Ok, so I am in the process of setting up and hardening an IIS8 web server on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I currently have the following services installed.
SSH Telnet Webdav MySQL FTP PHP 5.5.34 CGI
and when I try to access my http://localhost which just contains the default html file advertising server 2012 R2 I get the dreaded "HTTP Error 401.503 - Unauthorized"
However, after scanning the internet for solutions, 90% of what I can find all just says add the user IIS_IUSRS to the list and give it permissions, well my problem is that its already there and it already has permissions but I am still getting the authorized error and I cannot work out why.
Is there anyway to get IIS to show me anymore detailed error information or does anybody know of a solution?
The error I get is
"Most Likely Causes: The authenticated user does not have access to a resource needed to process the request" "Things you can try: Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP Status code"
