and I made sure the anon user has read access to the webroot directory. What have I missed?

Enabling anon access via the IIS snapin? This is distinct from file permisions.

Anon' access is ticked, allow IIS to control password is ticked.

Nothing else is ticked there.

EDIT:

Figured it out.

For some reason, the password IIS was setting wasn't the same one it gave the user account it created. Manually setting it seems to have corrected the problem.
