HTTP 403 Forbidden : This website requires you to log in - iis

Using asp .net MVC 4.0 , razor , VS2010 , IIS5.2 , windows Server 2003
I have built an application which i want to publish in IIS. what i did is listed below:
Cleaned then built the solution.
right click on project file and clicked PUBLISH.
publish method : File System
Target Location : C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testing
then publish.
Then i went to IIS and got my site in Default web sites. happy :). Then i did:
right clicked on testing(my app) and open properties.
In the tabdirectory everything goes fine.
in asp.nettab, i set asp .net version 4.0.30319
here is a little confusion, I set home/index as my default content page in documentstab
then I right click testing and clicked browse. And it shows :
Most likely causes:
This website requires you to log in.
This error(HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that this program was able to connect to
the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.
a short summury what i got as error message. This is my fist mvc application and first hosting. What is my fault here? what should i do now?

I had the similar issue. Please try the following:
A. Suggestion below from Microsoft Technet helped me:
The solution is to ensure that the Authenticated Users or \Users group (which usually contains DOMAIN\Users group) has Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read permissions on the /BIN folder below C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories{Sitename80}. Follow the steps listed below to grant the required permissions:
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the /bin directory of
your web application
Right-click on the folder and click on Properties
Go to Security tab and click on Edit
Click on Add and add the local server group Authenticated
Users or < SERVER NAME >\Users (this usually contains
DOMAIN\Users group).
Select the Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read
permissions (if you are planning to add Everyone to the /bin folder,
grant Read permissions only)
Click OK to apply the new settings
NOTE: you may need to to it after every Publish, as permissions somehow may get reset.
B. In VS - set the default page for your website, or try navigating to specific page as opposed to simply opening the website with only the site name.
I know it sounds dumb, but that also was the problem for me
after publishing your webiste to IIS, navigate to http://myServer/mySite/somePage instead of http://myServer/MySite

How to set up IIS 10 for MVC 5?

The title is purposely generic as I have no clue to formulate my question in any different way.
I have made an MVC 5 project using .NET 4.7.
My goal is to use IIS 10 to point to a domain so I can use that as a testing ground.
I have already edited my host-file to point my localhost ip to the domain I have in mind.
After that I have followed every step mentioned in the video below meticulously.
However I keep ending up on the 403.14 error page.
I have adjusted security to no avail, checked the app-pool to use the correct .net version... I'm all out off ideas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwbKquNBNgQ
I hope someone here has some idea of things I have not thought of myself, so feel free to ask anything you think might make the change I need to make this work. I will edit this message (and title) as much as needed to keep up to date as possible.
EDIT: I have followed the full guide that I have marked as an answer. I had 3 differences.
Difference 1 was in Windows Features. I think I just plain didn't correctly mark all the needed features..
Difference 2 was in Security. I did not have IIS_IUSRS added, only IUSR
Difference 3 is one I have purposely keep a difference and that is Directory Browsing. Without this being enabled, it works for me.
I hope that if anyone ends up on this page in the future, the answer provided below will be as helpful as it has been to me.
make sure you enabled below iis features:
please follow the below steps to publish your MVC project in iis.
1)open the visual studio. Select your site and right-click on that-> Click publish.
2)in pick up publish target Select folder option and create choose destination where you want to publish the site. (make a new folder and publish a site in that folder) and then select publish.
3)open IIS manager.
4)expand the server name and right-click on sites and select add a new site.
5)enter the site name, physical path, and site binding details.
ip address: select your machine ip address.
port: 80
domain name: your domain name
6)make sure you enabled directory browsing in iis.
7) The application pool is running under application pool identity, a version is correct and using the integrated pipeline.
8)anonymous authentication is enabled.
9)iis_iusrs and iusr have full permission to access the site folder.
host file enry:
bind your machine IP dress with a hostname of the site.
after doing all the changes refresh the site in iis and browse.

IIS 8.5 is not serving JS, CSS, and Image files (static content)

The problem
We're running IIS on Windows 8.1 with Update. We're at the Orchard CMS first time setup screen, and IIS is giving 401s for all static content. We have read the following to no avail:
IIS 7.5 no images css js showing
IIS 7.5 no images css js showing
The official Orchard deployment documentation
Based on those, this is what I have tried that doesn't work.
Turn on the IIS feature to Serve Static Content.
Give IIS_IUSRS permission to Read, write & execute.
Give the site's application pool permission to Read, write & execute.
What does work though is the nuclear option: to give Everyone the Read permission (unless we want to proceed with the Orchard setup; then we need to give Everyone even more permissions.) That leads me to believe that I must give permission to some principle with less scope than Everyone but more scope than both IIS_IUSRS and the application pool combined.
Who/what is that principle?
Pictures to show the problem
We receive a 401 on ..\Themes\SafeMode\Styles\site.css
The task manager confirms that the site is running as the orchard user.
The security properties of the ..\Themes\SafeMode\Styles\ directory gives Read permission to orchard.
Why does it only work when we give Read permission to Everyone?
I had a similar problem. Under authentication, I right clicked "Anonymous Authentication" and clicked "Edit". That shows a dialog giving you the ability to set the identity of the anonymous user. I set it to "Application pool identity" and that fixed the problem for me.
.
This may not be the most secure configuration though, but I'm on a dev server so I don't care.
Try turn on the Static Content and Directory Browsing features under Internet Information Services->World Wide Web Services->Common HTTP Features node.
In my case I had to set Read permission for IUSR user for the web site folder.
So, what I had to do to fix this problem was the following:
(and please understand, that this is not ASP or PHP script related, the server wouldn't even show basic simple .html files, yet would serve out PHP results all day long!)
Two fold…
Had to set the application pool for each site, under advanced settings, to use LocalSystem for it’s process
Under site, advanced settings, security, add the IUSR account to have read & list contents access, for the site… :-)
See any problems with doing that?
'cuz it's working....
Updating windows feature for WWW services/Common Http Features/static content by selecting Static Content checkbox fixed my IIS not service static content issue.
Open IIS -> go to advanced settings of selected website and open Physical Path Credentials -> Select specific user and enter your local user credentials. Open below screenshot for further visualising the things:

