Hi,

We are hosting our site containing simple html pages and fw asp.net pages on
"Windows Server 2003 Web Edition". using IIS 6.0
All the web pages are copied under "c:\inetpub\wwwroot " directory.

Under the directory security tab, under authentication methods, anonymous
access is enabled, with no other option for authentication selected.

When we try to open the website using http://localhost or
http://localhost/index.html it does not open up the page and following error
message is displayed.

You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the
credentials that you supplied.
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid
credentials.

Seeking for urgent help. We have tried evrything so far, but no luck.

Thanks & Regards

I've been having fun myself with these issues, if it's any
encouragement, I only started using IIS 6 on Sunday and by Monday I
had I solved 401 errors and other problems to have a fully functioning
website. The thing that gave me the most trouble was my own stupidty
in forgetting to let http through the firewall, lol.

I would tell you how I solved 401.1 but I was having to work quickly
and didn't make notes, ujst went straight onto the next thing
straightaway and don't recall everything, sorry I can't give specific
help.

Anyway the first link is a good starting place and the others have
detailed information if you need to delve a bit deeper.

cheers
