Re: VS2008 HTTP 403 Help!!
If I'm not mistaken, the account which should be given access rights to any physical directory
which holds ASP.NET files for Windows XP is the MachineName\ASPNET account.
Please save the following code as "identity.aspx" :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = "ASP.NET is running as the account : " & tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>What account is ASP.NET running as ?</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
-----------------
Save it to the wwwroot directory, and run it as :
http://localhost/identity.aspx
You can click that link after you save the file to the wwwroot directory.
Then, please post back the results you got.
I think you will get back "YourMachineName\ASPNET",
unless you have changed the account by configuring an account to impersonate.

Re: VS2008 HTTP 403 Help!!
re:
!> Just when I switch to IIS in VS2008 project properties - WEB do I run into problems
I just reproduced what you're seeing.
I think it may be related to VS 2008 running ASP.NET apps as MachineName\Administrator,
while IIS runs them as MachineName\ASP.NET_account, in your case : MachineName\ASPNET
and in my case, MachineName\Network Service.
What I don't understand is why the MachineName\ASP.NET_account's permissions don't take hold,
even though the account is explicitly granted access permissions.
I did find a workaround for your problem which, as mentioned, I was able to reproduce.
What I did was *publish* the project to a disk-based directory.
Then, I created a virtual directory in IIS which points to the directory where the project was published to.
After that, using the option "Open web site" in VS 2008,
allowed me to open, edit and run the published project.
Also, if I open the property pages for the project,
and configure the "Use custom server" option to http://localhost/ApplicationName/,
(the same virtual directory name I created in IIS) I can also browse the project from within VS 2008 using IIS.
So, while this is a good workaround, it looks like you found a bug.
Can you file a bug report at the Connect site ?

Re: VS2008 HTTP 403 Help!!
Sure Juan - what's the url to the "Connect site" ?
Also now after doing this I've getting the following error on build
Error 1 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. D:\_VS2008 PROJECTS\TestWebApp\TestWebApp\Web.config 70
Seems like the publish took away the projects web app status.
My project now looks like "D:\_VS2008 PROJECTS\TestWebApp\
Looks like when you publish this it just reverts to using the old dev server
and not IIS
http://localhost:4788/TestWebApplication/
which does work but I want to use IIS........
what's the url to the "Connect site" ?
Thanks

re:

http://connect.microsoft.com/
You'll need to use your Windows Live ID to sign in.
If you don't have one, create one and then sign in to Connect.
re:
> Also now after doing this I've getting the following error on build

That error is caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
Check in your IIS Manager, and make sure you created a virtual directory for your app.
re:
!> Looks like when you publish this it just reverts to using the old dev server
!> and not IIS http://localhost:4788/TestWebApplication/
!> which does work but I want to use IIS
You need to open the property pages for the project, and configure the "Use custom server"
option to http://localhost/ApplicationName/, (the same virtual directory name created in IIS)
and you will be able to browse the project from within VS 2008 using IIS.

I tried the workaround and could never get it to work - I'll send this to MS

Re: VS2008 HTTP 403 Help!!
Juan,
I figured it was something simple....cause it was so hard to solve.....
Seems like the web app project does not default to the ONLY aspx in a
project during debug run. Highlighting the default.aspx before debug start
or explicitly setting Default.aspx to the start page works. Otherwise in
debug it will not search for the default or index files to run - it just
HTTP 403s.
I don't remember every having this problem before VS2008....course I've been
doing mostly smart device apps until last week or so so maybe i'm just
really rusty....
Thanks for all your help....

Re: VS2008 HTTP 403 Help!!
re:
!> the web app project does not default to the ONLY aspx in a project during debug run.
That's not exactly the bug... ;-)
re:
!> Highlighting the default.aspx before debug start or explicitly setting Default.aspx to the start page works.
!> Otherwise in debug it will not search for the default or index files to run - it just HTTP 403s.
That's an alleged workaround which doesn't work, not a solution to the bug.
They should fix the behavior in the next SP.
We don't need any "gotchas" in VS 2008... ;-)
I noticed the request that the bug report be closed,
and added a comment requesting that the bug report not be closed.
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=355757
I can still reproduce the problem in all its splendor... :-(
