IIS 7.0 on Windows 2008 403-Forbidden
| Posted by jonbeard, 10-10-2009, 07:01 PM |
| Hey everyone, setting up IIS 7.0, is all configured and everything, but I am getting a HTTP 403 Forbidden message when I access a specific file. I have the IIS page: http://98.24.5.188/ but when I try to access something like http://98.24.5.188/panel it gives me the HTTP 403 message. Im not running on any panel right now, just straight file system... How can I fix this, and is there any ideas?

| You'll need to pick up a book on Windows Server Administration

| 403 errors generally mean a permissions issue, regardless of the platform.
I expect your permissions on the website files do not allow the IIS user access to them.

| Because its related to fundamental concepts on how ntfs and web permissions work together. By asking the question the way you did reveals at least a need for a refresher on the subject which is beyond the scope of this forum. First thing is to Make sure the anonymous user has at least read permission on the folder
