Browser asking for username and password.

It is a permissions problem, but doing the connector reinstall isn't going to fix your problem. If anything, it'll make it worse.

Make sure you've got a CFIDE mapping to match your CFIDE folder. Also, make sure ColdFusion and IIS both have permissions to those folders.

I have two trains of thought on setting permissions. The easiest but not as secure method is to grant everyone read privs (including your CFIDE folder's scripts directory). The other way to do it is to not grant anyone privs and grant the IUSR user (and ColdFusion read only privs to your web sites and CFIDE\scripts folder. You're not running ColdFusion as system are you?

I usually do the everyone thing on intranet servers where I'm not quite as concerned with their security as I am an internet server, though I'm starting to ponder a shift away from everyone even on the intranet servers.

In IIS, also make sure your anonymous browsing is on and that there are no restrictions on who can see the pages.

ray,

Sounds like a permission problem.

Try running these.

ColdFusionDirectory\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors.bat

ColdFusionDirectory\bin\connectors\IIS_connector.bat
