I am suddenly getting a Windows Security dialog when requesting:
http://mydomain/Reports/
This happens after I have moved an ASP.NET MVC application from Server 2008 to Server 2008 R2.
This page (like others) are access controlled using Windows Form authentication. The other pages work correctly, just this page is giving me hassles - and only on this server.
Even signing in with my domain credentials fails; after the third failed login a blank page appears.
I have disabled Windows Authentication in IIS and enable Form Authentication.
The request executes:
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
The index.aspx page associated to his page contains static HTML.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Update to comments and questions:
Site (mydomain) is running as a web site on its own.
SSRS is installed on the machine but not part of this web site.
Changing the controller name to ReportController instead of ReportsController causes it to work. Something is processing Reports first, where can I find it? I don't see any Reports folder or web sites on the server...
When upgrading sql server, often it adds a virtual directory or virtual application in iis called Reports and ReportManager. Just went through this, so it's worth checking out.
Check the permissions on the folder or file, they are probably not set correctly so IIS is trying to get a valid set of credentials to continue.
Also, is that Reports folder running, say, SSRS?

Problem
I am using windows authentication with MVC5 ASP.NET application. When I went to the url of the application on my intranet, I typed in (just for example), http://derp.herp.edu. As expected, it
asked me for my login credentials on the domain. I entered these.
I then get a completely blank page. No error message. Just a white screen. I then fired up the debugger in my browser and it simply states:
Failed to open http://derp.herp.edu
Details
I don't even know where to find an error for this? I have no clue to what is causing this. I've been trying to look for logs, but since I am new to IIS7.5 I am not sure I am looking at the right ones.
I just deployed the MVC5 on an IIS7.5 Windows 2008 R2 server. It is my belief that the IIS I am trying to deploy this on is on a secured VLAN.
Attempts
Launched locally on my machine IIS7.5. It works. What the heck?
Moved to wwwroot of the inetpub file to make sure file permissions are okay on server.
Associated the default web site on IIS7.5 to the domain name. I can see it on my local machine and the server in the browser.
Thus, we know the domain name works. We know that authentication is trying to work. But something is going wrong when it tries to display the MVC 5 .NET application.
I figured out the error. It was a completely silent error as the browser was just sitting there not doing anything. I started checking IIS and noticed that .NET compilation had some problems. I found the fix at ASPNET4BreakingChangesAndStuffToBeAwareOf.
I have a simple app that was created using MVC4 and Internet Application template. I excluded the followings and deployed to a IIS7 server.
/App_Start/AuthConfig.cs
/Controllers/AccountController.cs
all views under /Views/Account/
AuthConfig.RegisterAuth() in Global.asax.cs
When the app starts with //HostingIIS/MyApp/, it always routes to AccountController's login(string returnUrl) with URL as //HostingIIS/MyApp/Account/Login?returnUrl=... with 404 error.
If I modify the URL and remove /Account/Login? and hit enter, the app will route to Home/Index correctly. This problem doesn't occur on Visual Studio Development Server on my machine.
Does anyone know what might cause the problem? Is it something on the hosting IIS?
I would guess that it's the set in the redirectUrl in your forms authentication in the web.config.
Presumably you're already authenticated locally?
If you delete all your local cookies do you see the same behaviour locally?
I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 application that I am trying to host in IIS 7.5. I tried creating a virtual directory using "Use Local IIS Web server" option in Project properties and have set the Anonymous Authentication and Windows Authentication set in IIS.
When I run the application, it opens in the browser with the url, "http://localhost\ApplicationName" and I am able to view only the tab names I have created. When I right click and view the page source, I have my scripts listed and the body defined with divs and tables. When I click the tab names, nothing happens.
In the view page source, when I click any script, it throws an error,
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Detailed Error Information
Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070002
Requested URL http://localhost:80/Scripts/Script.js
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Scripts\Script.js
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous
In IIS, I have enabled Anonymous, ASP.NET Impersonation and Windows Authentication.
Also, When I look at the Advanced settings for the directory, it shows the physical path in C\Users........ but in the Detailed Description, it shows the Physical Path as "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Scripts\Script.js".
Am I giving the path wrong? or should I place the project files in "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Scripts\Script.js"?
Please help. I have been struggling with this for a while now and it's driving me crazy.
Are you using URL Bundles or are you manually hard coding .JS paths in your front-end code? Are you seeing good/expected behavior when you run the site in debug mode within Visual Studio? I would try and gather some hints with those considerations and perhaps furnish some more information...
I have joined a team developing an ASP.NET MVC version 1 application. I run this app on my local machine using IIS version 7.5. My operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition. I use Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for development.
One of the controllers in this app is called ReportsController. The route table entries for this controller use 'Reports' as the controller name part. The problem I have is that, using IIS 7.5 on my local machine, I simply cannot access any of the Reports action methods. If I try to access, say, '/Reports/Index' from Chrome or Firefox, I get a 401 Unauthorized response (as seen using Fiddler) and the browser displays its username/password entry dialog.
Please note the following:
All other non-Report pages in the application work correctly.
If I add a breakpoint to Application_BeginRequest, it is not hit when requesting a Reports page.
If I change the Reports routing entries in the route table registration code so that I have to access paths like '/Reportss/Index' (note the extra 's') then these Reports pages work correctly.
I have tried deleting then recreating my Web application in IIS.
The Reports pages work fine if I run the application using the Visual Studio 2008 development server (Cassini).
There is no directory called Reports in the application directory.
The Reports pages work correctly on our UAT environment, also under IIS 7.5.
I have reviewed my IIS setting several times, including comparing them with those on UAT, and I can't see a problem.
While I can use Cassini to access the Reports pages, I would really like to understand what is causing this issue.
If you have Reporting Services installed on your machine. try to create a new web site and use it. If you have SSRS installed on your machine it uses /reports for hosting reports.
I have had problems using the directory name 'Reports' at the root of a .net 2.0 website on IIS 7.5. It generates a 503 Error, indicating that there is an error at the system level before IIS tries to serve the page. I am not sure if reporting services is installed on my server. I just changed the directory name, all links and everything worked.
I have the exact same issue in my MVC Application with reporting services installed on the same server where code was deployed. I have changed the Reporting Manager URL in "SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration" which was hostName/Reports and assigned a new name i.e. SSRSReports so the virtual directory is now hostName/SSRSReports.
Now my application as well as SSRS Reports are working as expected.
I just moved my site to my server which is windows 2003 sp2, sql 2005.
I have a mvc site running on my server (althought i have it turned off) it works fine but my new site does not work correctly
For some reason the routing fails to work on my server. I can hit the homepage fine using the domain but clicking on any link(or typing it in) results in simply a page not found issue!
"The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
MVC doesn't play so well with IIS6 out of the box. Have you configured a handler for either .mvc or a wildcard handler?
You need to make your MVC assemblies bin deployable: http://www.britishdeveloper.co.uk/2010/05/mvc2-deploy-could-not-load-file-or.html
