Could you show us your code?

I.explore.code 9-Oct-12 4:05am

can you post your web.config settings here? I think the error is quite self-explanatory, the credentials i.e. username and password are wrong. DO make sure that's not the case.

See modified question.

Config seems fine. Can you also check your IIS settings (authentication related) for me? Make sure that's set to Windows as well.

Sharma Ganu 9-Oct-12 5:39am

i checked its set window authentication is enable.

Sharma Ganu 9-Oct-12 5:41am

And have you added yourself to the authorized users on IIS side? What IIS? Is ASP.NET enabled?

To resolve this issue, you must turn off Simple File Sharing, and then take ownership of the folder:

Turn off Simple File Sharing:
Click Start, and then click My Computer.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
Under Advanced Settings, click to clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box, and then click OK.
Right-click the folder that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message, if one appears.
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
In the Name list, click your user name, Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group.

If you want to take ownership of the contents of that folder, click to select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
Click OK.

You may receive the following error message, where Folder is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership of:
You do not have permission to read the contents of directory Folder. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.
Click Yes.
Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and the folder contents.

Exactly same issue someone else had. See if this 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials[^] works
