Im using Windows XP and IIS. Thanks!
You are not authorized to view this page You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource Internet Information Services
The error message indicates that there are not sufficient permissions set. Since it is indicating it won't let you view the page, it appears that the permissions are incorrect for the folder holding setup.asp. Be sure that you have read and execute permissions set.
For the folder holding the database, be sure you have read/write permissions for the IUSR_YOURMACHINENAME account, where YOURMACHINE is the value specific to your server.
well I gave all of the folders full control for pretty much every category since I couldn't figure out why it was giving me that.. and I still get the same error.. maybe I need to reboot? I had a different website i was working on in the wwwroot folder and I took it out...
