Quick Question About IIS 7 Asp.Net Setup <p>I have been trying to configure a small website on a Windows Server 2008 running IIS 7. Unfortunately, when trying to load the website I keep getting the error: <em>Server Error 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</em></p> <p>The permissions on the website folder include <code>read</code>, <code>write</code>, and <code>execute</code> for user <code>ASP.NET v4.0</code>. I even clicked "Check names" before adding the user to folder, to make sure that I spelled everything correctly. But the error continues to show. Also, I noticed that everything works okay if I add "Users" to the permissions for the folders containing the website, but I don't see why this should be necessary. I only want to give <code>ASP.NET v4.0</code> access to the folder.</p> <p>Some other noteworthy points include that I'm using the <code>ASP.NET v4.0</code> application pool, that the managed pipeline is integrated, and that load user profile is set to true.</p> <p>If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciated the help. I'm stumped!</p> <p>EDIT: Does it matter that the website is on the d: drive? I just assumed this wasn't important...</p>
