I just installed IIS and placed my website into the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder. Now I can't access it? I did not create a User name or Password so I don't know why I am being promted for one. When I try to access http://localhost/mywebsite , i get HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed. I cant even go to http://localhost/ with out getting the user and pass prompt? Anyone know how I can get ride of this. What a pain. How am I not authorized to view this?

Go to IIS (Run->inetmgr) Expand the Web Sites node, Right Click Default Web Site, select New-> Virtual Directory. Give alias and the path to your application and you are done. OR Right click the website root folder, select Properties. Select Web Sharing tab, Select 'Share this Folder'. You are ready Both the methods I have told you will enable you to run your website. I am assuming your are a beginner. And these are the simplest ways that will work for you. Web hosting in itself is a very big topic. :rolleyes:

Try this To resolve your Logon failure issue , try the following steps : 1. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services 2. Next, select Local comupter "Web Site" -> "Default Web Site" 3. Then click on the directory containing your site or if you are in the rool, click the folder with the "right Default Web Site". 4. Then under the "directory security" tab click the "Edit" under "anonymous access and authentication control". 5. Uncheck "Integrated Windows authentication" and then check "anonymous access " on top. Be sure to check "Allow the ISS .... control" Now you go and try new website. It should work. or have a look at this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861[^] http://forums.iis.net/t/1155585.aspx[^] http://forums.techarena.in/networking-security/1267593.htm[^]
