hi,

I had the same problem as u had. i reinstalled my IIS and it worked fine. Also for the error,
"unable to start debugging on the web server. access is denied"

after u reinstall the IIS, right click the project and say create the application and then run the application.

Hope you understood.

Thanks and regards

authentication mode...now where is that in mozilla? i've looked at tools>>options...but in vain!

[Exelio]

Hi,
Go to Control panels -> Administrative tools -> Internet information services, and browse to your application folder. right click it -> properties -> directory security tab -> click the upper edit button -> ensure yourself that only checkbox checked is 'integrated windows authentication'

Try this and see if it works.

Thanks and regards
