Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I give up, tried just about everything I know.

Here's my setup:

  1. running Subtext 2.5 open source blog software

  2. this software runs under the .NET 4.0 app pool and the project is definitely running on the .NET 4.0 framework

  3. I've set the app pool identity to use Network Service
  4. I ensured that network service and IUSR both have full rights to that entire tree of my file system...my www tree which holds this app and a ton of others
  5. I'm running Anonymous Auth. Tried the others with no luck such as impersonation, etc.

This is a localhost website on my Win 7 64-bit OS.

I still get this error at runtime and I just cannot figure out what I am missing here.

Not sure how to get the details of exactly what's going on behind this 403 outside the simple permission statement.
