IIS6 on Server 2003 (Resolved)

[BodwadUK]

I have just installed IIS6.0 on Server 2003. When I go to install Front page extensions 2002 it asks me for a password?

What password?

I have tried the admin account, guest account I have no others. Its really pis**ng me off

Go to inetmgr and change the security settings for your web application. Drop Front Page if you can, though. It is t3h s0x0rz. omg.

[BodwadUK]

Yes yes yes

Its Monday give me some slack.


So what is Internet Manager

[mendhak]

Start > Run > inetmgr

I don't believe you haven't used IIS before.

I normally go through admin tools

Where do I set the password. If you mean the site one it is set to anonymous(sp)

Thats probably why you can't get in - you can't spell the password properly.

Its nice to know that your back at work Bodwad.

Makes a change you lazy sod.
You should be more respectfull of your employers like the rest of us.

So what is the default password for the anonymous account?


I tried Anonymous but it wont work

IIS 6 is sh** I cant even get my VB6 DLL to work!!!

[mendhak]

Enable Anonymous access.

Also, what do you have in the Extensions tab?

Edit: THere should be an account/username/pwd filled in already. You could give yours if you like, or the admins

[BodwadUK]

Its says in the extensions tab that I need to enable Server extentions in the task option. Which is what I am trying but I get a password box.

My anon username is the pcname (cut and pasted to the username box)

The password is something I cant see

I tried to change it to the admins account but that just means any connections from IE ask for a a password and doesnt work at all.




I am a VB programmer with no Web experiance but this company expects me to do this all by september. It a rubbish web page because I learnt ASP and VB dlls but trial and error from websites

[BodwadUK]

it was all to do with folder security.

I had to set permissions on the folder that contained the DLL

Right click the folder and select security




Thanks all I didnt need Frontpage extensions in the end
