We have a coldfusion app that contains many pages. We have navigation link like:

Home >> Tools >> Management

All of the sudden, when I press on the link, for example "Management", I get a pop-up login window, asking me to login to the site. The login window list the User Name and Password.

Any help would be greatfull

Thanks,
Mike
 
what kind of login? A javascript or a brower login box? Are you using IIS? If so is aunonomous access disabled? Or is it one of your application's login forms?
 
It appears to be a javacript window.

I get the window in netscape and internet explorer.

Netscape says:

Enter the user and password for "" at mesllc.net:

Two fields for username and password. So it looks like a javascript prompt.

This only occures on our host, never happens in my test environment runnig apache.
Thanks for your quick response...

i've also seen this when you do not have appropriate file system permissions on the file you are trying to load when you get that popup.

Thanks for post. I am still battling the issue...

Thanks,

Problems Solved.

NorthStarDA, your post pointed me in the correct direction. It seems that a new folder was created on the server that did not have the correct file permissions. Once I changed the attributes. All the pop-ups went away.

Thanks NorthStarDA,

Mike
