“Execute access is denied” error message connecting to new Web site

\ by

Here's a quick IIS Setup list of steps for a new web site. Maybe that's why you got the error.

Something I always forget the steps, and the order is critical. 

  1. Create your new local asp.net website
  2. From windows explorer make the website source directory and its sub directories Read Write by setting the properties.
  3. Copy these web site folders and files to the isp provider web folder.
  4. Open up the IIS wizard and create new site. Point to the web folder.
  5. For IP address and port settings (default and 80 for me) add multiple host header values (e.g. www.mywebsite.net mywebsite.net etc.) to match your DNS values.
