Re: Loading the default page via IIS browse

Select your web site in the treeview on the left in IIS, then on the far right click "Basic Settings", does it say "Passthrough authentication" in tha dialog? It should, if not click the "Connect as" button and choose "Application user"

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Loading the default page via IIS browse

Is the site root folder nested below any folder at any level that has a web.config file in it?

Are you using a .NET 4 integrated app pool?

Is .NET 4.5 installed on the machine?

Re: Loading the default page via IIS browse

I think that might be a problem since that is owned by your windows login user account and is a special folder in windows.

I would try installing in a root level folder on your main drive and set permissions for the user that is the identity on the app pool and see if you get better results.

ie C:\testsites\mojoportal2394 would be a good palce to install the files, set the permissions, then go back to basic settings in IIS and browse to the new location and see how it goes.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Loading the default page via IIS browse

That was it.  I should have thought of that myself but thanks for all your help.  I will not try to install from the desktop or within visual studio (my documents) any longer.  This has been a three day lesson.  Have two beers.
