I developed my first website for a simple internal application using Webmatrix in a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine.
I’m able to open the site with a browser in the same machine as it is running, but cannot open it from any other machine in the network. I cannot open the default IIS7 website either.
The error is 401 – Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
This is what I have done so far, without any changes in the results:
- Changed the port of my site to 80, and the default to 8080
- Where it lists all the sites (so far just the default and mine), right-clicked on my site, selected
Edit Permissions, selected theSecuritytab, and verified thatEveryonehasAllowpermissions for everything - Where it lists all the sites (so far just the default and mine), right-clicked on my site, selected
Edit Permissions, selected theSecuritytab, and addedDomain UserswithRead & execute,List folder contentsandReadpermissions.
BTW, this fellow seem to have the same problem and there were no answers: How to allow users from other computers to connect to my IIS7 website?
I found the answer in Enabling Non Localhost access to WebMatrix
