Yes, "simple file sharing" was enabled. I hate being denied acces to my own files, and I am the only user of his machine, therefore I had hoped that enabling it would simplify matters.
I disabled it now, and setting the folder Security to allow "full control" for all made no difference.

btw, after you disabled the simple file sharing, did you go back to \inetpub\wwwroot in windows explorer, open the properties page for the folder, and check on the security tab that the user account IUSR_computername has permissions assigned to the folder?

I went there, and found no IUSR listing, just Administrators, Alfred, System, Creator Owner, Users. I gave all listed accounts full control. |

if it wasn't listed, click the Add button to add the user. You don't really want to give all those other accounts full control. |

I tried that as well, but in the listing it drops the IUSR again, and just calls it "Administrators(Zuke/Administrators) "Zuke" being he computer name.

That is a good page, and explains it well. I had done all that, and am still "not authorized" (to view http://localhost\BG/!) What's even weirder is that "The page cannot be found" when it is still in the same folder as it always was: http://localhost\BG/forums/default.asp |

I did reinstall it today, but did not uninstall it before doing that. I guess I should try that now?
PS.: Just did, and after un- and reinstall it is working as if nothing had ever happened! SO it DID go crazy on it's own...? |
