ARGH! IIS problems.

[Gutter Ball]

Okay, an IIS problem has been handed DOWN (yes down, it was escalated up and now it's being passed down to me ). I'll explain it best as I can cause I can't figure out what upper tech support did and documentation on IIS just doesn't exist. I can get it to run on Windows 2000 Pro no problem...anyway:

We're running IIS on Windows 2000 server for some people that are in an ASP class. There is a drive (drive d) that is on the IIS server and holds all the accounts of the people in the ASP class. There are virtual directories to the parent folder where these accounts are. As far as I can tell, everything is setup right, but when I do a "http://localhost" from the server, we get a 403 forbidden ip address error. I checked the security on the parent folder, and everybody is granted access, there are no denied IP addresses listed anywhere. I tried anonymous login, cleartext authentication and anonymous login + the last option (windows authentication I think). I'm stuck Any ideas or sites where I can go to figure this out?

that sounds like a really easy problem to fix.

what is the default document for the web?

also, IIS does have logging, you just haven't found it yet

I'll post it tomorrow when I get in. I'm an IIS noob for sure. I think the default document is iistart or something like that. I knew someone here would know how to help

ok, logging is in c:\winnt\system32\logfiles

if you are getting a 403 with "forbidden ip address" you need to be looking at the IIS security settings to see if it is allowing/denying from a particular subnet. Get the exact error from the logs and we can go from there.

Hmmm, okay, we have 2 directories.

W3SVC1 and W3SVC3

This is the one from W3SVC1, I'll eliminate the duplicates:

IIS security settings shows grant access to all, anonymous password.

HOLY SMOKES!!! I just went and tested "http://localhost" again and now it's LISTING all the folders of the users!! Does that mean it's working?? Wow...lol, I just have to come to TIMO, complain about the problem, the problem gets scared and starts working!!! Well, I think it's working anyway Hahah!! Anyway, I still need to get it to work from another room. So if you don't mind, please check over the logs and see if something is wrong....then:

The server name is "lab", when a user logs in, a "D" drive (that's where IIS is running) gets mapped to their station. Each user gets their own folder under "FPTraining", which is a virtual directory under IIS. My question: what should the path in explorer be to get their stuff working? THANKS VERY MUCH for the help!!

[Gutter Ball]

Okay, I dunno which one of you gurus hacked into our server and fixed it, but IIS works and it seems to work awesome! The guys in the other room can access their folders and run their ASP programs with no problems. I don't remember what settings I changed, but it works
