The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Problem with authentication promts after installing Coldfusion 8 on IIS on Windows Server 2003 vanilla system

Asked by sah18 in ColdFusion Application Server, Microsoft IIS Web Server

I have a vanilla Windows Server 2003 standard system, with only the OS installed by my institution. IIS is running with just a single default web site, port 80, only a single index.htm file. These files are stored in a custom folder on the D drive, but all seems to be working fine.

When I run through the Coldfusion 8 installation on this system, the installer runs all the way through without any errors. I get up to the screen where it will "Launch the Configuration Wizard in the default browser"; however, when it tries to launch the page in the browser, I get a "You are not authorized to view this page" message. But, in fact, if I at this point just try to look at the default index.htm page (which was working just fine before the install), I get that same message for it too!!!

Here is the full message:
---
You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page due to the access control list (ACL) that is configured for this resource on the Web server.

Please try the following:

* Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
* Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

* Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 401.
* Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled About Security, Access Control, and About Custom Error Messages.
---

Does anyone have any ideas on what has changed, or what I can check?

I get this message when I try to access the index.htm page even when remoted into the server:
http://localhost/index.htm
http://localhost
http:/127.0.0.1
http:/127.0.0.1/index.htm

*all* of which worked previously before I attempted the CF install.
I also want to mention that I changed the CF install folder to one different from the default (I changed it to D drive), in case that makes a difference. There is little space on C, and I want only the OS to reside there.

Any and all suggestions are welcome! Please help!!!Start Free Trial
