with IIS, sometimes related to CF. And I'll start by saying that I
have attempted all the permissions fixes that I can find in both the
Macromedia and Microsoft knowledge bases.
Basically, yesterday my development server (CFMX 6.1, Windows 2003
Server) stopped accepting anonymous accesses. It began presenting a
challenge box. However, it wouldn't accept authentication, either,
for any user on the server. The problem, while possibly related to
CF, does not simply affect the processing of .cfm pages. Even static
content (.htm, .gif) produces a 401 error.
This followed a change of the user under which CF was running, but
not immediately. I made that change last Friday, but things continued
to work fine. I cannot say for sure whether the machine was rebooted
at some time after that, before the permissions problems arose.
But to reiterate -- it won't accept either anonymous access or
Windows authorization. After going through all the fixes suggested in
knowledge base articles, I finally uninstalled both IIS and CF, then
reinstalled IIS. At that point, anonymous access worked again, for
static content (I did not test ASP pages).
I then reinstalled CFMX 6.1, and the problem returned. No access,
either anonymous or Windows authenticated, regardless of the settings
within IIS (Anonymous on, Windows off - or vice versa). I have
checked the file permissions multiple times. The web root directory
shows Read and Execute permissions for the anonymous Internet user
account, and these permissions are not inherited, but applied
directly to the web root and all enclosed files and folders. When I
look at the permissions of individual files, they read the same way.
But IIS will not allow me access, either anonymous or authenticated.
I'm guessing there's something buried in the Registry that's causing
this, but it's beyond me. Any help would certainly be appreciated.
