title: IIS 7.5 - 403 Forbidden
body: <p>Ok, I have scoured online resources and applied all the suggested solutions.</p>
  
  <p>I am setting up a simple website on Windows Server 2008 R2 under IIS 7.5 using the "ASP.NET v4.0" pool. I am setting this up as an application under Default Web Site with a different root. I keep getting the 403 Forbidden error.</p>
  
  <p>I have:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Installed asp.net using aspnet_regiis.exe -i (many times)  </li>
  <li>Made sure my root directory (physical path) has permissions for
  "IIS_IUSR" and "IUSR" users. </li>
  <li>Made sure "Anonymous Authentication" is enabled and set to "Application Pool Identity" </li>
  <li>I have restarted IIS numerous times</li>
  <li>I have checked and double-checked every other configuration.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What's strange is that I have another application under Default Web Site and it works just fine.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions will help. This shouldn't be so hard unless I am missing something obvious.</p>
