I am getting 403 Directory Listing Denied for the root and 404 for an action that I know should exist.
Background:
I have build and deployed an
ASP.
NET MVC 2 applcation a long time ago. Later I upgraded it to MVC 3 and it is still working with not configuration changes. Setting it up on a windows 2003 R2 (Standard) initialy was a pain, but after a couple of days(yes, days) struggling it started working.
Now I have to do the same with the same application on a different server (2003 R2 Standard again) on a different network.
.
Net 4 is installed and allowed
ASP.
NET MVC 3 is also installed
By default IIS is set to use .
net 4
I verify aspnet_isapi.dll used in application extension are from
version 4.0.30319 .
NET asemblies folder.
I also added the wildcard mapping to aspnet_isapi.dll and unchecked
verify file exists.
Under Directory Security in Authentication Methods I have disabled
anonymos access and enabled Integrated Windows authentication(same as
the one on the server that it works)
I have copied the same
web.config with the
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
I have set Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read for the
Networkservice account(under which the app pool is working). Also I
have set the same for Network account, IIS_WPG, ASPNET and
IUSR_MAchineName.
I do not have an EnableExte??nsionlessUrls but even if I create it
and set it to true or false it does not help.
I also tried
http://haacked.com/archive/2010/12/22/asp-net-mvc-3-extensionless-urls-on-iis-6.aspx
and it did not help.
But I kept getting 403 Directory Listing Denied for the root and 404 for an action that I know should exist.
Web Platform installer was then used to re-install and possibly update .
net,
asp.
net etc. I then noticed IIS was reset to default. So I added the wildcard mapping again. No, luck still 403.
I exported configuration files from the working server setup and created new default app pool and new default website using those configurations.
Still I get 403 Directory Listing Denied for the / and 404 for any action I try.
