Hosting asp.net website on IIS

Recently I have made a website on VS2012 with C# and after hosting it on IIS7 in Windows 7(32bit); unable to view website while browsing it “localhost refused to connect”.

For this I have applied following processes:

1. Check IIS->www services->Application Development Features-> Enable ASP.NET, ISAPI Exten and Filters

2. Publish my website as “File System” publish method successfully.

3. Cmd prompt cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\V4.0.30319 press enter and then

asp_netregiis.exe –I –enable

4. Open IIS Manager as Admin, Right Click on Sites ->Add Website->Enter Site Name, Physical path, IP Address of My PC and change port to 10 (Since My PC connected through LAN)

On Click “Test Settings” I got a warning in Authorization : can not verify access to path(C:\MyWebsite)

On Click “Connect as…” I select Application User (pass through authentication)

5. In Application Pool of my website Set .NET framework to 4.0

6. Now I added Default document

I also tried these tricks

· Giving a host name as www.mysite.com and add it on C->Windows->System32->drivers->etc->hosts (open it in notepad) then write

127.0.0.1 www.mysite.com & save it.

· Also tried to host my website inside inetpub->wwwroot

· Impersonate in web.config, <identity impersonate="true" /> inside

· Authentication in IIS of my site set Anonymous authentication Enable & Impersonation Enable

Pl help me.

First of all thanking you all, for taking this into your consideration.
As I am working in a PC connected thorugh LAN PC installed with Windows7(32bit).
I tried your trick of giving username and password, on Connect as… option , it removes the warning message but still unable to browse my website.

I also tried with another port no, still the problem persist.
Pl help

I was having the same issue till just now; just as you mentioned, I tried "Connect As" and the username and password that I wrote down, was my machine's user (IIS is running on this machine), I tested the connection and it works now. Maybe if you weren't using that machine's user (try user with administrator privileges), you should give it a try, it worked for me, it may work in your case as well.

Try a port number for URL.
