I know..long shot - any programming geeks out there????

[jfulcer]

Ok, any geeks out there (or spouses of geeks) that are into .NET programming that can help me out?

I'm trying run an ASPX on an W2K IIS5.0 server running .NET framework 1.1. This server has never run .NET apps before. The web directories are relocated to a different drive.

Whenever I try to hit the ASPX page, i get

HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

If I hit an HTML page it loads it fine.

Integrated Windows Security is off, Anonymous access is enabled, and Everyone, IUSR_????? and ASP.NET accounts all have read/execute rights on the directory.

I know, big geek. But the normal newsgroups are failing me.

Help!

I don't know what my husband or any of his geek friends know, but I forwarded this on to him.

As for me, programming was not my forte when I tried it in college If I do hear back from Luis on this, I'll let you know

I don't know anything about .NET, but when I was running an ASP server, I remember that you had to go on the server and set the preferences for each directory to allow scripting or none of the ASP pages would run. You'd get that same error. Could something like that be the problem?

i work for a computer training center...let me see if any of the instructors can help!

Not a programmer, but I use www.tek-tips.com for all my technology questions. People at that site know EVERYTHING. Good luck.

i asked the instructors here...and this is the response i got...

perhaps the IIS lockdown tool has been run , which can disable the ability for ASP pages to run. Just a thought.

So I created a quick little Hello World ASP page, and it runs. But if I try to run my Hello World ASPX it doesn't.

Not that there is a large segment of the DIS population that are really interested, but for those of you that are interested - the problem was the IUSR account was denied permissions on the WINNT directory. Unfortunately, that account needs to access the framework there, hence the permission denied.

Ugh.

Now I need to figure out who disabled it.

Thanks for checking for me folks!
