Hi, I noticed there are a lot of same threads going on, but I still don't find any solution that is applyable to me. Therefore I post it again hoping that someone really can help me. If I can't get it run, we can't test the application and therefore we can't go life... so a lot of pressure is on me right now.
I developed the application on my local developer machine, a server 2003 with IIS 6, and everything went perfect. Including installing and configuring DNN with databases etc...

Now we need to deploy it on our test server, also a Windows 2003 with IIS 6. I unzipped the install folder in a created folder in the Inetpub. Created a web site in IIS, added the NETWORK SERVICE user with full permissions and set the Default.aspx as start page.

When I try to browse it, i get a HTTP 403 error

 

The website declined to show this webpage

 HTTP 403
 
 

Most likely causes:

  • This website requires you to log in.
 

What you can try:

 

Go back to the previous page.

 

More information More information

This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that this program was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.

The configuration is EXACT the same as on my developer machine, including the environment.
EXCEPT: I am using on the test server an IP address and 2 identities (but it didn't work with only one eather)

When I try to browse directly the Default.aspx file I get the followin asp.net error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested Url: /Default.aspx

I am out of resources, our installation expert is out of resources and our network manager is out of resources and ideas what can be wrong with it. We do have this made up and running so we can have something online  for our support team while we're developing our own portal/framework.
Any help is extremely appreciated ;)

After a whole day of "fooling" around we ended up finding the problem (and solution) by 5 o'clock or so. 
Turned out that the ip address assigned to the web site was still linked to another (unused) location in the company. Using a new free ip address solved the error and I could start configuring, installing skins and modules and preparing everything for testing after 5.

Very happy ofcourse that it turned out working fine after all. Saved me and the company a lot of problems, time and resources.

So for all of you guys who may have the same error... check the ip address if it is really available or not . It may save you a whole day and allows you to go home early .

Check the value of HTTPAlias in the PoralAlias Table. Here is a post that may explain it more....
