Hosting ASP NET in IIS7 gives Access is denied

Question

I have setup a application in my IIS7 that uses  NET Framework 4 0  runned by NetworkService  but when browsing the site I get this       Access is denied    Description  An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request  You might not have permission to view the requested resources     Error message 401 3  You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied  access denied due to Access Control Lists   Ask the Web server s administrator to give you access to     I have tried to give NetworkService full permission on the folder that holds the website  the one that the web application in IIS is pointing against  but I do still get the access denied   Why

If you re using Anonymous Authentication  IIS 7 will use the  IUSR  account for directory access  unless you ve set it to use the app pool identity   If you haven t granted IUSR sufficient permissions on your site s folders and files  you ll get this error

I had the same problem  I enabled  Anonymous Authentication  but it still did not work   So I also ENABLED  Forms Authentication  Then it worked without any problems

Checking the Application Pool Identity in Anonymous Authentication and enabling Forms Authentication would solve problem for access denied error

In the Authentication settings for APP itself  IN IIS   see if you have anonymous enabled

It was due to WWWRoot directory security issue    Simple solution is  Just copy applicatio folder to some other drive  Instead of  C  Inetpub wwwroot  and then create a virtual directory for this new path  That s it

Tried most of the solutions here  but no luck  What worked for me was adding  Everyone  to the security permissions  Properties -  Security -  Edit -  Add -  Everyone  The given defaults were enough for me to regain access   In the near future  I should probably figure out what credentials are being sent to the server so that I can give proper permissions  But I hope it helps someone

OS   Windows 7  amp  IIS 7  If you still have permission denied after adding IUSR  amp  NETWORK SERVICE  Add also IIS WPG  The addition of this last user solved my problem   For people who can t find those users  when you re trying to add a user in security of the folder  properties of the folder   click on  Advanced  of the window  Select Users or Groups   Change the location to the computer name then click on  Find Now   You ll find those users in the list below

If the IUSR user is already specified in Authentication and you re still getting this issue  it could be that your Directory Listing isn t enabled  Be sure to check that  That was the case for me
