ColdFusion 10/IIS 7.5 Authorized Access Issue

Report · Jan 01, 2013

I've installed ColdFusion 10 on my Windows VPS, running IIS 7.5. The VPS is managed through Plesk 11.

Everything works great if I'm just trying to access an HTML file as shown here: http://broncotime.info. However, if I try to access a .cfm page, I get a login screen that prompts for my User Name and Password, see http://broncotime.info/index.cfm

If I hit cancel while logged in locally on the server, I'll see the error message:

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized

You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server.

Error Code: 0x80070005

Physical Path: C:\Inetpub\vhosts\econsummit.secureserver.net\broncotime.info\index.cfm

From everything I've read, including the on-page 'likely causes', it's an issue where the user doesn't have the correct permissions. However, I've updated all the files within C:\Inetpub\vhosts\econsummit.secureserver.net\broncotime.info\ and c:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot to have read\execute permissions for everyone. So I'm unsure where the permission issue could be since it seems like I covered all my bases there.

I've also updated the Anonymous Authentication (within the IIS settings) to point to Application pool identity as specified by other folks who have experienced this. To no avail!

So my question is: How do I make my ColdFusion pages viewable to the public?

One more not since this may factor in somewhere...none of the user accounts set up for the server actually work for the prompted authentication.

Thanks,

Aaron

I did find this page entitled Coldfusion, IIS7, Plesk and 401 Authentication that seems to address the issue but like the comments from the users at the bottom of that page, I don't have ColdFusion listed in the Plesk reconfigurator.
