Error: 403.14 Forbidden (cant load default login page)

Ahmed Khalid

Hi,

I have a working application in my development environment. When I migrated to live server, am getting the following error Error 403.14 (also screen shot attached). I have taken the following steps:

1. Have verified the webconfig file to make sure the default page is defined: as "userLogin.aspx"

2. the login page name is correct "userLogin.aspx"

3. When I pass other pages in the url, they get loaded but when i pass the default url page, it doesnt get loaded

And I dont have a clue where else to check.

Kindly any suggestion?

Regards,

Ahmed

Hello Ahmed,

The error may be caused by missing index files such as index.html. Ensure that these files exist on the server.

This is not related to your login page, rather how you deployed on IIS.

Make sure in IIS

1.anonymous authentication is enabled.

2.Application Pool-->Advanced Settings -->Application Pool Identity is set to Application Pool Identity or Local System.

3. .Net CLR version is set to .NET 4.0 (from application pool advanced settings)

4. Mode is integrated mode.

Hi Naimish,

I tried to follow some steps for tracing source of error by placing a simple plane "helloworld.aspx" now i am getting other error

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'AKKBUZZ_PROJECTS.HelloWorld'.

Well, AKKBUZZ_Projects is my local development directory. What do you suggest in this case?
