Setting up a Website in IIS and make it available publicly

Hello Everyone,

I bought a Virtual Dedicated Server from godaddy.com and they gave me access
rights to the machine, in other words whatever I want to do...

Now they gave me 3 IP addresses to the machine, the same I use to connect to
do administrative tasks....

I created a test website on the server and gave it one of the IP address
using the IIS console....

Now my domain is www.nostor.com....It goes there but asks for
autnetication....If I eneter my username and password it gets through
otherwise not.....

I want any one to access the site and still have all the security available...

If anyone can please provide the solution.

Thanks,
Harsimrat

Hello,

Anonymous Authentication must be enabled and the anonymous user must have
permissions to access the resource. In other words, you must check the
NTFS settings on the file/folder and make sure that the anonymous account
is not denied access to it.

The "Anonymous User" is IUSR_<machinename>. When I am troubleshooting
NTFS permissions issues, I use a great, free tool called Filemon. Just
google for "Filemon download" and you will find it.

The anonymous user does not necessarily need to be IUSR_<machinename>.

Correct, I was just adding to your reply in case the original poster
wasn't clear what you meant by "anonymous user".

there need to give any other permission or read is sufficient..

It depends of course on your website. But "normally" you only need read
permissions.
