Installation - 403.14 - Forbidden

[bhet...@outlook.com]

Hi,

I have unzipped the source in my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\roadkill folder and adding a web site to that path in IIS Manager. This is on a Windows 2008 R2 server.

I have also downloaded and installed MVC 3 from the Web Platform Installer at http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc3.

The install seems like it should be a no-brainer, but I'm getting a 403.14 - Forbidden when I try to access http://localhost/RoadKill/.

The web app is configured to NOT list the contents of this directory. I know I shouldn't have to enable directory browsing, but if it helps, when I did that and tried to browser views\install\index.html (or any page), I get this error:

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Source Error:
Line 25: <anonymousIdentification enabled="true" />

Anonymous and Forms Authentication are enabled on the web site.

Q. What am I missing?

Thanks in Advance,
Brent

This is usually from the asp.net feature missing in IIS, or the permissions being restricted to read in the handlers on the server, it will need execute as well.

Thanks much for the reply Chris.

 

We have another MVC site running successfully on that server (and I’ve run aspnet_regiis -ir) so asp.net is there.

As far as permissions, for now, I’ve given EVERYONE Full Control to the file folder and subfolders where the files are installed.

And from the Handler Mappings on that web site, I’ve chosen “Edit Feature Permissions” and given Read, Script and Execute.

 

I’ve tried to get this to install on my local machine (Windows 10) and I at least get to choose my language, but the “Test” to write to the web.config fails due to permissions (Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\v3rxqvs3.tmp' is denied._ which again makes no sense to me because at the folder level I’ve added EVERYONE Full Control.

 

I’m no genius, but I can’t believe I’ve spent 5 hours trying to get a copy/paste site up and running.

 

Thanks,

Brent

One bit of information about installing on my local machine… I was using the Edge browser and it was failing the permissions test with: Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\v3rxqvs3.tmp' is denied.

 

I opened the site in IE 11 and it installed successfully.

 

Thanks,

Brent
