Hi All,
I have recently just installed and am running SBS 2008 (64bit), IIS 7, SQL 2008 (64bit), DNN5 and Live One Care on a Dell Power Edge 840.
I am hosting my own DNN portal and for the past 7 days everything has been working fine, until this morning when I restarted my Server. Now when I use either a client or the server and open a browser to view my webpage I receive the error message below.
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at "www.mywebpage.com"
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
Additional Information:
I can open http://localhost on the server browser, but not on the client.
When I open up IIS7 and click on My Web Site> Basic Settings>Test Connection I get the following error message.
Cannot verify access to path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\My Website folder
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.
I think this is where the problem is. The following Accounts/Users/Services have minimum of read permissions to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\My Website folder:
SYSTEM, NETWORK SERVICE, Administrators, Users, IIS_IUSRS, Trusted Installer.
There must be something else that I need to grant access to this folder, but I don't know what. It seems strange that for 7 days it was working fine, and now has stopped.
Please help, as I am pulling my hair out.
Regards,
Jared.
