IIS problem with authentication

[chawladhruv]

Hi,

I am new to using IIS.. mainly because I want to deploy a C# webservice on it.

I had it properly working on another machine, but now I've installed it on my notebook and I can not manage to browse my default website through inetmgr or any browser as it keeps asking me for a username and password for localhost. I have windows authentication and anonymous authentication set up but i still can't manage to get in! I've also tried reinstalling IIS.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Also is there an easy way to deploy C# webservices on Apache?

This is urgent.
Thanks,

What version of IIS are you using? 6.0?

I understand your frustration with the IIS authentication issue you are experiencing. It is important to troubleshoot the problem by first checking your IIS settings and confirming that both Windows authentication and anonymous authentication are enabled. If they are, then it is possible that there may be an issue with your user account or permissions on your notebook. You may want to try accessing the default website using a different user account with administrative privileges. Additionally, you could try resetting the password for your local user account and see if that resolves the issue.

As for deploying C# webservices on Apache, it is possible but may require some additional configuration and setup. There are resources available online that can guide you through the process. However, if you are more comfortable with IIS, it may be worth continuing to troubleshoot and resolve the authentication issue so you can successfully deploy your webservice on IIS.

I understand that this issue may be urgent for you, but it is important to remain calm and methodical in troubleshooting to find the root cause of the problem. I hope these suggestions are helpful and wish you success in resolving the issue.
