Question

i am facing a wierd problem

i use visual studio 2010, SQL express 2008 on win server 2008

after running the wizard of security (created single user, set permissions like deny anonymous and allow the created user) and pressing F5 --> the site works just fine.

IIS settings:

Anonymous Auth. --> Enabled

Forms Auth. --> Enabled

ASP.Net Impersonation, Basic Auth, Digest Auth, Windows Auth--> Disabled

Read the article

Always set the "applicationName" property when configuring ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and other Providers

try creating a new website and put the application component in the root in case web.config application name = "/"

i hope this will solve it
