On Windows7 Pro, trying to run IIS. The way I am used to execute is on the browser "localhost". I used to have the code in the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Even before I copy, I am hoping to see the image IIS welcome page. Once it is successful, want to copy the code as that was the way I used to do in Window XP. However I am getting the following message. I have administrator access to the machine and gave full permissions to the folder 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'. Still the same message. 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 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'. Can someone help me to address this issue. Thanks a lot in advance.

You should be able to fix this by giving your account read / execute permissions to 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'.

Can you confirm if you are you using anonymous authentication for the default site?

I did verify it is already anonymous authentication enabled. When I click on edit, found specific user : IUSR. Changed it to the id with which I log in and set the password. Then when went to the browser and typed in defaulthost, slightly better. I get the logon page of my application(this application built log page). When I click on it, HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used. <legend>Detailed Error Information</legend> Module StaticFileModule Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler StaticFile Error Code 0x80070001 Requested URL http://localhost:80/<name of the asp> Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<name of the asp> Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous For a minute that problem solved. I am wondering why Microsoft had to make it so difficult from XP to Windows 7, or if that is how it is, should have given instructions - step by step. Appreciate very much if any one can help here. Thanks Nigel for your input. Please see if you can help further. Further, I have updated back the IUSR. Still the same. Able to get the log on page, when I click it, it gets to the above.

A bit of searching online and I found the following IIS forum post by vdogra77 (http://forums.iis.net/t/1176772.aspx) This is typical to IIS 7.5 which has WebDAVModule installed by default which is causing this behavior and not recognizing PUT (and also DELETE) as valid Http verbs. Solution is to modify your web.config file with following and removing this module in the process. <system.webServer> <modules> <remove name="WebDAVModule" /> </modules> </system.webServer> Please try this and let me know if this works. If it doesn't, can you tell me a little about your application? Is it something you've created or is it part of a commercial product? Also, can you please enable logging and post anything you find that you think might help? A good guide can be found here http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/579/advanced-logging-for-iis---custom-logging/

What is the path of web.config , I am not able to find from C:, it is custom built, not commercial product.SatishDavaluri

Generally you need to either create the web.config file in the root of your application or website directory, or alternatively, let IIS create it for you by making some arbitrary configuration change with the configuration editor - the former option is more straightforward I think.

Thank you Nigel for following it up. I was looking to where (path) the web.config to be created and what else to be in if the content you mentioned to be removed. I wish Microsoft provide direct help or step by instructions to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 for IIS. As essentially there is no change to the code and just this permission issue. SatishDavaluri

Hi Satish, When it says to remove the module, that really means you need to add the section: <system.webServer> <modules> <remove name="WebDAVModule"/> </modules> </system.webServer> If that doesn't work, definitely go for the IIS forums suggested by Vincent.