HTTP Error 403.14

I'm setting up an MVC site on a new live server. On other non-live servers it worked but on live I get this error
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
I have installed MVC 3 and MVC 4 but I still get this error. I restarted the site in IIS and restarted the server but nothing is working. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
I am using IIS7.
You may need to add the correct permissions for that folder.
Right click on the folder in windows explorer and click on Properties.
Go to the Security tab and click "Edit".
Then click "Add".
Make sure the Location is your current computer.
In the object names textbox type in "IIS AppPool\MyApplicationPoolName", where MyApplicationPoolName is the name of the application pool in IIS.
Click OK. In the permissions window make sure the new user is selected and tick "Modify", or whatever permissions you require. Click OK and close the properties window.
Hope this helps - be sure you don't grant more permissions than you actually need in a live environment, but as a rule modify is appropriate for a web application.

Loading a web site to IIS

A developer just send me a running website files from IIS directory. I want to know if I can run the website on my PC. The file contain "Default.aspx" file, which I assume is of some importance.
I want to know if it is possible to run the website on my PC, I have installed IIS and I placed the file in the wwwroot folder, but unfortunately I dont know how to proceed from here.
Can someone please point me to the right way to continue with this task.
Thanks in advance
First time use of IIS
Now that IIS is running on your system, it should have defaulted to running on port 80. You can test this out by going to http://localhost/
The file you have placed in the wwwroot directory Default.aspx is an ASP.NET application. You need to go to IIS and convert the directory it is stored into a web application.
Now when creating web applications, it is better to create them in another folder other than your wwwroot folder, and in the case of this tutorial it is easier. Move your Default.aspx into a folder named 'webapp', or something of the like.
To convert it into an application, do the following:
In the Server Manager, expand the
'Roles' item in the tree
Expand the 'Web Server (IIS)' item
Click on 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
In the window on the right hand side, you will need to open up your server. In my case, my server is called WIN2008R2. Your server name will be located inside the 'Connections' pane. Expand your server in the tree
Expand the 'Sites' item
Expand your newly created site. There should only be one there, and the item will have a globe next to it
Now right click on your 'webapp' item which will have a folder next to it, and click 'Convert to Application'. Then leave all the properties the same in the window that comes up and click OK.
You have now created a new web application. By going to http://localhost/webapp you should see it working.
You need to configure IIS to host an ASP.NET website.
You can find information about configuring IIS here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178477.aspx
Another option is using the Cassini web server (instead of IIS). You may find it easier to configure: http://ultidev.com/products/cassini/

Page Not Found Error on SharePoint Sites in TFS

I'm in big trouble here, today i was asked to add a new user to TFS, the first thing I do is adding it to SharePoint, but now every time I tried to enter the project portal (Team Explorer -> right click on project -> Show project portal) I got an page not found error, with every single project, Here are some basic info about the setup:
2 Tier TFS, TFS server, ReportServices and SharePoint are on the same server.
If I try to enter administration portal on this server (cd21vids1 is the tfs server)
http://cd21vids1:17012/ -- I get Directory Listing Denied
http://cd21vids1:17012/default.aspx -- I get the default page, which works OK.
If i enter a project site i get this results (88 is the default port for SharePoint in this server):
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/ -- Page not found
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/default.aspx -- I get the page but with no styles and the layout is wrong, also i get an error on the "remaining work" report (directory listing denied), the reports that have problems are "Issues List" and "Exit Criteria Status" (Directory Listing Denied on both cases).
Everything else seems to work OK, (builds, check-ins), I hope you can help me out, thanks.
Juan Zamudio
UPDATE: I did some more tests, i get a page not found error in the url
http://cd21vids1:88/Sites/Cnbv.Framework/_styles/core.css
Maybe this is way I get the default page without the correct layout.
UPDATE2: Also when I click the "Windows Sharepoint Services Site Administration" link I get this error:
"The Team Foundation Server could not locate the online Site Administration application for this team project portal in Windows SharePoint Services. The most likely cause of this error is that the language settings on the team project portal do not match the current language of your Visual Studio client. The location of Site Administration is specific to the language of the project portal. Contact the Team Foundation Server administrator for availability information of Site Administration for this project portal. For more information, see the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide."
Someone changed the language to the server from English US to Spanish MX, I changed the language back to English and restarted the server but no dice (BTW I already had a folder named 2058 in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\" like explained in this post
my SharePoint problem is fixed, here are the details.
Run "SharePoint Product Technologies Configuration Wizard"
1.1. Select do not disconnect from this server farm, click next
1.2. Select No, this machine will continue to host the web site, click next.
1.3 Click Next
Restart IIS
I have had the same problem with the core.css file. I didn't want to use Sharepoint designer to solve it cause it would have unghosted my site!
So I tried this (it works) : on the site administration, go to "master page", and down the page you have a way to redefine the css used for the site. So i put there the url :/_layouts/1036/Styles/core.css (1036= French, so use 1033 if you are site is in english!), and after validation it worked.
The problem is that the page still try to get the core.css from http://MYServeur/_styles/core.css ..and return a 404!
But at least I have my style back. I just post it in case... I still hope a real better solution...
