  401 Error for all pages/directories Reply Contact I get the following error for all files on the server: "Server Error 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied." I've checked the permissions on the wwwroot folder and the IUSR_machine account has read & execute permissions. This problem seemed to crop up at the same time I installed ColdFusion, but I can't even access a simple html file, so I don't think ColdFusion is messing it up.

Check permissions on the latter if you're running IIS 7.  For more info, see http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/140/understanding-the-built-in-user-and-group-accounts-in-iis-70/. Benjamin Curry

  Re: 401 Error for all pages/directories Reply Contact Hello, Check out the following article which details the troubleshooting steps for each 401.x error: Troubleshooting HTTP 401 errors in IIS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907273 Since you installed Coldfusion, I would check the Web Service Extension settings to ensure everything is Allowed that should be, and that your Handler Mappings are configured correctly in your site's properties, as ColdFusion tends to try to take over all handler mappings with a wildcard entry. Hope this helps! Brock Hensley Technical Support Representative http://www.ServerIntellect.com Managed Servers, 24x7 U.S. Support, Web Hosting Solutions.

The handler mappings have been switched to COldfusion mappings, there is an entry thats just * that I guess is forwarding everything to one of the ColdFusion dlls.
