I created a new website, using the ASP .NET Website template. Before I
did anything, I tried running it in debug mode. This worked, giving a
blank page. I then moved the site to become the default site on my
machine. At first, I had issues with an XML error that came up. After
I setup IIS to use ASP .NET 2.0, I started getting the 403 -- You
are not authorized to view this page, when I try to look at localhost.

Is there some code that is needed?

Thanks,

What have you done to troubleshoot. I can think of half a dozen steps I
would take before posting to half a dozen newsgroups.

Had this been an interview question, I wouldn't hire you
 
Thank you, Jeff, for the spam that helps not one wit learn. Now, if
you've got something useful to say, say it. I would greatly appreciate
any help I can be given to learn what I should do. That is what I
thought these newsgroups were for. If you want to take it offline, that
is fine too.


Thanks,

Ed
 
Nah, just throw up your hands. There is no hope.

You can just expect people to solve all your problems..that entitlement
attitude that seems to be so common.

I am happy to help, and instruct, anyone, if they don't expect someone to do
their work for them.

Or, you can try to troubleshoot. It "seems" to be a permissions issue. Here
is what I would do:

* Create a one-line test.htm page and test

* Turn on Anonymous

* Make sure you are in the local Admin group

* View Event Log

* Try a different vdir on the same machine, with no web.config or
global.asax

* Remove web.config and global.asax from the root, and test a one-line
test.aspx

* Get a book
 
Thanks for the help. I don't care what anybody say about you. You're
really a nice guy.
