403 - Forbidden on basic MVC 3 deploy on iis7.5
asp.net, asp.net-mvc-3, iis-7.5
Solution
Run `aspnet_regiis -i`. Often I've found you need to do that to get 4.0 apps to work. Open a command prompt:
cd \
cd Windows\Microsoft .NET\Framework\v4.xxx.xxx
aspnet_regiis -i
Once it has installed and registered, make sure you application is using an application pool that is set to .NET 4.0.
Problem
Possible Duplicate: ASP.NET MVC on IIS 7.5 I am trying to deploy a basic MVC 3 application to my 2008 R2 Server running iis 7.5 but receive a "403 - Forbidden" error trying to view my page. I have anonymous authentication enabled, and my app pool is using the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" in integrated pipeline mode with .net 4.0. I don't know what "user" the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" is, but I've given IUSR read/write rights to the website folder. I don't have any other authentication schemes in place, the server is not even running in a domain. If I put a default html page in there, it loads fine. It's only my methods/controllers that I cannot get to function. How else can I troubleshoot this? Thanks,
