ASP.NET MVC on IIS 7.5

I am trying to deploy a basic MVC 3 application to my 2008 R2 Server running iis 7.5 but receive a "403 - Forbidden" error trying to view my page.

I have anonymous authentication enabled, and my app pool is using the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" in integrated pipeline mode with .net 4.0. I don't know what "user" the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" is, but I've given IUSR read/write rights to the website folder.

I don't have any other authentication schemes in place, the server is not even running in a domain.

If I put a default html page in there, it loads fine. It's only my methods/controllers that I cannot get to function.

How else can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Two things to try:

  1. Give permission to the directory in which your website is stored to "Network Services". That's the account that is used for ApplicationPoolIdentity in Server 2008.
  2. If that fails, change ApplicationPoolIdentity to an account for which you have given explicit permissions to your website directory.
