localstart.asp - how do I disable this?

How do I disable localstart.asp?

I have found this file in the inetpub/

http://wwwroot

directory. I deleted the file. I left the file there but removed all the text. I restarted iis using iisreset but when I type in

http://localhost/localstart.asp

I still get prompted to login.

I have searched on this but all I can find is how to get this file working if it isn't; not how to disable it.

Any ideas?



Thanks,

Gabe

Rename the file to localstart.asp.canned

Thanks, I did this and I still get prompted to login. Do I need to reboot the server? I executed iisreset and that did not help.

Thanks.


Thanks,

Gabe

To remove the login prompt, you'll have to enable anonymous access to the site.

Thanks. I only have anonymous selected in IIS properties for the web site.

Is there anywhere else I need to make the change?

Thanks

Thanks,

Make sure that the account that IIS is using has access to the folder (NTFS permissions).

Make sure that the account that IIS is using has access to the folder (NTFS permissions).

To elaborate on mrdenny's statement...

Double-Click My Computer
Double-Click C: Drive (or drive where you have Windows installed.)
Double-Click Inetpub (C:\Inetpub)
Right-Click

http://wwwroot

(C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot)

Select Properties from the diaglog menu. This will open the Properties window for directory '

http://wwwroot'.

Select the Security Tab.
Click Add, then Click Advanced, then Click Find Now.
Scroll down until you see IUSR_[machinename] where [machinename] is the name of the computer. (There is only one IUSR account, so there is no mistaking it.)
Double-Click on this IUSR account.
Click Ok, Apply, Ok to backout of all those windows.
All Done.
