I have an entry in hosts file with a test domain for a local site and when I ping, it only works with www.domain.dev and when I bind it to a web application (that same application works on Cassini server) in IIS and try to run in browser, it won't work either, and I get:
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
So many times before I was working with hosts file without any issues.
I am out of the clues as what might be the problem.
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't see it.
Thanks!
Yep, this one tripped me up for a few hours one day too. This is what I did to resolve it (Method 1):

I have read a few answers to try and find a solution to a ridiculous problem.
I dont have access to a server that I can log on to access phpmyadmin,
What is supposed to happen is that the web url is supposed to be viewed via https, and in most cases this happens.
Except for a particular PC I have at home and it never seems to open in https. Why this is happening on this given machine is completely unknown.
Is there a way I can set up a rule on my local machine that will ALWAYS convert http://pathtomysite.com to https://pathtomysecuresite.com, (possibly via the 'hosts' entry (and yes it is a windows machine running win10).
I could do this on the web server itself, I know how to do this, but the problem is, I don't have, nor am I allowed to have, access to the database server to update the .htaccess or webconfig.xml on the server. (I am 99% sure its Apache, not nginx or IIS).
Any help is allows gratefully received.
I have been working with IIS 7 for a while and it has worked fine until it just suddenly started throwing 404 errors for my multiple websites even though they actually exist. All of the configurations seems fine (path, default document) but not a single file, no matter the format or location will be loaded.
Another strange thing is that everything works when I try to access the websites via localhost or 127.0.0.1 but not through my external IP.
Does anyone know why this could happen and how I can fix it?
Edit:
It appears this 404 page is not the built in IIS error page. It is associated with nginx but I'm not sure where the file is located on my server or why my pages are being intercepted.
It turns at the server was hijacked by Morfeus F***ing Scanner, which I was not aware was even a thing until this happened. It's activity showed up in the server access logs. I basically had to reset the entire server. It was quite a chore.
I have an S: which is connected via a username that exists both on server1 & server2.
The mapped drive works fine.
I connect this as a virtual directory called config in IIS it connects and works fine. I can see in content view the files in the mapped drive.
When I attempt to browse to one of these files it gets an error 500
http://www.mydomain.com/config/file.html
file.html is there
I've done this before, Im sure its a permission or security issue somehow, but I cant work it out
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Give up mapped drives please,

The answer was two part.
Part one I was simply browsing the website, I wasn't using https and thus I was getting a different IIS site that didn't have the virtual directory.
Part two was I was using ColdFusion attempting to run a .cfm from the virtual directory, even with the correct website, it still got an error 404.
The resolution for this was to ensure the ColdFusion service was run as Administrator rather than LocalSystem and all was good.
Just for everyones reference, if you create the same username / password on both servers, share using that username, connect using UNC path and that username and it will work, no special permissions or anything.
Thanks to Karl & Lex for the help.
I Have hosted a website in IIS 7.5.Which was working fine till yesterday.But suddenly today am not able to access any of its pages and am getting following error.
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
Googled a lot but could not find any resolutions.Any Comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Have you checked to see if anything has changed for the user IIS_IUSRS?
Check what type of security you have in place. Was it anonymous before and needs some type of windows integration?
We've just set up a new dedicated server at hostgator, running Windows 2008 Server, IIS7 and ColdFusion 8 ENT.
On browsing the homepage, sometimes the site works, sometimes, part of the site runs and I can see a 403 error in Firebug. At other times, I only get an IIS error page saying:
"403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
The site is http://www.asia-buy.com. It might run first time, but if you refresh it a few times, you'll probably encounter the problem.
There is a lot of ajax and JSON stuff going on under the hood and I'm wondering if that has any bearing on the problem.
Would appreciate advice from anyone who may have solved a similar issue in the past.
Resolved: Hostgator says this is actually a security setting in IIS to attempt to prevent DDOS attacks on the website. A a developer, I use CTRL-F5 a lot. A normal user would not.
Full error:
HTTP Error 403.502 - Forbidden
The IP address from which you are browsing is not permitted to access the requested Web site because it has made too many requests over short period of time.
Open IIS Manager.
Go to your website.
Go to Features/IP Address and Domain Restrictions/Dynamic IP Restriction Settings
Uncheck the boxes, or change the values, as needed
